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

and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us;

that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you 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 his Son cleanses us from all sin.

But 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, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Who is a liar except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.

No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.

Let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you heard from the beginning may abide in you, you also are abiding in the Son, and in the Father.

Every one doing sin does also a transgression of the law: and sin is the transgression of the law.

And you know that he was manifested that he might take away sins; and in him there is no sin.

The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins.

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

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

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

If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.

Who is the one conquering the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing 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 has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.

I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those who believe on the name of the Son of God.

If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is sin not unto death.

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life.
