I John
1:1 That which was from the beginning, what we have heard and have seen with our own eyes, that we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the Word of Life;1:2 (For the Life was made visible and we have seen it, and bear witness, and bring tidings to you that Age-Lasting Life, that was with the Father, and was made visible to us;)1:3 What we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.1:4 And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.1:5 This then is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you, THAT ELOHIM IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL.1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and produce not the Truth:1:7 But if we walk in the Light, as he is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is not in us.1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.
2:1 My little children, these things I write to you that you sin not. And if anyone sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole cosmos.2:3 And in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may observe.2:4 He that says, I know him, and observes not his commandments, is a liar and the Truth is not in him.2:5 But whoever observes his Word, in him truly is the Love of Elohim made perfect: by this we know that we are in him.2:6 He that says he abides in him should himself also be walking, even as he walked.2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word that you have heard from the beginning.2:8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, this thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness has past and the True Light now shines.2:9 He that says he is in the Light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.2:10 He that loves his brother abides in the Light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.2:11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.2:12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his Name's sake.2:13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have conquered hardships. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.2:14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of Elohim remains in you, and you have conquered hardships.2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone love the world, the Love of the Father is not in him.2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.2:17 And the world passes away, and its lust: but he that does the will of Elohim remains for the ages.2:18 Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as you heard that the Antichrist does come, even now antichrists have become many, by this we know that it is the last hour.2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out that they might be made visible that they were not all of us.2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.2:21 I have not written to you because you know not the Truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the Truth.2:22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.2:23 Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father, but he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.2:24 Let that therefore remain in you, what you have heard from the beginning. If what you have heard from the beginning will remain in you, you will also continue in the Son, and in the Father.2:25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even Age-Lasting Life.2:26 These things I have written to you concerning them that go astray.2:27 But the anointing that you have received from him abides in you. And you have no need that anyone may teach you, but as the same anointing does teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, you will remain in him.2:28 And now, little children, remain in him; that when he will appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his Advent.2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone that produces righteousness is begotten of him.
3:1 Observe what quality of Love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of Elohim: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.3:2 Beloved, now we are the sons of Elohim, and it does not yet appear what we will be: but we know that when he will appear, we will be resembling him; for we will see him as he is.3:3 And everyone that has this expectation in them cleanses themselves, even as they are clean.3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the Law: for sin is lawlessness.3:5 And you know that he was made visible to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.3:6 Whoever remains in him sins not: whoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: He that produces righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.3:8 He that produces sin is of the Devil; because from the beginning the Devil does sin; for this was the Son of Elohim made visible, that he may break up the works of the Devil.3:9 Whoever is begotten of Elohim does not commit sin; because his seed lives in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of Elohim.3:10 In this the children of Elohim are made visible, and the children of the Devil: whoever produces not righteousness is not of Elohim, neither he that is not fond of his brother.3:11 Because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love dearly one another.3:12 Not as Cain, who was of the bad and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were bad, but his brother's were righteous.3:13 Wonder not my brethren, if the world hates you.3:14 We know that we have passed from death to Life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother remains in darkness.3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has Age-Lasting Life abiding in him.3:16 Hereby we perceive the Love of Elohim, because he laid down his Life for us: and we should be laying down our lives for the brethren.3:17 But whoever has this world's wealth, seeing his brother has need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how remains the Love of Elohim in him?3:18 My little children, let us not Love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in Truth.3:19 And by this we know that we are of the Truth, and will persuade our hearts before him.3:20 Because if our heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all things.3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemns us not, then we have confidence toward Elohim.3:22 And whatever we ask we receive of him, because we observe his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.3:23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the Name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.3:24 And he that observes his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but examine the spirits whether they are of Elohim: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.4:2 By this you know the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that agrees that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of Elohim:4:3 And every spirit that agrees not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of Elohim: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard that it should come; and even now already it is in the world.4:4 You are of Elohim, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.4:5 They are of the world: therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.4:6 We are of Elohim: those that know Elohim hear us; those that are not of Elohim hear us not. By this we know the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error.4:7 Beloved, let us love dearly one another: for Love is of Elohim; and everyone that dearly loves is begotten of Elohim, and knows Elohim.4:8 Those that do not love dearly know not Elohim; because Elohim is Love (Agape).4:9 In this was made visible the Love of Elohim toward us, because that Elohim sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.4:10 This is Love, not that we dearly loved Elohim, but that he dearly loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.4:11 Beloved, if Elohim so loved us, we should also love one another.4:12 No one has seen Elohim at any time. If we dearly love one another, Elohim abides in us, and his Love is made perfect in us.4:13 By this we know that we remain in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.4:15 Whoever will confess that Jesus is the Son of Elohim, Elohim abides in him, and he in Elohim.4:16 And we have known and believed the Love that Elohim has for us. Elohim is Love; and they that remains in Love abide in Elohim, and Elohim in them.4:17 By this is our Love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.4:18 There is no dread in Love; but perfect brotherly love casts out dread: because dread has punishment. Those that dread are not made perfect in Love.4:19 We dearly love him, because he first dearly loved us.4:20 If a person says, I dearly love Elohim but hates their brother, they are a liar: for they that love not their brother who they have seen, how can they dearly love Elohim who they have not seen?4:21 And this commandment we have from him, That they who dearly love Elohim Love their brother also.
