(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)

But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.

And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal.

and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.

See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.

Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.

He that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.

Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down our lives.

And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment.

And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us.

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.

Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given to us of his Spirit.

And we have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son as Saviour of the world.

And we have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as he is, we also are in this world.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

We love because he has first loved us.

If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which he has witnessed concerning his Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.

And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.

We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
