Concerning the Logos, the author of Life, we declare what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have consider'd, and what has been the object of our touch.

for the life was manifested, we have seen it, we testify of it, and denounce unto you, that eternal life which was with the father, and was manifested unto us.

what we have seen and heard, we declare unto you, that ye also may be of the same society with us: and truly associated with the father, and with his son Jesus Christ.

whosoever adheres to him, sinneth not: whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, he does not know him.

no man hath ever seen God. if we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and our love for him is then sincere.

and we have seen, and do testify, that the father hath sent the son to be the saviour of the world.

If any man see his brother commit a sin, which is not a mortal sin, let him pray to God, who will grant him life, for such as do not commit a mortal sin. there is a sin unto death: in which case I do not enjoin any prayer to be made.
