but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

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

And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

But whosoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: and by this we know that we are in Him.

Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye 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 where he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

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 of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever.

They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been indeed of us, they would have continued with us; but this was done that they might be made manifest, because all, that are with us, are not indeed of us.

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

for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.

But the unction, which ye have received from Him, abideth in you; and therefore ye have no need that any should teach you: since this very unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth and not falshood; even as that hath taught you, abide in Him.

Beloved, we are now the children of God, but it doth not yet appear what we shall be: we know however, that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

But if any one, who hath the good things of the world, seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the spirits, whether they be of God: for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

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

Herein is love; not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

No one hath ever seen God: but if we love one another, God dwelleth in us and his love is perfected in us.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; but he that feareth is not perfected in love.

Who then is he that overcometh the world, but he who believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is He that came by water and by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is truth.

We know that whosoever is born of God, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, and the wicked one doth not touch him.

But we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life.
