And in this we know that we have known him, if we are keeping his commandments.

but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

because this is all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Who is a liar except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.

This is the message which he proclaimed unto you, eternal life.

Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

Indeed every one having this hope on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love.

Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another,

In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;

And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.

In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that he is coming; and now he is already in the world.

They are of the world: on this account they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

We are of God: the one knowing God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit.

In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.

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

For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

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

And this is the assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.
