Οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς γράφω ταῦτα ἀλλ᾿ ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ |νουθετῶ[ν]|.
NET2 I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.
Counts describe the selected edition and book filter, not every textual tradition. An occurrence is a matching source word token; a verse may contain several occurrences. Pagination does not limit these totals.
Exact written-word searches retain accents and spelling. Greek lemma coverage is incomplete. OSHB includes Hebrew and Aramaic; its lemma identities retain prefixes and homograph qualifiers. For compound OSHB tokens, Strong’s lookup uses the source’s first lexical number, not every component.
A Strong’s number is a lexical index, not a definition. English words are not automatically mapped to Greek or Hebrew. Use the NET reference to read the English context; select an original word below to search its exact written form.

Οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς γράφω ταῦτα ἀλλ᾿ ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ |νουθετῶ[ν]|.
NET2 I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.
Εἴ τις δοκεῖ προφήτης εἶναι ἢ πνευματικός, ἐπιγινωσκέτω ἃ γράφω ὑμῖν ὅτι κυρίου ἐστὶν ἐντολή·
NET2 If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.
Διὰ τοῦτο ταῦτα ἀπὼν γράφω, ἵνα παρὼν μὴ ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι κατὰ τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἣν ὁ κύριος ἔδωκεν μοι εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν.
NET2 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive I may not have to deal harshly with you by using my authority—the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!
ἃ δὲ γράφω ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι.
NET2 I assure you that, before God, I am not lying about what I am writing to you!
Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου, ὅ ἐστιν σημεῖον ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιστολῇ· οὕτως γράφω.
NET2 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter.
Ταῦτα σοι γράφω ἐλπίζων ἐλθεῖν |πρὸς σὲ| ἐν τάχει·
NET2 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you
Ταύτην ἤδη, ἀγαπητοί, δευτέραν ὑμῖν γράφω ἐπιστολήν, ἐν αἷς διεγείρω ὑμῶν ἐν ὑπομνήσει τὴν εἰλικρινῆ διάνοιαν
NET2 Dear friends, this is already the second letter I have written you, in which I am trying to stir up your pure mind by way of reminder:
(Τεκνία μου, ταῦτα γράφω ὑμῖν ἵνα μὴ ἁμάρτητε.) καὶ ἐάν τις ἁμάρτῃ, παράκλητον ἔχομεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν δίκαιον·
NET2 (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 One,
Ἀγαπητοί, οὐκ ἐντολὴν καινὴν γράφω ὑμῖν ἀλλ᾿ ἐντολὴν παλαιὰν ἣν εἴχετε ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς· ἡ ἐντολὴ ἡ παλαιά ἐστιν ὁ λόγος ὃν ἠκούσατε.
NET2 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have already heard.
πάλιν ἐντολὴν καινὴν γράφω ὑμῖν, ὅ ἐστιν ἀληθὲς ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι ἡ σκοτία παράγεται καὶ τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινὸν ἤδη φαίνει.
NET2 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
γράφω ὑμῖν, πατέρες, ὅτι ἐγνώκατε τὸν ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς. γράφω ὑμῖν, νεανίσκοι, ὅτι νενικήκατε τὸν πονηρόν.
NET2 I am writing to you, fathers, that you have known him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, that you have conquered the evil one.
