THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life;

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

But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.

Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

My dear children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth;

For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one.
