It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.

and that life has been unveiled to us, and we have seen it and now testify to it and we now announce it to you, yea, the eternal life that was with the Father and has been unveiled to us.

I repeat, it is what we have seen and heard that we now announce to you, so that you too may share this fellowship with us, for this fellowship that we have is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ;

and now we write these things to you to make our joy complete.

And this is the message that we have heard from Him and now announce to you: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in Him.

Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep his commandments.

My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is TRUE in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the TRUE light now shines.

He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.

Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever.

Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

Now you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

Now this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life.

Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him.

And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

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

[Now] this is the message that you people heard from the beginning [of Christ's ministry], that we should love one another [See Mark 12:31],

Now whoever has [a sufficient amount of] life's possessions and [then] observes one of his [Christian] brothers who does not have enough to get by on, but does not feel sorry for him [i.e., enough to help him out], surely a love for God does not continue to live in that person's heart.

now this is his commandment, that we believe in his son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, as he commanded us.

And the person who keeps his commandments resides in God, and God in him. Now by this we know that God resides in us: by the Spirit he has given us.

and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the'spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

We have seen and now testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world.

For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Now His commands are not a burden,

Now who is it that continues to conquer the world, if it is not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

it appear'd by the water, and by the blood, who he was, even Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and by the blood: besides, the spirit is a witness too, now the spirit is truth itself.

if we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: now this is the testimony, which God has given us of his son.

Now what is testified, is this, that God has given to us eternal life: and this life is by his son.

Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.
