And this is the message which we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

but whosoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: in this we know that we are in Him.

I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have conquered the evil one.

And the world is passing away, and the desire thereof; but be that does the will of God abides forever.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath given to us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knows us not, because it knew Him not.

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.

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;

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?

because, if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God;

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

In this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ hath come in flesh is of God;

and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Anti-Christ, of which ye have heard that it is coming, and now it is in the world already.

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.

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

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

In this was manifested the love of God in us, that God hath sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through Him.

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

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever beheld God. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

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.

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.

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God; and every one who loves Him Who begat loves him also that has been begotten of Him.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do His commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome;

because all that has been begotten of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

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

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.

And this is the testimony, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

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

These things I wrote to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life.

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.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world is lying in the evil one.

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One: and we are in the True One??n His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.
