(the Life has appeared; we saw it, we testify to it, we bring you word of that eternal Life which existed with the Father and was disclosed to us) ??3 it is of what we heard and saw that we bring you word, so that you may share our fellowship; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

but if we live and move within the light, as he is within the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.

My dear children, I am writing this to you that you may not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father in Jesus Christ the just;

Who is the real liar? who but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is 'antichrist,' he who disowns the Father and the Son.

No one who disowns the Son can possess the Father: he who confesses the Son possesses the Father as well.

Let that remain in you which you learned from the very beginning; if what you learned from the very beginning remains with you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father.

Everyone who commits sin commits lawlessness: sin is lawlessness,

and you know he appeared to take [our] sins away. In him there is no sin;

anyone who remains in him does not sin ??anyone who sins has neither seen nor known him.

he who commits sin belongs to the devil, for the devil is a sinner from the very beginning. (This is why the Son of God appeared, to destroy the deeds of the devil.)

Anyone who is born of God does not commit sin, for the offspring of God remain in Him, and they cannot sin, because they are born of God.

Now this is what he commands, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as he has commanded us to do;

This is how the love of God has appeared for us, by God sending his only Son into the world, so that by him we might live.

Love lies in this, not in our love for him but in his love for us ??in the sending of his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

God no one has ever seen; but if we love one another, then God remains within us, and love for him is complete in us.

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

Whoever confesses that 'Jesus is the Son of God,' in him God remains, and he remains in God;

If anyone declares, 'I love God,' and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who will not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot possibly love the God whom he has never seen.

Who is the world's conqueror but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we accept human testimony, God's testimony is greater; for God's testimony consists in his testimony to his Son.

He who believes in the Son of God possesses that testimony within himself; he who will not believe God, has made God a liar by refusing to believe the testimony which God has borne to his Son.

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

He who possesses the Son possesses life: he who does not possess the Son does not possess life.

I have written in this way to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may be sure you have life eternal.

If anyone notices his brother committing a sin which is not deadly, he will ask and obtain life for him ??for anyone who does not commit a deadly sin. There is such a thing as deadly sin; I do not mean he is to pray for that.

All iniquity is sin, but there are sins which are not deadly.

We know that anyone who is born of God does not sin; He who was born of God preserves him, and the evil One never catches him.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us insight to know Him who is the Real God; and we are in Him who is real, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the real God, this is life eternal.
