In this we have known the love, that He laid down His soul in our behalf; and we ought to lay down our souls in behalf of the brethren.

Hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our heart before Him;

and whatsoever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments, and do the things that are pleasing before Him.

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

And he that keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit Whom He gave to us.

In this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ hath come in flesh is of God;

and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Anti-Christ, of which ye have heard that it is coming, and now it is in the world already.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He Who is in you, than he that is in the world.

We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears us not: from this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

He that loves not never knew God; because God is love.

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

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son, to be a propitiation for our sins.

In this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit.

And we have beheld, and testify, that the Father hath sent the Son, as Savior of the world.

Whosoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in Him, and he in God.

And we have known and believed the love which God hath in us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abideth in him.

In this has love been made perfect with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, even so are we in this world.

If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God Whom he has not seen.

And this commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God loves his brother also.

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God; and every one who loves Him Who begat loves him also that has been begotten of Him.

In 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 all that has been begotten of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; because this is the testimony of God, that He hath testified concerning His Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that believes not God has made Him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony that God testified concerning His Son.

And this is the testimony, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

He that has the Son has the life; he that has not the Son of God has not the life.

These things I wrote to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life.

And this is the confidence which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us;

and, if we know that He heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we asked of Him.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall make request concerning this.

We know that every one who has been begotten of God sins not; but he who was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil one touches him not.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world is lying in the evil one.

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??n His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.

And now I beseech you, lady, not as writing a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandment. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.

Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we wrought, but that ye receive a full reward.

Every one who leads forward, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.

for he that says to him, "Greeting," partakes in his evil works.

Having many things to write to you, I was not willing to write them with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that your joy may be made full.

Beloved, I pray that, in all things, you may be prosperous, and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

Beloved, you do a faithful work, in whatsoever you do to the brethren, and that to strangers,

We ought, therefore, to welcome such persons, that we may become fellow-workers for the truth.

Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. He that does good is of God; the evil-doer has not seen God.

To Demetrius testimony has been borne by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

Now I wish to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not.

that they were wont to say to you: "In the last time there will be mockers, walking according to their own ungodly desires."

Happy is he that reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; for the time is near.

John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him Who is, and Who was, and Who is coming; and from the seven Spirits Who are before His throne;

And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me; and, having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

"I know your works and your toil, and your patience, and that you cannot bear evil men; and you tried those who call themselves apostles, and are not, and found them false;

But I have it against you, that you left your first love.

But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

Fear not the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in nowise be hurt by the second death.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the Hidden Manna; and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows, but he that receives it.

But I have it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces My servants to commit fornication, and to eat idol-sacrifices.

And I gave her time, that she might repent; and she is not willing to repent of her fornication.

And her children I will slay with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am He Who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to you, each one, according to your works.

nevertheless, that which ye have, hold fast till I come.

And he that overcomes, and he that keeps My works until the end, to him will I give authority over the nations;

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

"And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write these things," saith He Who hath the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and you are dead.

Become watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your works complete before My God.

He that overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will in nowise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

Behold, I give those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie??ehold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I loved you.

I am coming speedily; hold fast that which you have, that no one take your crown.

He that overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God; and he shall in nowise go out any more: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My own New Name.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would you were cold or hot.

Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing'; and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked!

I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see!

He that overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with Me in My throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father in His throne.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

And every created thing which is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, "To Him Who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the might, forever and ever!"

And there went forth another horse, a red one; and to him who was sitting thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

And I saw, and behold, a pale horse; and he that sat on him, his name was Death; and Hades was following with him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

And a white robe was given to each one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet a little time, until their fellow-servants and their brethren, who were about to be slain, as they also had been, should fulfill their course.

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.

And another angel came, and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, that had souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

And the fourth angel sounded; and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, that the third part of them might be darkened, and that the day might not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.

And it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God upon their foreheads.

And it was given to them, that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man.

saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet; "Loose the four angels that are bound in the great river Euphrates."

And the four angels were loosed, who had been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they might kill the third part of men.

By these three plagues the third part of men was killed, by reason of the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone, that was issuing out of their mouths.

And the rest of the men, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship the demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;

and swore by Him Who liveth forever and ever, Who created the heaven and the things therein, and the earth and the things therein, and the sea and the things therein, that there shall be delay no longer;

And I went to the angel, saying to him, that he should give me the little book. And he says to me, "Take, and eat it up; and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks, that stand before the Lord of the earth.

These have authority to shut the heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and they have authority over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they may wish.

And when they finish their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons; and the rest became terrified, and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

And the Temple of God that is in Heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His Temple; and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

And his tail drags the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon has taken his stand before the woman who is about to bring forth; in order that, when she brings forth, he may devour her child.
