Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to
rescue the godly from trials
and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the
lust of uncleanness,
and despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of
dignities.
Such punishment is specially reserved for those who
indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh
and despise authority. Bold
and self-willed, they are unafraid to
slander glorious beings.
Whereas angels, which are greater in power
and might, bring not railing
accusation against them before the Lord.
Yet not even angels, though greater in strength
and power,
dare to bring such
slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
But these, as natural
brute beasts, made to be taken
and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
These men are like
irrational animals, creatures of
instinct, born to be captured
and destroyed. They
blaspheme in matters they do not understand,
and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to
riot in the
daytime. Spots they are
and blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Having eyes full of
adultery,
and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with
covetous practices;
cursed children:
Their eyes are full of
adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they
seduce the unstable. They are
accursed children with hearts trained in
greed.
Which have
forsaken the right way,
and are gone
astray, following the way of
Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
They have left the straight way
and wandered off to follow the way of
Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
But was
rebuked for his iniquity: the
dumb ass speaking with man’s voice
forbad the madness of the prophet.
But he was
rebuked for his
transgression by a
donkey, otherwise without speech, that spoke with a man’s voice
and restrained the prophet’s madness.
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the
mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much
wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the
sensual passions of the flesh
and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again
entangled therein,
and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be
entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true
proverb, The dog is turned to his own
vomit again;
and the
sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the
mire.
Of them the
proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its
vomit,”
and, “A
sow that is washed goes back to her
wallowing in the mud.”
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
by recalling what was
foretold by the holy prophets
and commanded by our Lord
and Savior through your apostles.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come,
scoffing and following their own evil desires.
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell
asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
“Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell
asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.”
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
But they
deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed
and the earth was formed out of water
and by water,
But the heavens
and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men.
And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
But the day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall
melt with
fervent heat, the earth also
and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
But the Day of the Lord will come like a
thief. The heavens will disappear with a
roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire,
and the earth
and its works will be laid bare.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation
and godliness,
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct
yourselves in
holiness and godliness Looking for
and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall
melt with
fervent heat?
as you
anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire
and the elements will
melt in the heat.
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless.
Therefore, beloved, as you
anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace—spotless
and blameless in His sight.
And account that the
longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
Consider also that our Lord’s
patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned
and unstable
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant
and unstable people
distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own
stedfastness.
Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.
But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now
and for ever.
Amen.
But grow in the grace
and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now
and to the day of
eternity.
Amen.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have
gazed upon
and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.
(For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it,
and bear witness,
and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father,
and was manifested unto us;)
And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it
and testified to it,
and we
proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father
and was revealed to us.
That which we have seen
and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have
fellowship with us:
and truly our
fellowship is with the Father,
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
We
proclaim to you what we have seen
and heard, so that you also may have
fellowship with us.
And this
fellowship of ours is with the Father
and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
And this is the message we have heard from Him
and announce to you: God is light,
and in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have
fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness, we lie,
and do not the truth:
If we say we have
fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie
and do not practice the truth.
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 cleanseth us from all sin.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.
If we say we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.
If we
confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to
forgive us our sins,
and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we
confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to
forgive us our sins
and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not
sinned, we make him a
liar,
and his word is not in us.
If we say we have not
sinned, we make Him out to be a
liar,
and His word is not in us.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if
anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
And he is the
propitiation for our sins:
and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
He Himself is the
atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
He that saith, I know him,
and keepeth not his commandments, is a
liar,
and the truth is not in him.
If
anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a
liar,
and the truth is not in him.
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him
and also in you. For the darkness is
fading and the true light is already
shining.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
If
anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light,
and there is none occasion of
stumbling in him.
Whoever loves his brother remains in the light,
and there is no cause of
stumbling in him.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness,
and walketh in darkness,
and knoweth not
whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
But
whoever hates his brother is in the darkness
and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
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.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
And the world passeth away,
and the
lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
The world is passing away, along with its desires; but
whoever does the will of God remains
forever.
Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Children, it is the last hour;
and just as you have heard that the
antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.
But ye have an
unction from the Holy One,
and ye know all things.
You, however, have an
anointing from the Holy One,
and all of you know the truth.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
Who is a
liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father
and the Son.
Who is the
liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the
antichrist, who denies the Father
and the Son.
Let that therefore
abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son,
and in the Father.
As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.
But the
anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same
anointing teacheth you of all things,
and is truth,
and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him.
And as for you, the
anointing you received from Him remains in you,
and you do not need
anyone to teach you. But just as His true
and genuine
anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
And now, little children,
abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence,
and not be
ashamed before him at his coming.
And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be
confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God,
and it
doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on
sinning, because he has been born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil:
Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is
anyone who does not love his brother.
Not as
Cain, who was of that wicked one,
and slew his brother.
And wherefore
slew he him? Because his own works were evil,
and his brother’s righteous.
Do not be like
Cain, who belonged to the evil one
and murdered his brother.
And why did
Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life
abiding in him.
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer,
and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
But
whoso hath this world’s good,
and seeth his brother have need,
and shutteth up his
bowels of
compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
If
anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his
compassion from him, how can the love of God
abide in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth,
and shall
assure our hearts before him.
And by this we will know that we belong to the truth,
and will
assure our hearts in His presence:
For if our heart
condemn us, God is greater than our heart,
and knoweth all things.
Even if our hearts
condemn us, God is greater than our hearts,
and He knows all things.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments,
and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
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.
And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him,
and he in him.
And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God,
and God in him.
And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of
antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world.
and every spirit that does not
confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the
antichrist, which you have heard is coming
and which is already in the world at this time.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s
perspective,
and the world listens to them.
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.
We are from God.
Whoever knows God listens to us;
whoever is not from God does not
listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth
and the spirit of
deception.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God
and knows God.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins.
And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us
and sent His Son as the
atoning sacrifice for our sins.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.
Hereby know we that we dwell in him,
and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.
And we have seen
and do
testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
And we have seen
and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the
Savior of the world.
Whosoever shall
confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him,
and he in God.
If
anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him,
and he in God.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
And we have come to know
and believe the love that God has for us. God is love;
whoever abides in love abides in God,
and God in him.
If a man say, I love God,
and hateth his brother, he is a
liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
If
anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a
liar. For
anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
And we have this commandment from Him:
Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
and every one that loveth him that
begat loveth him also that is
begotten of him.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God,
and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not
grievous.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.
And His commandments are not
burdensome,
For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
because
everyone born of God overcomes the world.
And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
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 beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Whoever has the Son has life;
whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
And if we know that he hear us,
whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
If
anyone sees his brother
committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.
