and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us;

but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

But the one hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and does not know whither he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.

And the unction which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one may teach you: but as his unction teaches you concerning all things, and it is true, and it is no lie, and as he has taught you, abide in him.

If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

Every one hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself.

And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.

In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit.

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

And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him.

In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love.

If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.

Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.

And this is the testimony, that God has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.

We know that every one who has been born of God, sins not; but the one having been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life.
