That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled of the word of life:

For the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify and declare to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us:

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him is no sin.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning: to this end the son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil.

Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother.

Hereby was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
