WEB·1 John 1

¹That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

KJVThat which^G3739 was^G2258^(G5713) from^G575 the beginning^G746, which^G3739 we have heard^G191^(G5754), which^G3739 we have seen^G3708^(G5758) with our^G2257 eyes^G3788, which^G3739 we have looked upon^G2300^(G5662), and^G2532 our^G2257 hands^G5495 have handled^G5584^(G5656), of^G4012 the Word^G3056 of life^G2222;

² (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);

KJV(For^G2532 the life^G2222 was manifested^G5319^(G5681), and^G2532 we have seen^G3708^(G5758) it, and^G2532 bear witness^G3140^(G5719), and^G2532 shew^G518^(G5719) unto you^G5213 that eternal^G166 life^G2222, which^G3748 was^G2258^(G5713) with^G4314 the Father^G3962, and^G2532 was manifested^G5319^(G5681) unto us^G2254;)

³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

KJVThat which^G3739 we have seen^G3708^(G5758) and^G2532 heard^G191^(G5754) declare we^G518^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that^G2443 ye^G5210 also^G2532 may have^G2192^(G5725) fellowship^G2842 with^G3326 us^G2257: and^G2532 truly our^G2251 fellowship^G2842^G1161 is with^G3326 the Father^G3962, and^G2532 with^G3326 his^G846 Son^G5207 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁴ And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.

KJVAnd^G2532 these things^G5023 write we^G1125^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that^G2443 your^G5216 joy^G5479 may be^G5600^(G5753) full^G4137^(G5772).

⁵ This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

KJVThis^G3778 then^G2532 is^G2076^(G5748) the message^G1860 which^G3739 we have heard^G191^(G5754) of^G575 him^G846, and^G2532 declare^G312^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that^G3754 God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) light^G5457, and^G2532 in^G1722 him^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) no^G3756 darkness^G4653 at all^G3762.

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.

KJVIf^G1437 we say^G2036^(G5632) that^G3754 we have^G2192^(G5719) fellowship^G2842 with^G3326 him^G846, and^G2532 walk^G4043^(G5725) in^G1722 darkness^G4655, we lie^G5574^(G5727), and^G2532 do^G4160^(G5719) not^G3756 the truth^G225:

⁷ But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1437 we walk^G4043^(G5725) in^G1722 the light^G5457, as^G5613 he^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 the light^G5457, we have^G2192^(G5719) fellowship^G2842 one with another^G3326^G240, and^G2532 the blood^G129 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 his^G846 Son^G5207 cleanseth^G2511^(G5719) us^G2248 from^G575 all^G3956 sin^G266.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

KJVIf^G1437 we say^G2036^(G5632) that^G3754 we have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 sin^G266, we deceive^G4105^(G5719) ourselves^G1438, and^G2532 the truth^G225 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 in^G1722 us^G2254.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

KJVIf^G1437 we confess^G3670^(G5725) our^G2257 sins^G266, he is^G2076^(G5748) faithful^G4103 and^G2532 just^G1342 to^G2443 forgive^G863^(G5632) us^G2254 our sins^G266, and^G2532 to cleanse^G2511^(G5661) us^G2248 from^G575 all^G3956 unrighteousness^G93.

¹⁰ If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

KJVIf^G1437 we say^G2036^(G5632) that^G3754 we have^G264 not^G3756 sinned^G264^(G5758), we make^G4160^(G5719) him^G846 a liar^G5583, and^G2532 his^G846 word^G3056 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 in^G1722 us^G2254.

WEB·2 Peter 3

¹This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you

KJVThis^G5026 second^G1208 epistle^G1992, beloved^G27, I^G1125 now^G2235 write^G1125^(G5719) unto you^G5213; in^G1722 both which^G3739 I stir up^G1326^(G5719) your^G5216 pure^G1506 minds^G1271 by way^G1722 of remembrance^G5280:

² that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

KJVThat ye may be mindful^G3415^(G5683) of the words^G4487 which were spoken before^G4280^(G5772) by^G5259 the holy^G40 prophets^G4396, and^G2532 of the commandment^G1785 of us^G2257 the apostles^G652 of the Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990:

³ knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

KJVKnowing^G1097^(G5723) this^G5124 first^G4412, that^G3754 there shall come^G2064^(G5695) in^G1909 the last^G2078 days^G2250 scoffers^G1703, walking^G4198^(G5740) after^G2596 their^G846 own^G2398 lusts^G1939,

⁴ and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

KJVAnd^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Where^G4226 is^G2076^(G5748) the promise^G1860 of his^G846 coming^G3952? for^G1063 since^G575^G3739 the fathers^G3962 fell asleep^G2837^(G5681), all things^G3956 continue^G3779^G1265^(G5719) as they were from^G575 the beginning^G746 of the creation^G2937.

