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

And these things we write to you, that your joy may be complete.

My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. Yet if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Just One.

And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be put to shame by him, at his coming.

Do not wonder, my brethren, that the world hates you.

My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue; but in deed, and in truth.

By this, the love has been perfected in us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.

These things I have written to you, that you may know that you have eternal life-that you may continue to believe on the name of the Son of God.
