And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;

and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life the age-during.

See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,

and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

They -- of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;

we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world;

and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world -- our faith;

This one is he who did come through water and blood -- Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son;

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!
