If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we are deceived, and do not the truth:

Whoever should keep his word, truly in him has the word of God been completed: in this we know that we are in him.

I write to you, little children, for your sins are let go for his name.

I wrote to you, fathers, for ye have known him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, for ye are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and ye have conquered the evil.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.

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

Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God: for many false prophets have come out into the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have conquered them: for greater is he in you, than he in the world.

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

We are of God: he knowing God hears us; he is not of God who hears us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

In this has love been completed with us, that we might have freedom of speech in the day of judgment: for as he is, so are we in this world.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy.

For three are testifying (in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.

And three are testifying in the earth,) the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three are for one.

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

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