THAT which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld and our hands felt, concerning the Word of life,??2 and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us,??3 that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. And 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 one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

My little children, these things I write to you that you may not sin. But if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous,

Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the anti-christ, [the man that] denies the Father and the Son.

No one that denies the Son has the Father; he that confesses the Son has the Father also.

Let that which you heard from the beginning continue in you. If that which you heard from the beginning continues in you, you also shall continue in the Son and in the Father.

Every one that commits sin commits also wickedness, and sin is wickedness.

And we know that he was manifested to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

No one that continues in him sins; no one that sins has seen him, or known him.

he that commits sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this was the Son of God manifested, to destroy the works of the devil.

No one that has been born of God commits sin, for his seed continues in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

And this is his commandment; that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as he gave commandment.

The love of God was manifested to us in this; that God has sent his only Son into the world that we may live through him.

In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God continues in us and his love is perfected in us.

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

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God continues in him and he in God.

If any one says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the Father loves also the Son who is born to him.

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

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he that believes not God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.

And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that has the Son has the life; he that has not the Son has not the life.

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

If any one sees his brother commit a sin, not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life, for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death; I say not that you should pray for it.

All wickedness is sin, and there is sin not to death.

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

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding that we may know the true One; and we are in the true One, in his Son Jesus Christ; this is the true God, and eternal life.
