(for this Life was manifested, and we saw it; and we testify and declare unto you that eternal Life, which was with the Father,

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 for his sake your sins are forgiven you:

Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world; for if any one love the world to excess, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever.

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

for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.

Let that therefore, which ye have heard from the beginning, abide in you: for if that, which ye heard from the beginning, remain in you, ye also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

Behold then what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: though for this reason the world knoweth us not, because it knew not Him.

Beloved, we are now the children of God, but it doth not yet appear what we shall be: we know however, that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

Every one that committeth sin, transgresseth the law; for sin is the violation of the law.

he, that makes a practise of sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. And for this the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

for this is the injunction which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother;

In this we know his love, that He laid down his life for us: and we should be ready to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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

Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the spirits, whether they be of God: for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

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

He, that loveth not, knoweth not 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.

And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us: for God is love; and he, that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Herein is love perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; for as He is, we also are in this world.

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