This is the message that we heard from him and announce to you: God is light; there is no darkness in him at all.

If we say, "We are without any sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and there is no truth in our hearts.

Whoever says, "I know him," but does not obey his commands, is a liar, and there is no truth in his heart;

Do not love the world or what is in the world. If anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in his heart,

for all that there is in the world, the things that our physical nature and our eyes crave, and the proud display of life??hese do not come from the Father, but from the world;

You know that he appeared to take our sins away, and that there is no sin in him.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. For fear suggests punishment and no one who feels fear has attained perfect love.

For who is there that is victorious over the world except the man who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

For there are three that testify to it,

If anyone sees his brother committing any sin except a deadly one, he will ask and obtain life for him??rovided the sin is not a deadly one. There is such a thing as deadly sin; I do not say that a man should pray about that.

Any wrongdoing is sin, but there are sins that are not deadly.
