That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life,

(for the Life was revealed, and we have seen it and bear witness, and show to you the everlasting Life, who was with the Father and was revealed to us),

that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who denies the Father and the Son is antichrist.

Everyone who denies the Son neither has the Father. The one confessing the Son also has the Father.

Therefore what you heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you will abide in both the Son and in the Father.

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.

And you know that He was revealed that He might take away our sins, and in Him is no sin.

Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.

He who practices sin is of the Devil, for the Devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might undo the works of the Devil.

Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation concerning our sins.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us.

And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him and he in God.

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

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which He has testified about His Son.

He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself. He who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he does not believe the record that God gave of His Son.

And this is the record, that God has given to us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son.

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

I have written these things to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.

If anyone sees his brother sin a sin not to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those that do not sin to death. There is a sin to death, I do not say that he shall pray for it.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not to death.

We know that everyone who has been born of God does not continue to sin, but the one born of God guards himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the everlasting life.
