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

But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is fully perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

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.

And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides into the age.

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.

By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.

But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

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

Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God,

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.

By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in flesh is of God,

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, which ye have heard that it comes, and is now in the world already.

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

We are of God. He who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

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 is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.

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.

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

And we know, and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

If any man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.

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.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

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

And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

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

He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

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.

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

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