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

I write to you, my children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his names sake.

And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

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

As for you, let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Whoever committeth sin transgresseth thereby the law; for sin is a transgression of the law.

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

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

Herein we know love, in that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God;

he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love.

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

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
