(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

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

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

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride 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 no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

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

Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his nature remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

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

By this perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God.

He that loves not 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 to be the propitiation for our sins.

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has to do with punishment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
