If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--righteous Jesus Christ.

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

He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and he goes about in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Because everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the arrogance of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but--so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.

I wrote to you not because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

Who is the liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

Every man who denies the Son, also does not have the Father.

And for you, the anointing that ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is TRUE and is no lie, and just as it taught you, ye will a

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.

Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God. Because of this the world does not know you, because it did not know him.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.

Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.

Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right.

Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hates you.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.

But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

My Little children, we should not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God,

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but examine the spirits, whether they are of God, because many FALSE prophets have gone out into the world.

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, which ye have heard that it comes, and is now in the world already.

We are of God. He who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

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

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.

Fear is not in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who is afraid has not been fully perfected in love.

If any man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son.

He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.

All unrighteousness is sin. And there is sin not toward death.

We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.
