What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

(and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And this is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, 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 things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--righteous Jesus Christ.

I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you through his name.

I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome evil. I write to you, children, because ye know the Father.

I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have know him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome evil.

Children, it is the last hour. And as ye heard that the antichrist comes, and now many antichrists have developed, from which we know that it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but--so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.

And ye have an anointing from the Holy, and ye know all the things.

Every man who denies the Son, also does not have the Father.

And for you, the anointing that ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is TRUE and is no lie, and just as it taught you, ye will a

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.

Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God,

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but examine the spirits, whether they are of God, because many FALSE prophets have gone out into the world.

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, which ye have heard that it comes, and is now in the world already.

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

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.

And we know, and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

By this love has been fully perfected with us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just as that man is, we also are in this world.

And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.

He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
