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

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.

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

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

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

He who claims to be in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.

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

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and he goes about in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides into the age.

Who is the liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

And this is the promise that he promised us: the eternal life.

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.

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

Little children, let no man lead you astray. He who is doing righteousness is righteous, just as that man is righteous.

He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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.

By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.

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.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.

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 this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.

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.

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

We are of God. He who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

He who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.

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.

Fear is not in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who is afraid has not been fully perfected in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If any man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

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

And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.

If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son.

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.

He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

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.
