If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we are deceived, and do not the truth:

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My little children, I write these to you, that ye sin not. And if any sin, we have an intercessor with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

He saying, I have known him, and not keeping his commands, is a liar, and in him is not the truth.

And he hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and knows not where he goes forward, for darkness has blinded his eyes.

Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For every thing which in the world, the eager desire of the flesh, and the eager desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

Who is a liar if not he denying that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, denying the Father and the Son.

And the anointing which ye received from him remains in you, and ye have no need that any teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is true, and is no lie, and as it taught you, ye shall remain in him.

And now, little children, remain in him; that, when he be manifested, we might have freedom of speech, that we be not shamed from him in his presence.

See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not.

Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Every one remaining in him sins not: every one sinning has not seen him, nor known him.

Every one born of God does not sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, for he has been born of God.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.

Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just.

Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you.

We know that we have passed from death to life, for we love the brethren. He not loving the brother remains in death.

And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?

My little children, we should not love in word, neither in tongue; but in work and truth.

Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God: for many false prophets have come out into the world.

And every spirit which acknowledges not Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that of antichrist which ye have heard comes; and now is already in the world.

We are of God: he knowing God hears us; he is not of God who hears us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

He not loving knows not God; for God is love.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

Fear is not in love; but perfected love casts out fear: for fear has restraint. And he fearing has not been perfected in love.

If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love?

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy.

Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth.

He believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he not believing God has made him a liar; for he has not believed the testimony which God has testified of his Son.

He having the Son has life; and he not having the Son of God has not life.

If any see his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and sinning will give him life to them sinning not to death. There is a sin to death: I say not of that, that he should ask.

All injustice is sin: and there is a sin not to death.

We know that every one born of God sins not; but he born of God keeps himself, and evil touches him not.
