And this is the tidings which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

He that saith how that he is in the light, and yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until this time.

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him.

And every man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himself, even as he is pure.

He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth since the beginning. But for this cause appeared the son of God, even to destroy the works of the devil.

For this is the tidings, that ye heard at the beginning, that we should love one another:

And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave commandment.

Herein is the love perfect with us, that we should have confidence in the day of judgment; For as he is, even so are we in this world.

And this commandment have we of him: that he which loveth God, should love his brother also.

In this we know that we love the sons of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.

For all that is born of God, overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

This Jesus Christ is he that came by water and blood, not by water only: but by water and blood.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God, that God hath born of his son.

And this is the witness: how that God hath given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his son.

And this is the confidence that we have in him: that if we ask ought, according to his will, he heareth us.
