WEB·2 John 1

¹The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,

KJVThe elder^G4245 unto the elect^G1588 lady^G2959 and^G2532 her^G846 children^G5043, whom^G3739 I^G1473 love^G25^(G5719) in^G1722 the truth^G225; and^G2532 not^G3756 I^G1473 only^G3441, but^G235 also^G2532 all^G3956 they that have known^G1097^(G5761) the truth^G225;

² for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:

KJVFor^G1223 the truth's sake^G225, which^G3588 dwelleth^G3306^(G5723) in^G1722 us^G2254, and^G2532 shall be^G2071^(G5704) with^G3326 us^G2257 for^G1519 ever^G165.

³ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

KJVGrace^G5485 be^G2071^(G5704) with^G3326 you^G5216, mercy^G1656, and peace^G1515, from^G3844 God^G2316 the Father^G3962, and^G2532 from^G3844 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, the Son^G5207 of the Father^G3962, in^G1722 truth^G225 and^G2532 love^G26.

⁴ I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.

KJVI rejoiced^G5463^(G5644) greatly^G3029 that^G3754 I found^G2147^(G5758) of^G1537 thy^G4675 children^G5043 walking^G4043^(G5723) in^G1722 truth^G225, as^G2531 we have received^G2983^(G5627) a commandment^G1785 from^G3844 the Father^G3962.

⁵ Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568 I beseech^G2065^(G5719) thee^G4571, lady^G2959, not^G3756 as though^G5613 I wrote^G1125^(G5719)^(G5625)^G1125^(G5723) a new^G2537 commandment^G1785 unto thee^G4671, but^G235 that which^G3739 we had^G2192^(G5707) from^G575 the beginning^G746, that^G2443 we love^G25^(G5725) one another^G240.

⁶ This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) love^G26, that^G2443 we walk^G4043^(G5725) after^G2596 his^G846 commandments^G1785. This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the commandment^G1785, That^G2443, as^G2531 ye have heard^G191^(G5656) from^G575 the beginning^G746, ye should walk^G4043^(G5725) in^G1722 it^G846.

⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

KJVFor^G3754 many^G4183 deceivers^G4108 are entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the world^G2889, who^G3588 confess^G3670^(G5723) not^G3361 that Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 is come^G2064^(G5740) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561. This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) a deceiver^G4108 and^G2532 an antichrist^G500.

⁸ Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

KJVLook^G991^(G5720) to yourselves^G1438, that^G3363 we lose^G622^(G5661) not^G3363 those things which^G3739 we have wrought^G2038^(G5662), but^G235 that we receive^G618^(G5632) a full^G4134 reward^G3408.

⁹ Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

KJVWhosoever^G3956 transgresseth^G3845^(G5723), and^G2532 abideth^G3306^(G5723) not^G3361 in^G1722 the doctrine^G1322 of Christ^G5547, hath^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 God^G2316. He that abideth^G3306^(G5723) in^G1722 the doctrine^G1322 of Christ^G5547, he^G3778 hath^G2192^(G5719) both^G2532 the Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Son^G5207.

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,

KJVIf^G1536 there come^G2064^(G5736) any^G1536^G5100 unto^G4314 you^G5209, and^G2532 bring^G5342^(G5719) not^G3756 this^G5026 doctrine^G1322, receive^G2983^(G5720) him^G846 not^G3361 into^G1519 your house^G3614, neither^G2532^G3361 bid^G3004^(G5720) him^G846 God speed^G5463^(G5721):

¹¹ for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.

KJVFor^G1063 he that biddeth^G3004^(G5723) him^G846 God speed^G5463^(G5721) is partaker^G2841^(G5719) of his^G846 evil^G4190 deeds^G2041.

¹² Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

KJVHaving^G2192^(G5723) many things^G4183 to write^G1125^(G5721) unto you^G5213, I would^G1014^(G5675) not^G3756 write with^G1223 paper^G5489 and^G2532 ink^G3188: but^G235 I trust^G1679^(G5719) to come^G2064^(G5629) unto^G4314 you^G5209, and^G2532 speak^G2980^(G5658) face^G4750 to^G4314 face^G4750, that^G2443 our^G2257 joy^G5479 may be^G5600^(G5753) full^G4137^(G5772).

¹³ The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.

KJVThe children^G5043 of thy^G4675 elect^G1588 sister^G79 greet^G782^(G5736) thee^G4571. Amen^G281.

WEB·1 John 5

¹Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

KJVWhosoever^G3956 believeth^G4100^(G5723) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 is^G2076^(G5748) the Christ^G5547 is born^G1080^(G5769) of^G1537 God^G2316: and^G2532 every one^G3956 that loveth^G25^(G5723) him that begat^G1080^(G5660) loveth^G25^(G5719)^(G5725) him also^G2532 that is begotten^G1080^(G5772) of^G1537 him^G846.

² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

KJVBy^G1722 this^G5129 we know^G1097^(G5719) that^G3754 we love^G25^(G5719) the children^G5043 of God^G2316, when^G3752 we love^G25^(G5719) God^G2316, and^G2532 keep^G5083^(G5725) his^G846 commandments^G1785.

³ For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

KJVFor^G1063 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the love^G26 of God^G2316, that^G2443 we keep^G5083^(G5725) his^G846 commandments^G1785: and^G2532 his^G846 commandments^G1785 are^G1526^(G5748) not^G3756 grievous^G926.

⁴ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

KJVFor^G3754 whatsoever^G3956 is born^G1080^(G5772) of^G1537 God^G2316 overcometh^G3528^(G5719) the world^G2889: and^G2532 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the victory^G3529 that overcometh^G3528^(G5660) the world^G2889, even our^G2257 faith^G4102.

