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

If we say, we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 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 beloved children, I write these things to you, that ye may not sin. But if any one sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous, And he is the propitiation for our sins;

and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

He that faith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

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

But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world: if any one love 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 eye, 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, that they might be made manifest, that they were not all of us.

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

Whosoever denieth the Son, he hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son, hath the Father also.

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any should teach you, save as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in them.

And now, beloved children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not; whosoever sinneth, seeth him not, neither knoweth him.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed abideth in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Hereby the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil: whosoever practiseth not righteousness is not of God; neither he that loveth not his brother.

Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother.

And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

We know, that we are passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My beloved children, let us love not in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

And every spirit which confesseth not Jesus Christ come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and now already it is in the world.

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

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, a propitiation for our sins.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath 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; even Jesus Christ; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and it is the Spirit who testifieth; because the Spirit is truth.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself. He that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the testimony which he 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 one see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, let him ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not unto death.

There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for that. All unrighteousness is sin: but there is a sin not unto death.

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not;

but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not. We know, that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one.
