that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And we write the same things to you, in order that our joy may be full.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we may say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My little children, I write these things to you, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you heard from the beginning may abide in you, you also are abiding in the Son, and in the Father.

And the unction which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one may teach you: but as his unction teaches you concerning all things, and it is true, and it is no lie, and as he has taught you, abide in him.

And now, little children, abide in him; in order that, if he may appear, we may have boldness, and not shrink with embarrassment from him in his presence.

If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he may be made manifest, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him?

because if our heart may condemn us, it is because God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.

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

and whatsoever we may ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things pleasing before him.

And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

Whosoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, in him God abides, and he in God.

In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.

For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:

I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those who believe on the name of the Son of God.

And this is the assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us as to whatsoever we may ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked from him.

If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.
