Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true Light now shines.

But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes.

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

I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.

I write to you, fathers, because you have known 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.

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 you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

not as Cain who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. And for what did he kill him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's things were righteous.

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

By this we have known the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.

By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love.

We love Him because He first loved us.

This is He who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by the water and blood. And the Spirit is He who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself. He who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he does not believe the record that God gave of His Son.
