| He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. | He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. |
| Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. | Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
|
| For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. | For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. |
| The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. | And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. |
| No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. | No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. |
| As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. | Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. |
| As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him. | But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. |
| And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. | And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. |
