Now this we have heard from Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

though I write it again as a new commandment, which is truth in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:

whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.

Let that therefore, which ye have heard from the beginning, abide in you: for if that, which ye heard from the beginning, remain in you, ye also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

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

In this we know his love, that He laid down his life for us: and we should be ready to lay down our lives for the brethren.

My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

If any one see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.
