That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life;

(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)

that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is indeed 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 children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

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

Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.

As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.

Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.

He that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.

Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise 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 believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment.

Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

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

No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

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

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

If any one say, I love God, and hate 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?

Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that 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 witnessed concerning his Son.

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

And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.

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

If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.

Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.

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

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
