My dear children, these things I write unto you, that ye may avoid sin. but if any man has failed, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the just.

but he that observes his precepts, loves God with a true and perfect love: 'tis by this we know that we are truly christians.

however, it is really, in effect, a new commandment I write unto you, with respect to you: because the darkness is past, and things now appear in their true light.

I write to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven you upon the account of Christ.

Dear children, the last time is come: as ye have heard that antichrist was to come, accordingly many antichrists have already appeared; whereby we know that we are now in the last times.

but as the unction which ye have received from him, abides in you, you don't need any instruction: being then fully instructed by his unction, which is true and not fallacious, adhere to what that has taught you.

adhere to that, my dear children, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

dear children, let no man deceive you: only he that acts justly is just, as he is just.

my dear children, let not our love be only in the language of our lips, but in the real effects of the heart.

Hereby we shall know that we are true professors, and set our consciences securely at rest.

ye are of God, my dear children, and you have overcome them: because he that is in you, is superior to him that is in the world.

for he that is a true christian, overcomes the world: by obtaining faith, we have gain'd a victory over the world.

we know that a true christian will not commit such a sin, for he that is the child of God keeps upon his guard, so that the wicked spirit does not approach him.

We know that the son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding to know him that is true: and we are with him that is true, by his son Jesus Christ. "he is the true God, who is the author of eternal life."

dear children, keep yourselves from idols. AMEN.