⁵ For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

KJVFor^G1063 this^G5124 they^G846 willingly^G2309^(G5723) are ignorant of^G2990^(G5719), that^G3754 by the word^G3056 of God^G2316 the heavens^G3772 were^G2258^(G5713) of old^G1597, and^G2532 the earth^G1093 standing out^G4921^(G5761) of^G1537 the water^G5204 and^G2532 in^G1223 the water^G5204:

⁶ by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

KJVWhereby^G1223^G3739 the world^G2889 that then was^G5119, being overflowed^G2626^(G5685) with water^G5204, perished^G622^(G5639):

⁷ But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

KJVBut^G1161 the heavens^G3772 and^G2532 the earth^G1093, which are now^G3568, by the same^G846 word^G3056 are^G1526^(G5748) kept in store^G2343^(G5772), reserved^G5083^(G5746) unto fire^G4442 against^G1519 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920 and^G2532 perdition^G684 of ungodly^G765 men^G444.

⁸ But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

KJVBut^G1161, beloved^G27, be^G2990 not^G3361^G5209 ignorant^G2990^(G5720) of this one^G1520 thing^G5124, that^G3754 one^G3391 day^G2250 is with^G3844 the Lord^G2962 as^G5613 a thousand^G5507 years^G2094, and^G2532 a thousand^G5507 years^G2094 as^G5613 one^G3391 day^G2250.

⁹ The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

KJVThe Lord^G2962 is^G1019 not^G3756 slack^G1019^(G5719) concerning his promise^G1860, as^G5613 some men^G5100 count^G2233^(G5736) slackness^G1022; but^G235 is longsuffering^G3114^(G5719) to^G1519 us-ward^G2248, not^G3361 willing^G1014^(G5740) that any^G5100 should perish^G622^(G5641), but^G235 that all^G3956 should come^G5562^(G5658) to^G1519 repentance^G3341.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

KJVBut^G1161 the day^G2250 of the Lord^G2962 will come^G2240^(G5692) as^G5613 a thief^G2812 in^G1722 the night^G3571; in^G1722 the which^G3739 the heavens^G3772 shall pass away^G3928^(G5695) with a great noise^G4500, and^G1161 the elements^G4747 shall melt^G3089^(G5701) with fervent heat^G2741^(G5746), the earth^G1093 also^G2532 and^G2532 the works^G2041 that are therein^G1722^G846 shall be burned up^G2618^(G5691).

¹¹ Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

KJVSeeing then^G3767 that all^G3956 these things^G5130 shall be dissolved^G3089^(G5746), what manner^G4217 of persons ought^G1163^(G5748) ye^G5209 to be^G5225^(G5721) in^G1722 all holy^G40 conversation^G391 and^G2532 godliness^G2150,

¹² looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

KJVLooking for^G4328^(G5723) and^G2532 hasting^G4692^(G5723) unto the coming^G3952 of the day^G2250 of God^G2316, wherein^G1223^G3739 the heavens^G3772 being on fire^G4448^(G5746) shall be dissolved^G3089^(G5701), and^G2532 the elements^G4747 shall melt^G5080^(G5743) with fervent heat^G2741^(G5746)?

¹³ But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

KJVNevertheless^G1161 we^G4328, according to^G2596 his^G846 promise^G1862, look for^G4328^(G5719) new^G2537 heavens^G3772 and^G2532 a new^G2537 earth^G1093, wherein^G1722^G3739 dwelleth^G2730^(G5719) righteousness^G1343.

¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

KJVWherefore^G1352, beloved^G27, seeing that ye look for^G4328^(G5723) such things^G5023, be diligent^G4704^(G5657) that ye may be found^G2147^(G5683) of him^G846 in^G1722 peace^G1515, without spot^G784, and^G2532 blameless^G298.

¹⁵ Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,

KJVAnd^G2532 account^G2233^(G5737) that the longsuffering^G3115 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 is salvation^G4991; even as^G2531 our^G2257 beloved^G27 brother^G80 Paul^G3972 also^G2532 according to^G2596 the wisdom^G4678 given^G1325^(G5685) unto him^G846 hath written^G1125^(G5656) unto you^G5213;

¹⁶ as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

KJVAs^G5613 also^G2532 in^G1722 all^G3956 his epistles^G1992, speaking^G2980^(G5723) in^G1722 them^G846 of^G4012 these things^G5130; in^G1722 which^G3739 are^G2076^(G5748) some things^G5100 hard to be understood^G1425, which^G3739 they that are unlearned^G261 and^G2532 unstable^G793 wrest^G4761^(G5719), as^G5613 they do also^G2532 the other^G3062 scriptures^G1124, unto^G4314 their^G846 own^G2398 destruction^G684.

¹⁷ You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

KJVYe^G5210 therefore^G3767, beloved^G27, seeing ye know these things before^G4267^(G5723), beware^G5442^(G5732) lest^G3363 ye also^G1601, being led away^G4879^(G5685) with the error^G4106 of the wicked^G113, fall from^G1601^(G5632) your own^G2398 stedfastness^G4740.

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

KJVBut^G1161 grow^G837^(G5720) in^G1722 grace^G5485, and^G2532 in the knowledge^G1108 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. To him^G846 be glory^G1391 both^G2532 now^G3568 and^G2532 for^G1519 ever^G165^G2250. Amen^G281.
