And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.

They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.

Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.

For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
