that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;

and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

if we may say -- 'we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth;

and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

if we may say -- 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

if we may say -- 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.

My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

and ye have known that he was manifested that our sins he may take away, and sin is not in him;

he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;

and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?

My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;

In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world;

if any one may say -- 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!
