(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)

They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.

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

And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.

He that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.

Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

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

Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as he is, we also are in this world.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
