And this is the message which we have heard from him, and we announce to you, that God is light, and no darkness is in him.

Whoever should keep his word, truly in him has the word of God been completed: in this we know that we are in him.

I wrote to you, fathers, for ye have known him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, for ye are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and ye have conquered the evil.

And the world passes away, and its eager desires: but he doing the will of God remains for ever.

See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not.

Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

He doing sin is of the accuser; for the accuser sins from the beginning. For this was the Son of God manifested, that he might loose the works of the accuser.

Every one born of God does not sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, for he has been born of God.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.

And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?

For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God: for many false prophets have come out into the world.

In this ye know the spirit of God: Every spirit which acknowledges Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is of God:

And every spirit which acknowledges not Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that of antichrist which ye have heard comes; and now is already in the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have conquered them: for greater is he in you, than he in the world.

We are of God: he knowing God hears us; he is not of God who hears us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Dearly beloved, we should love one another: for love is of God; and every one loving has been born of God, and knows God.

He not loving knows not God; for God is love.

In this was the love of God manifested in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world, that we might live by him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

None has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is completed in us.

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he remaining in love remains in God, and God in him.

If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love?

And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving him having begotten, loves him also begotten of him.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commands.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy.

For everything begotten of God conquers the world: and this is the victory having conquered the world, our faith.

Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he has testified concerning his Son.

He believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he not believing God has made him a liar; for he has not believed the testimony which God has testified of his Son.

And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He having the Son has life; and he not having the Son of God has not life.

These I wrote to you believing in the name of the Son of God; ye might know that ye have etrnal life, and that ye might believe in the name of the Son of God.

We know that every one born of God sins not; but he born of God keeps himself, and evil touches him not.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in evil.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, and we know him true, and we are in him true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
