And this is the message which we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

And in this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.

but whosoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: in this we know that we are in Him.

Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but and old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.

Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

He who says that he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.

He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

Little children, it is the last hour; and, as ye heard that Anti-Christ is coming, even now many anti-christs have arisen; whence we know that it is the last hour.

And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye all know Him.

I did not write to you because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth.

And the Anointing which ye received from Him abideth in you, and ye have no need that anyone teach you; but as His Anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as He taught you, ye abide in Him.

And now, little children, abide in Him; that, if He shall be manifested, we may have confidence, and not be put away from Him with shame at His coming.

If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that does righteousness has been begotten of Him.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath given to us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knows us not, because it knew Him not.

Beloved, now are we children of God, and never yet was it manifested what we shall be. We know that, if He shall be manifested, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

And ye know that He was manifested, that He might take away sins; and in Him is no sin.

Little children, let no one deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not abides in death.

Every one that hates his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our heart before Him;

And he that keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit Whom He gave to us.

In this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ hath come in flesh is of God;

and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Anti-Christ, of which ye have heard that it is coming, and now it is in the world already.

We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears us not: from this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

He that loves not never knew God; because God is love.

No one has ever beheld God. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

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

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment; and he who fears is not made perfect in love.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do His commandments.

These things I wrote to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life.

and, if we know that He heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we asked of Him.

We know that every one who has been begotten of God sins not; but he who was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil one touches him not.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world is lying in the evil one.

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One: and we are in the True One??n His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.
