but, if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with One another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous 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 whole world.

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

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

He who says that he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the 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 the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he is going, because the darkness blinded his eyes.

because all that is in the world??he desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the vain-glory of life??s not of the Father, but is of the world.

Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Anti-Christ, he that denies the Father and the Son.

Every one who denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.

And this is the promise which He Himself promised us, the eternal life.

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.

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.

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

He that commits sin is of the Devil; because the Devil sins from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil.

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.

In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil: every one that does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that does not love his brother;

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.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not abides in death.

In this we have known the love, that He laid down His soul in our behalf; and we ought to lay down our souls in behalf of the brethren.

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?

And this is the commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

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.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He Who 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 us not: from this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

He that loves not never knew God; because God is love.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son, to be a propitiation for our sins.

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.

In this has love been made perfect with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, even so are we in this world.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment; and he who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love, because He first loved us.

If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God Whom he has not seen.

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

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

This is He Who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood.

And the Spirit is He Who beareth witness, because the Spirit is the Truth:

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; because this is the testimony of God, that He hath testified concerning 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 has not believed in the testimony that God testified concerning His Son.

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

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.
