If we say that we have fellowship with him, and yet walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and truth is not in us.

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

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye should sin not: if, though, any man sin, yet we have an Advocate with the father, even Jesus Christ, which is righteous.

And he it is that obtaineth grace for our sins; and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of all the world.

He that saith, "I know him," and yet keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the verity is not in him.

And he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and knoweth not whither he goeth, for darkness hath blinded his eyes.

See that ye love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him.

For all that is in the world - as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of goods - are not of the father: but of the world.

They went out of us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. But that fortuned, that it might appear that they were not of us.

I wrote not unto you, as though ye knew not the truth: but as unto them them that know it, and know also how that no lie cometh of truth.

Whosoever denieth the son, the same hath not the father.

And the anointing which ye have received of him dwelleth in you. And ye need not that any man teach you: but as the anointing teacheth you all things, and is true, and is no lie: and as it taught you, even so bide therein.

And now babes, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence and not be made ashamed of him at his coming.

Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him.

Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, and yet it doth not appear what we shall be. But we know that when it shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is.

All that abide in him, sin not: And all that sin hath not seen him, neither hath known him.

And hereby are the sons of God known, and also the sons of the devil. All that work not righteousness, are not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.

and not be as Cain, which was of the devil and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? For his own deeds were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Marvel not, my brethren, though the world hate you.

We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.

He, then, that hath the substance of the world, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth:

Dearly beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we trust to God ward;

Ye beloved, believe not every spirit: but prove the spirits whether they be of God, or not: for many false prophets are gone out in to the world.

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God. And the same is that spirit of antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come: and even now already is he in the world.

We be of God, and he that knoweth God heareth us: and he that is not of God, heareth us not. And hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

And he that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to make a satisfaction for our sins.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out all fear, for fear hath painfulness. He therefore that feareth is not perfect in love.

If a man say, "I love God," and yet hate his brother, he is a liar. For how can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen?

This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.

This Jesus Christ is he that came by water and blood, not by water only: but by water and blood.

He that believeth in the son of God hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not God, maketh him a liar, because he doth not believe the witness that God hath testified of his son.

He that hath the son, hath life: and he that hath not the son of God, hath not life.

If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not to death, let him ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death, for which say I not that a man should pray.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not to death.

We know that all that are born of God, sin not: but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and that wicked toucheth him not.
