And we write this that our joy may be complete.

My little children, I write this to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

I wrote to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

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

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does right is born of him.

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
