Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him.

All that are born of God do no sin, for his seed abideth in them, and they cannot sin, because they be born of God.

We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.

Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren.

and whatsoever we ask, that we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.

Herein appeared the love of God to us ward, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we should live through him.

We love him, because he loved us first.

And it is the spirit that beareth witness, because the spirit is truth.

He that believeth in the son of God hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not God, maketh him a liar, because he doth not believe the witness that God hath testified of his son.
