But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

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

He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.

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

But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.

And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever.

Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.

Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: [but] he that confesses the Son has the Father also.

And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone that does righteousness is born of him.

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

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

And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his nature remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.

By this perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

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

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.

In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has to do with punishment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

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

Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son.

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 believes not the witness that God gave of his Son.

He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.

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

And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we desired of him.

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.
