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

Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.

And this is the promise which he himself promised us, even the life everlasting.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

And every one that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.

In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.

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

But whoever hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother having need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

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

And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.

In this was manifested the love of God in regard to us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through him.

Herein hath love been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.

And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome,

because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.

And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son.

And this is the confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us;

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life.
