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

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

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

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

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because darkness hath blinded his eyes.

And the world passeth away, and the lust of it: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

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

Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

And this is the promise that he hath 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 ye know that he is righteous ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth 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 hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

And ye 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 doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

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

Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth 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: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

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

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.

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

But he who hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth 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 keepeth his commandments, dwelleth in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Ye 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 knoweth God, heareth us; he that is not of God, heareth not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

He that loveth not, knoweth 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 hath given us of his Spirit.

Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love: and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth 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 casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth, is not made perfect in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man sayeth, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

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

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 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 beareth testimony, because the Spirit is truth.

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

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son.

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

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

And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.

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

We know that whoever is born of God, sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