5:1 Everyone who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of Elohim they have been begotten, and everyone who is loving him who did beget, does love also him who is begotten of him.5:2 By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim, and observe his commandments.5:3 Because this is the Love of Elohim, that we observe his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.5:4 For whoever is begotten of Elohim overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our Faith.5:5 Who is he that overcomes the world but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of Elohim? 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is Truth.5:7 [Omitted, from perverted Latin Vulgate] 5:8 The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; And the three are witnesses unto one thing.5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of Elohim is greater: for this is the witness of Elohim that he has testified of his Son.5:10 Those that believes on the Son of Elohim have the witness in themselves: those that believes not Elohim have made him a liar; because they believed not the record that Elohim gave from his Son.5:11 And this is the record, that Elohim has given to us Age-Lasting Life, and this Life is in his Son.5:12 Those that have the Son have Life; and those that have not the Son of Elohim have not Life.5:13 These things have I written to you that believe on the Name of the Son of Elohim; that you may know that you have Age-Lasting Life, and that you may believe on the Name of the Son of Elohim.5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us:5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.5:16 If anyone sees their brother sin a sin that is not unto death, he will ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that they will pray for it.5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.5:18 We know that whoever is begotten of Elohim sins not; but they that are begotten of Elohim guard themselves so that the wicked one touches them not.5:19 And we know that we are of Elohim, and the whole world lies in peril.5:20 And we know that the Son of Elohim has come, and has given us an understanding that we may know him that is real, and we are in him that is real, even in his son Jesus Christ. This is the Real Elohim, and Age- Lasting Life.5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from false elohim. Amen.
II John
1:1 The elder to the elect Christian woman and her children, who I am fond of in the Truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the Truth;1:2 By the means of the reality that abides in us, and will be with us for the ages.1:3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace, from YHWH Elohim the Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in Truth and Love.1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children walking in Truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.1:5 And now I entreat you, Christian woman, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but what we had from the beginning, that we dearly love one another.1:6 This is Love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things that we have acquired, but that we receive a full wage.1:9 Whoever transgresses, and does not remain in the Doctrine of Christ, has not Elohim. He that abides in the Doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.1:10 If there come any to you, and bring not This Doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him salutations:1:11 For he that bids him salutations is partaker of his bad undertakings.1:12 Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face that our joy may be full.1:13 The children of your elect sister welcomes your. Amen.
III John
1:1 The elder to the esteemed Gaius, who I love in the Truth.1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your life prospers.1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the Truth that is in you, even as you walk in the Truth.1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in Truth.1:5 Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brethren, even though they are foreigners to you.1:6 That have witnessed of your Love before the ekklesia: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for slaves of Elohim.1:7 Because that for his Name's sake they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.1:8 We therefore should receive such ones, that we might be fellow workers to the Truth.1:9 I wrote to the ekklesia: but Diotrephes, who loved to have the preeminence among them, received us not.1:10 Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds that he did, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therein, neither did he himself receive the brethren, and forbid them that would, and cast them out of the ekklesia.1:11 Beloved, follow not what is bad, but what is good. He that does good is of Elohim: but he that does evil has not seen Elohim.1:12 Demetrius has a good report of all men, and of the Truth itself: yes, and we also bear record; and you know that our record is truthful.1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write to you:1:14 But I trust I will shortly see you, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. Our friends salute you. Greet the friends by name.
Jude
1:1 Jude, the slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to them that are consecrated by Elohim the Father, and guarded by Jesus Christ and called:1:2 Mercy to you, and peace and love be multiplied.1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the Faith that was once delivered to the saints.1:4 For there are some men crept in unawares, who were designated beforehand long ago to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the Grace of our Elohim into licentiousness, and denying the only MASTER YHWH Elohim, and our LORD Jesus Christ.1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.1:6 And the angels that kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in age-abiding chains under darkness to the Judgment of the Great Day.1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them in the same way, gave themselves over to fornication, and going after different flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of age- lasting fire.1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil, he disputed about the body of Moses but did not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the LORD adjudge you.1:10 But these speak evil of those things that they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the rebellion of Core.1:12 These are spots in your love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the Blackness of Darkness for the ages.1:14 And Enoch also, the 7th from Adam, prophesied of these saying, Behold, the LORD comes with 10,000's of his saints,1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds that they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaking great swelling words, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit.1:17 But beloved, remember you the words that were spoken before by the Apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ;1:18 How that they told you there would be mockers in the Last Time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts.1:19 These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.1:20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your Most Holy Faith, praying in the Sacred Spirit,1:21 Guard yourselves in the Love of Elohim, looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto Age- Lasting Life.1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:1:23 But others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.1:24 Now to him that is able to guard you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,1:25 to the only wise Elohim our Savior, is glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for the ages. Amen.
