and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us;

but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love.

Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.

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