That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life --

and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us --

that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;

and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

if we may say -- 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.

Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

and ye have known that he was manifested that our sins he may take away, and sin is not in him;

every one who is remaining in him doth not sin; every one who is sinning, hath not seen him, nor known him.

he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten.

and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

And we -- we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son -- Saviour of the world;

whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;

if any one may say -- 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son;

he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God -- the life he hath not.

These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in 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 shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!
