And this is the message which we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and are walking in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth;

If we say, "We have not sinned," we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

And in this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.

He who says, "I have known Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

but whosoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: in this we know that we are in Him.

He who says that he is abiding in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.

Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

I write to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have conquered the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have conquered the evil one.

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

And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye all know Him.

And the Anointing which ye received from Him abideth in you, and ye have no need that anyone teach you; but as His Anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as He taught you, ye abide in Him.

And now, little children, abide in Him; that, if He shall be manifested, we may have confidence, and not be put away from Him with shame at His coming.

If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that does righteousness has been begotten of Him.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath given to us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knows us not, because it knew Him not.

Beloved, now are we children of God, and never yet was it manifested what we shall be. We know that, if He shall be manifested, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

And every one that has this hope on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

And ye know that He was manifested, that He might take away sins; and in Him is no sin.

Every one that is abiding in Him sins not; whosoever sins has not seen Him nor known Him.

Whosoever has been begotten of God sins not; because His seed abides in him, and he cannot sin because he has been begotten of God.

not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Every one that hates his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

But whosoever possesses the goods of the world, and beholds his brother having need, and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

Hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our heart before Him;

and whatsoever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments, and do the things that are pleasing before Him.

And he that keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit Whom He gave to us.

In this was manifested the love of God in us, that God hath sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through Him.

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

Whosoever confesses 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 in us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abideth in him.

And this commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God loves his brother also.

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God; and every one who loves Him Who begat loves him also that has been begotten of Him.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that believes not God has made Him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony that God testified concerning His Son.

And this is the confidence which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us;

and, if we know that He heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we asked of Him.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall make request concerning this.

We know that every one who has been begotten of God sins not; but he who was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil one touches him not.
