(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and testify, and show to you that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to 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 to 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 from the Father, but is from the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust of it: 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 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 sons of God, and it doth 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.

Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the 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.

Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

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

By this we perceive 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 condemneth us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

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.

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.

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