what we have seen and heard
we also declare to you,
so that you may have fellowship along with us;
and indeed our fellowship is with the Father
and with His Son Jesus Christ.

He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law.

This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.

Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.

And we have this command from Him: The one who loves God must also love his brother.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of Him.
