that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

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.

My little children, I write this to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

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

And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

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

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