⁵ Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

KJVWho^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) he that overcometh^G3528^(G5723) the world^G2889, but^G1508 he that believeth^G4100^(G5723) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 is^G2076^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316?

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

KJVThis^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) he that came^G2064^(G5631) by^G1223 water^G5204 and^G2532 blood^G129, even Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547; not^G3756 by^G1722 water^G5204 only^G3440, but^G235 by^G1722 water^G5204 and^G2532 blood^G129. And^G2532 it is^G2076^(G5748) the Spirit^G4151 that beareth witness^G3140^(G5723), because^G3754 the Spirit^G4151 is^G2076^(G5748) truth^G225.

⁷ For there are three who testify:

KJVFor^G3754 there are^G1526^(G5748) three^G5140 that bear record^G3140^(G5723) in^G1722 heaven^G3772, the Father^G3962, the Word^G3056, and^G2532 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151: and^G2532 these^G3778 three^G5140 are^G1526^(G5748) one^G1520.

⁸ the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

KJVAnd^G2532 there are^G1526^(G5748) three^G5140 that bear witness^G3140^(G5723) in^G1722 earth^G1093, the Spirit^G4151, and^G2532 the water^G5204, and^G2532 the blood^G129: and^G2532 these three^G5140 agree^G1526^(G5748) in^G1519 one^G1520.

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

KJVIf^G1487 we receive^G2983^(G5719) the witness^G3141 of men^G444, the witness^G3141 of God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) greater^G3187: for^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the witness^G3141 of God^G2316 which^G3739 he hath testified^G3140^(G5758) of^G4012 his^G846 Son^G5207.

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

KJVHe that believeth^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316 hath^G2192^(G5719) the witness^G3141 in^G1722 himself^G1438: he that believeth^G4100^(G5723) not^G3361 God^G2316 hath made^G4160^(G5758) him^G846 a liar^G5583; because^G3754 he believeth^G4100^(G5758) not^G3756^G1519 the record^G3141 that^G3739 God^G2316 gave^G3140^(G5758) of^G4012 his^G846 Son^G5207.

¹¹ The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the record^G3141, that^G3754 God^G2316 hath given^G1325^(G5656) to us^G2254 eternal^G166 life^G2222, and^G2532 this^G3778 life^G2222 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 his^G846 Son^G5207.

¹² He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

KJVHe that hath^G2192^(G5723) the Son^G5207 hath^G2192^(G5719) life^G2222; and he that hath^G2192^(G5723) not^G3361 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316 hath^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 life^G2222.

¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

KJVThese things^G5023 have I written^G1125^(G5656) unto you^G5213 that believe^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 the name^G3686 of the Son^G5207 of God^G2316; that^G2443 ye may know^G1492^(G5762) that ye^G3754 have^G2192^(G5719) eternal^G166 life^G2222, and^G2532 that^G2443 ye may believe^G4100^(G5725) on^G1519 the name^G3686 of the Son^G5207 of God^G2316.

¹⁴ This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the confidence^G3954 that^G3739 we have^G2192^(G5719) in^G4314 him^G846, that^G3754, if^G1437 we ask^G154^(G5735) any thing^G5100 according^G2596 to his^G846 will^G2307, he heareth^G191^(G5719) us^G2257:

¹⁵ And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 he hear^G191^(G5719) us^G2257, whatsoever^G3739^G302 we ask^G154^(G5735), we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 we have^G2192^(G5719) the petitions^G155 that^G3739 we desired^G154^(G5758) of^G3844 him^G846.

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

KJVIf^G1437 any man^G5100 see^G1492^(G5632) his^G846 brother^G80 sin^G264^(G5723) a sin^G266 which is not^G3361 unto^G4314 death^G2288, he shall ask^G154^(G5692), and^G2532 he shall give^G1325^(G5692) him^G846 life^G2222 for them that sin^G264^(G5723) not^G3361 unto^G4314 death^G2288. There is^G2076^(G5748) a sin^G266 unto^G4314 death^G2288: I do not^G3756 say^G3004^(G5719) that^G2443 he shall pray^G2065^(G5661) for^G4012 it^G1565.

¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

KJVAll^G3956 unrighteousness^G93 is^G2076^(G5748) sin^G266: and^G2532 there is^G2076^(G5748) a sin^G266 not^G3756 unto^G4314 death^G2288.

¹⁸ We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

KJVWe know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 whosoever^G3956 is born^G1080^(G5772) of^G1537 God^G2316 sinneth^G264^(G5719) not^G3756; but^G235 he that is begotten^G1080^(G5685) of^G1537 God^G2316 keepeth^G5083^(G5719) himself^G1438, and^G2532 that wicked one^G4190 toucheth^G680^(G5731) him^G846 not^G3756.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

KJVAnd we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 we are^G2070^(G5748) of^G1537 God^G2316, and^G2532 the whole^G3650 world^G2889 lieth^G2749^(G5736) in^G1722 wickedness^G4190.

²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

KJVAnd^G1161 we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316 is come^G2240^(G5719), and^G2532 hath given^G1325^(G5758) us^G2254 an understanding^G1271, that^G2443 we may know^G1097^(G5725) him that is true^G228, and^G2532 we are^G2070^(G5748) in^G1722 him that is true^G228, even in^G1722 his^G846 Son^G5207 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the true^G228 God^G2316, and^G2532 eternal^G166 life^G2222.

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

KJVLittle children^G5040, keep^G5442^(G5657) yourselves^G1438 from^G575 idols^G1497. Amen^G281.
