If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie and observe not the truth;

If we say we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

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

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

and he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but for all the world.

He that says, I have known him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

Beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you heard.

but he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

for all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us they would have continued with us; but [they went out from us] that they might be manifest that they are not all of us.

I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

And the anointing which you received from him continues in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; but as his anointing teaches you of all things, and is true and is not a lie, even as it has taught you, continue in him.

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

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. The world therefore knows us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be. We know, that if he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

By this are the children of God manifest, and the children of the devil; no one that does not righteousness is of God, and no one that loves not his brother.

not as Cain was of the evil one and killed his brother; and why did he kill him? because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Wonder not, brothers, if the world hates you.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers; he that loves not, continues in death.

And whoever has the goods of the world and sees his brother have need, and withholds his compassions from him, how continues the love of God in him?

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

Beloved, if our minds do not condemn us, we have boldness before God,

BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. And this is the [spirit] of anti-christ, of which you have heard that he is coming, and he is now in the world already.

We are of God; he that knows God hears us, he that is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.

In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has pain; and he that is afraid is not made perfect in love.

If any one says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous;

This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus, the Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood; and the Spirit is that which testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.

(Added verse not retained in Sawyer)

He that believes on the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he that believes not God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.

He that has the Son has the life; he that has not the Son has not the life.

If any one sees his brother commit a sin, not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life, for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death; I say not that you should pray for it.

All wickedness is sin, and there is sin not to death.

We know that every one who has been born of God does not sin, but he that has been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
