And this is the promise which we have heard from him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and that darkness in him there is none.

If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and practise not the truth:

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

And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and in him the truth is not.

But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.

He who saith that he abideth in him, ought as he walked, even so himself to walk.

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is a true thing in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light is now shining.

He that loveth his brother is in the light, and occasion of stumbling in him there is none.

I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

But the unction which ye have received from him abideth in you; and ye need not that any person should instruct you. But as the same unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, abide in him.

And now, my dear children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be put to shame by him at his coming.

If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is born of him.

BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet evident what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

And every one who hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

And ye know that he was manifested, that he might take away our sins; and in him there is no sin.

Every one who abideth in him, doth not sin; every one who sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.

Every one who is born of God, doth not practise sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother: and wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.

Every one who hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath life eternal abiding in him.

But whosoever hath worldly abundance, and seeth his brother under necessity, and shutteth his bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight.

And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and by this we know that he abideth in us, from the Spirit which he hath given us.

By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him.

By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own Spirit.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.

We love him, because he first loved us.

So this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.

EVERY one who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son.

And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatsoever we ask according to his will, he heareth us.

And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have requested, from him.

If any person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for that.

We know that every one who is born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God preserveth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

But we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal.
