My little children,... I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin,... we have an advocate with the Father,... Jesus Christ the righteous. 2). He is the propitiation for our sins,... and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 3). And by this we know that we have come to know him,... if we keep his commandments. 4). Whoever says I know him but does not keep his commandments is a liar,... and the truth is not in him,... 5). but whoever keeps his word,... in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6). whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. The New Commandment 7). Beloved,... I am writing you no new commandment,... but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8). At the same time,... it is a new commandment that I am writing to you,... which is true in him and in you,... becausethe darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9). Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 10). Whoever loves his brother abides in the light,... and in him there is no cause for stumbling. 11). But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness,... and does not know where he is going,... because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 12). I am writing to you,... little children,... because your sins are forgiven for his names sake. 13). I am writing to you,... fathers,... because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you,... young men,... because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you,... children,... because you know the Father. 14). I write to you,... fathers,... because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you,... young men,... because you are strong,... and the word of God abides in you,... and you have overcome the evil one. Do Not Love the World 15). 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. 16). For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world. 17). And the world is passing away along with its desires,... but whoever does the will of God abides forever. Warning Concerning Antichrists 18). Children,... it is the last hour,... and as you have heard that antichrist is coming,... so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19). They went out from us,... but they were not of us; for if they had been of us,... they would have continued with us. But they went out,... that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20). But you have been anointed by the Holy One,... and you all have knowledge. 21). I write to you,... not because you do not know the truth,... but because you know it,... and because no lie is of the truth. 22). Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist,... he who denies the Father and the Son. 23). No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24). 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. 25). And this is the promise that he made to us--eternal life. 26). I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27). 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. Children of God 28). 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. 29). If you know that he is righteous,... you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. 2 Chronicles 35:1-27 Josiah Keeps the Passover 1). Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem. And they slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2). He appointed the priests to their offices and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD. 3). And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the LORD,... Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David,... king of Israel,... built. You need not carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel. 4). Prepare yourselves according to your fathers houses by your divisions,... as prescribed in the writing of David king of Israel and the document of Solomon his son. 5). And stand in the Holy Place according to the groupings of the fathers houses of your brothers the lay people,... and according to the division of the Levites by fathers household. 6). And slaughter the Passover lamb,... and consecrate yourselves,... and prepare for your brothers,... to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses. 7). Then Josiah contributed to the lay people,... as Passover offerings for all who were present,... lambs and young goats from the flock to the number of 30,000,... and 3,000 bulls; these were from the kings possessions. 8). And his officials contributed willingly to the people,... to the priests,... and to the Levites. Hilkiah,... Zechariah,... and Jehiel,... the chief officers of the house of God,... gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 Passover lambs and 300 bulls. 9). Conaniah also,... and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers,... and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad,... the chiefs of the Levites,... gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings 5,000 lambs and young goats and 500 bulls. 10). When the service had been prepared for,... the priests stood in their place,... and the Levites in their divisions according to the kings command. 11). And they slaughtered the Passover lamb,... and the priests threw the blood that they received from them while the Levites flayed the sacrifices. 12). And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers houses of the lay people,... to offer to the LORD,... as it is written in the Book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls. 13). And they roasted the Passover lamb with fire according to the rule; and they boiled the holy offerings in pots,... in cauldrons,... and in pans,... and carried them quickly to all the lay people. 14). And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests,... because the priests,... the sons of Aaron,... were offering the burnt offerings and the fat parts until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests,... the sons of Aaron. 15). The singers,... the sons of Asaph,... were in their place according to the command of David,... and Asaph,... and Heman,... and Jeduthun the kings seer; and the gatekeepers were at each gate. They did not need to depart from their service,... for their brothers the Levites prepared for them. 16). So all the service of the LORD was prepared that day,... to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD,... according to the command of King Josiah. 17). And the people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time,... and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days. 18). No Passover like it had been kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as was kept by Josiah,... and the priests and the Levites,... and all Judah and Israel who were present,... and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19). In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept. Josiah Killed in Battle 20). After all this,... when Josiah had prepared the temple,... Neco king of Egypt went up to fight at Carchemish on the Euphrates,... and Josiah went out to meet him. 21). But he sent envoys to him,... saying,... What have we to do with each other,... king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day,... but against the house with which I am at war. And God has commanded me to hurry. Cease opposing God,... who is with me,... lest he destroy you. 22). Nevertheless,... Josiah did not turn away from him,... but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God,... but came to fight in the plain of Megiddo. 23). And the archers shot King Josiah. And the king said to his servants,... Take me away,... for I am badly wounded. 24). So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. 25). Jeremiah also uttered a lament for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women have spoken of Josiah in their laments to this day. They made these a rule in Israel; behold,... they are written in the Laments. 26). Now the rest of the acts of Josiah,... and his good deeds according to what is written in the Law of the LORD,... 27). and his acts,... first and last,... behold,... they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. Psalm 89:38-52 38). But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed. 39). You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust. 40). You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins. 41). All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. 42). You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. 43). You have also turned back the edge of his sword,... and you have not made him stand in battle. 44). You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground. 45). You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah 46). How long,... O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? 47). Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man! 48). What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah 49). Lord,... where is your steadfast love of old,... which by your faithfulness you swore to David? 50). Remember,... O Lord,... how your servants are mocked,... and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,... 51). with which your enemies mock,... O LORD,... with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed. 52). Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
