That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled of the word of life:

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

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

Beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but the old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

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

My beloved children, let us love not in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

And there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one.
