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

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

If we say, we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

He that faith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoso keepeth his word, verily in him the love of God is perfected: hereby we know that we are in him.

He that saith, he abideth in him, ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Again, I do write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you: for the darkness is past away, and the true light now shineth.

He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

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 abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world: if any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any should teach you, save as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in them.

And now, beloved children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

If ye know, that he is righteous, ye know that every one who doth righteousness is born of him.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

And every one that hath this hope in him, purifieth himself even as he is pure.

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him is no sin.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not; whosoever sinneth, seeth him not, neither knoweth him.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed abideth in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murtherer, and ye know that no murtherer hath eternal life abiding in him.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him: and hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Hereby was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Hereby we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Whosoever shall confess, that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

And we know and believe the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

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

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten of him.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself. He that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the testimony which he hath testified of his Son.

And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.

And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we asked of him.

If any one see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, let him ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not unto death.

but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not. We know, that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one.
