But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes.

Everyone who denies the Son neither has the Father. The one confessing the Son also has the Father.

And this is the promise that He has promised us: everlasting life.

But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him.

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does righteousness has been born of Him.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

And everyone who has this hope on him purifies himself, even as that One is pure.

Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.

Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

Everyone hating his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has everlasting life abiding in him.

But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?

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

and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the antichrist you heard is coming, and even now is already in the world.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

The one who does not love has not known God. For God is love.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

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

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love.

If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if he does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. And everyone who loves Him who begets also loves him who has been born of Him.

For everything that has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes 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 testified about His Son.

He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself. He who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he does not believe the record that God gave of His Son.

And this is the record, that God has given to us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son.

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

We know that everyone who has been born of God does not continue to sin, but the one born of God guards himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the everlasting life.
