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.

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.

And this is the promise which he promised us, eternal life.

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.

And every one having this hope in him purifies himself, as he himself is pure.

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.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.

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

In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.

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.

In this ye know the spirit of God: Every spirit which acknowledges Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is of God:

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

For everything begotten of God conquers the world: and this is the victory having conquered the world, our faith.

This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he has testified concerning his Son.

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

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 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.
