but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

My little children, these things I write to you that you may not sin. But if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous,

and he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but for all the world.

but whoever keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

Beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you heard.

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

for all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passes away, and its desires; but he that does the will of God continues for ever.

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

And the anointing which you received from him continues in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; but as his anointing teaches you of all things, and is true and is not a lie, even as it has taught you, continue in him.

My little children, let us not love in word nor tongue, but in work and truth.

BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

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

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has pain; and he that is afraid is not made perfect in love.

Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus, the Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood; and the Spirit is that which testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.

We know that every one who has been born of God does not sin, but he that has been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
