And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us;

That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.

And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you, - that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all.

If we say - We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth;

Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.

If we say - Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us.

If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous - that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say - We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.

And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, - if, his commandments, we are keeping.

But whosoever may be keeping his word, of a truth, in this man, the love of God hath been made perfect. Hereby, perceive we, that, in him, we are.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

From among us, they went out, but they were not of us; for, if, of us, they had been, they would in that case have abode with us; but it came to pass in order that they might be made manifest, because, all, are not of us.

Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us - that, children of God, we should be called, - and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him.

Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, - We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.

Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.

Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;

And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.

Beloved! not in every spirit, believe ye, but test the spirits, whether they are, of God; because, many false prophets, have gone out into the world.

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

They, are, of the world: For this cause, of the world, they speak, and the world, unto them, doth hearken.

We, are, of God: he that is getting to understand God, hearkeneth unto us, - whoso is not of God, hearkeneth not unto us: from this, perceive we - the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Hereby, perceive we - that, in him, are we abiding, and, he, in us, - in that, of his Spirit, hath he given unto us.

And, we, for ourselves have gazed, and are bearing witness - that, the Father, sent forth the Son, as Saviour of the world.

Herein, hath love with us, been made perfect, - in order that, boldness, we might have in the day of judging, - in that, just as, He, is, we also, are, in this world.

Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.

For, this is the love of God - that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;

Because, three, are they who are bearing witness -

The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, witnesses , unto one thing.

If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life, - for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.

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

We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real, - and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age-abiding.
