What we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also might have communion with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And these we write to you, that your joy might be filled up.

And this is the message which we have heard from him, and we announce to you, that God is light, and no darkness is in him.

If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we are deceived, and do not the truth:

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

If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just that he let go sins to us, and cleanse us from all injustice.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My little children, I write these to you, that ye sin not. And if any sin, we have an intercessor with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

And in this we know that we have known him, if we should keep his commands.

Whoever should keep his word, truly in him has the word of God been completed: in this we know that we are in him.

Young children, it is the last hour: and as ye have heard that antichrist comes, and now many antichrists have come; whence we know that it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

Who is a liar if not he denying that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, denying the Father and the Son.

And the anointing which ye received from him remains in you, and ye have no need that any teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is true, and is no lie, and as it taught you, ye shall remain in him.

And now, little children, remain in him; that, when he be manifested, we might have freedom of speech, that we be not shamed from him in his presence.

If ye know that he is just, ye know that every one doing justice has been born of him.

See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not.

Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

And ye know that he was manifested that he might let go our sins; and in him is no sin.

He doing sin is of the accuser; for the accuser sins from the beginning. For this was the Son of God manifested, that he might loose the works of the accuser.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

We know that we have passed from death to life, for we love the brethren. He not loving the brother remains in death.

Every one hating his brother is a manslayer: and ye know that no man-slayer has eternal life remaining in him.

And in this we know that we are of the truth, and we will yield our hearts before him.

And this is his command, That we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us command.

And he keeping his commands remains in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit he gave us.

And every spirit which acknowledges not Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that of antichrist which ye have heard comes; and now is already in the world.

In this was the love of God manifested in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world, that we might live by him.

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

In this we know that we remain in him, and he in us, for he has given us of his Spirit.

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

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

In this has love been completed with us, that we might have freedom of speech in the day of judgment: for as he is, so are we in this world.

And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving him having begotten, loves him also begotten of him.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commands.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy.

Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

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

These I wrote to you believing in the name of the Son of God; ye might know that ye have etrnal life, and that ye might believe in the name of the Son of God.

And this is the freedom of speech which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us:

And if we know that he hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

If any see his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and sinning will give him life to them sinning not to death. There is a sin to death: I say not of that, that he should ask.

We know that every one born of God sins not; but he born of God keeps himself, and evil touches him not.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in evil.

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