what we have seen and heard
we also declare to you,
so that you may have fellowship along with us;
and indeed our fellowship is with the Father
and with His Son Jesus Christ.

And He is Himself the atoning sacrifice for our sins; and not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.

Dear children, let us stop loving with words or lips alone, but let us love with actions and in truth.

This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth.
