But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is fully perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have know him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome evil.

They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but--so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but examine the spirits, whether they are of God, because many FALSE prophets have gone out into the world.

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

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

We are of God. He who knows 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.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.

By this love has been fully perfected with us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just as that man is, we also are in this world.

For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

Because those who testify are three:

the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in one.

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

And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the TRUE God, and the eternal life.
