Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is TRUE in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the TRUE light now shines.

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.

I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you through his name.

I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome evil. I write to you, children, because ye know the Father.

I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have know him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome evil.

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.

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

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.

He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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.

Because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love each other.

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.

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.

By this we know love, because that man laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

Because if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

and whatever we may ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do things pleasing in his sight.

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.

Ye are of God, little children, and ye have overcome them, because greater is he in you than he in the world.

They are of the world. Because of this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

Beloved, we should love each other. Because love is of God, and every man who loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

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

By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.

In this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us from his Spirit.

By this love has been fully perfected with us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just as that man is, we also are in this world.

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.

We love him, because he first loved us.

Because everything that has been begotten from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

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.

Because those who testify are three:

If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son.

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.
