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

If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every man doing righteousness has been begotten of him.

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.

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

No man has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and his love is in us, having been fully perfected.

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.

Every man who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and every man who loves him who begot, also loves him who has been begotten from him.

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

We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.
