And this is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.

But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is fully perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

He who claims to abide in him he also ought so to walk just as that man walked.

Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is TRUE in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the TRUE light now shines.

He who loves his brother abides in the light, and no cause of stumbling is in him.

I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome evil. I write to you, children, because ye know the Father.

I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have know him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome evil.

Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And for you, the anointing that ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is TRUE and is no lie, and just as it taught you, ye will a

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.

If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every man doing righteousness has been begotten of him.

Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God. Because of this the world does not know you, because it did not know him.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

And every man who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that man is pure.

And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.

Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.

Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right.

Every man hating his brother is a man-killer. And ye know that no man-killer has eternal life abiding in him.

But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him.

and whatever we may ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do things pleasing in his sight.

And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit that he gave us.

By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.

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

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

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

We love him, because he first loved us.

And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.

Every man who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and every man who loves him who begot, also loves him who has been begotten from him.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.

If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.

We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.
