What was from the start, what we had heard, what we had seen with our own eyes, what we gazed at and our own hands groped about for surrounding the Logos of Life—and Life was made visible, and we had seen and we are testifying and we are proclaiming to you the Life of the Eternal One which was facing the Father and was made visible to us—what we had seen and had heard, we are proclaiming to you too, so that you also would hold communion with us. And the communion which is ours is with the Father and with His Son, Yeshua the Anointed. And we are writing these things, so that our joy would be filled to the brim.
And this is the report which we had heard from Him and re-tell to you, that the God is light and there is not one bit of darkness in Him at all. If we should say that we hold communion with Him and should walk within the darkness, we are lying and aren’t engaging in Reality; yet if we should walk within the light like He is within the light, we hold communion with one another and the blood of Yeshua His Son makes us clean from every screw up. If we should say that we don’t possess a malfunction, we are leading ourselves astray and Reality is not within us. If we should agree about our screw ups, He is trusted and right so that He would drop those screw ups for us and make us clean from every wrongdoing. If we should say that we hadn’t screwed up, we make Him a liar and His Logos isn’t within us.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you wouldn’t screw up. And if anyone should screw up, we have an Advocate facing the Father, Yeshua the Anointed who does what is right; and He is a mercy-seat about our screw ups, yet not about just ours but also about the whole universe’s. And with this we know by experience that we had experienced Him, if we should keep His commands. The guy saying that, “I had experienced Him” and not keeping His commands is a liar and Reality isn’t within this guy; yet the love of God is genuinely brought to completion within whoever would keep His logos, with this we know by experience that we are within Him. The person claiming to make his home within Him is obligated for himself to walk just like that One walked.
Dear ones, I’m writing, not a fresh command to you, but an old command which you had held from the start; the old command is the logos which you heard. I am again writing the fresh command to you, which is real, within Him and within you, because the darkness is passing to the side and the real Light is already shining. The person claiming to be within the Light and hating his brother is within the darkness up to this point. The person loving his brother makes his home within the light and there isn’t anything tripping up within him; yet the person hating his brother is within the darkness and is walking in the darkness and doesn’t know where he’s going, because the darkness blinded his eyes.
I am writing to you, little children, because the screw ups are dropped for you because of His name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you had known the One from the start. I am writing to you, teenagers, because you had been victorious over the good for nothing one. I wrote to you, little kids, because you had known the Father. I wrote to you, fathers, because you had known the One from the start. I wrote to you, teenagers, because you are strong and the Logos of God makes His home within you and you had been victorious over the good for nothing one.
Don’t love the illusion of the world neither the things within the illusion of the world. If anyone loves the illusion of the world, the love of the Father isn’t within him; because every single thing which is within the illusion of the world, the biological drive, and the desire of the eyes, and the false pretension from one’s living isn’t from the Father but is from the illusion of the world. And the illusion of the world is passing to the side as well as its drive, but the person doing the will of God makes his home into the eon.
Little children, it is the last hour, and just like you heard that one in opposition to the Anointed is coming, now also many in opposition to the Anointed have happened, from which we know by experience that is it the last hour. They came out from us but they weren’t from us; because if they were from us, they would have made their home with us; but so that they would be made visible that they aren’t all from us. And you hold the baptismal chrism1 from the Holy One and know everything. I didn’t write to you because you don’t know Reality, but because you know it and because every single lie is not from Reality. Who is a liar if not the person disowning that Yeshua is the Anointed at all? This person who disowns the Father and the Son is in opposition to the Anointed. Every single person who disowns the Son neither possesses the Father, the person agreeing with the Son also possesses the Father. What you yourselves heard from the start, let it make its home within you. If what you heard from the start should make its home within you, you also will make your home within the Son and within the Father. And this is the promise which He had promised us, the Life of the Eternal One.
I wrote these things to you about those leading you astray. And you, the baptismal chrism which you received from Him makes its home within you and you don’t have a use so that anyone should teach you, but like His chrism teaches you about everything and is real and is not a lie, and just like He taught you, make your home within Him.
And now, little children, make your home within Him, so that if He should be made visible we would possess the ability to speak openly, and we would not be disgraced away from Him at His arrival. If you know that He is right, you recognize that also every single person doing the right thing has been birthed from Him.
