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

Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: [but] he that confesses the Son has the Father also.

And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.

But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.

Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.

And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.

Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?

And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has to do with punishment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he believes not the witness that God gave of his Son.

And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

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

And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
