And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

Again, I write a new command to you, which is true in him and in you: for the darkness is passed away, and the true light already shines.

And he hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and knows not where he goes forward, for darkness has blinded his eyes.

I write to you, little children, for your sins are let go for his name.

I write to you, fathers, for ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, for ye have conquered the evil. I write to you, young children, for ye have known the Father.

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.

For every thing which in the world, the eager desire of the flesh, and the eager desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

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

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

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.

Every one doing sin also does lawlessness; for sin is lawlessness.

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.

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

Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just.

We know that we have passed from death to life, for we love the brethren. He not loving the brother remains in death.

In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.

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

And whatever we ask, we receive of him, for we keep his commands, and do things pleasing before him.

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.

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

They are of the world: for this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

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

In this we know that we remain in him, and he in us, for he has given us of his Spirit.

In this has love been completed with us, that we might have freedom of speech in the day of judgment: for as he is, so are we in this world.
