(for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

and he himself is the propitiatory victim for our sins: and indeed not for ours only, but for the whole world.

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they departed, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us:

Every one who committeth sin, committeth also a transgression of the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

he that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sinneth. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

For this is the commandment which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

By this we have known the love [of Christ], because for us he laid down his own life: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

For should our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

He that loveth not, never knew God; for God is love.

Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.

Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love.
