¹⁵ Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life --these do not come from the Father but are from the world . ¹⁷ And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever. ¹⁸ Boys (lads), it is the last time (hour, the end of this age). And as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, which confirms our belief that it is the final (the end) time. ¹⁹ They went out from our number, but they did not belong to us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But that it might be plain that they all are not of us. ²⁰ But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know or you know all things. ²¹ I write to you not because you are ignorant and do not perceive and know the Truth, but because you do perceive and know it, and that nothing false (no deception, no lie) is of the Truth. ²² Who is liar as he who denies that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah)? He is the antichrist (the antagonist of Christ), who denies and refuses to acknowledge the Father and the Son. ²³ No one who denies (disowns) the Son even has the Father. Whoever confesses (acknowledges and has) the Son has the Father also. ²⁴ As for you, keep in your hearts what you have heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the first dwells and remains in you, then you will dwell in the Son and in the Father . ²⁵ And this is what He Himself has promised us--the life, the eternal . ²⁶ I write this to you with reference to those who would deceive you . ²⁷ But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides in you; then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him , just as has taught you . ²⁸ And now, little children, abide (live, remain permanently) in Him, so that when He is made visible, we may have and enjoy perfect confidence (boldness, assurance) and not be ashamed and shrink from Him at His coming. ²⁹ If you know (perceive and are sure) that He is righteous , you may also know (be sure) that everyone who does righteously is born (begotten) of Him .
