What was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we beheld, and our own hands felt, concerning the word of life;

(And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and we testify, and announce to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

What we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also might have communion with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not.

Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Every one remaining in him sins not: every one sinning has not seen him, nor known him.

Every one born of God does not sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, for he has been born of God.

And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?

None has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is completed in us.

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

If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love?

If any see his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and sinning will give him life to them sinning not to death. There is a sin to death: I say not of that, that he should ask.
