What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

(and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.

Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

No man has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and his love is in us, having been fully perfected.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.

If any man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.
