(for this Life was manifested, and we saw it; and we testify and declare unto you that eternal Life, which was with the Father,

and was manifested unto us) what we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have communion with us: and our communion is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And ye know that He was manifested, to take away our sins: and in Him there is no sin.

he, that makes a practise of sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. And for this the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

In this was the love of God manifested towards us, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
