If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth.

I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

But the anointing which you have received from him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in him.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
