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.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.

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

My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--righteous Jesus Christ.

Who is the liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

Every man who denies the Son, also does not have the Father.

Therefore ye, let what ye heard from the beginning abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.

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

He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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.

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.

By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.

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

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.

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

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?

And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son.

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

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

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

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.

All unrighteousness is sin. And there is sin not toward death.

We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.

And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the TRUE God, and the eternal life.
