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.

And this is the promise which he hath promised us, eternal life.

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

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning: to this end the son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil.

For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we love one another.

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 this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

And every spirit which confesseth not Jesus Christ come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and now already it is in the world.

Hereby is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.

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

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.

For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

This is he that came by water and blood; even Jesus Christ; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and it is the Spirit who testifieth; because the Spirit is truth.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; and this is the testimony of God, which he hath testified of his Son.

And this is the testimony, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in 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.

But we know that the Son of God is come; and he hath given us an understanding that we may know the true one; and we are in the true one, even in his Son Jesus Christ; this is the true God and eternal life.
