Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.

But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

I write to you, children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

because 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.

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

See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.

Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down our lives.

and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Ye are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

We love because he has first loved us.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.
