and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.

if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.

See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

every one who is remaining in him doth not sin; every one who is sinning, hath not seen him, nor known him.

every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten.

Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;

Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining,

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

And we -- we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son -- Saviour of the world;

and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world;

fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

if any one may say -- 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God -- the life he hath not.

We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!
