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;

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.

He that saith - I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!

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.

He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.

Again, a new commandment, am I writing unto you, - which thing is true, in him and in you, because, the darkness, is passing away, and, the real light, already is shining.

He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.

I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand the Father:

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.

And, as for you, the anointing which ye have received from him, abideth in you, and ye have, no need, that anyone be teaching you; but, as, his anointing, is teaching you, and is, true, and is no falsehood, even just as it hath taught you, abide ye in him.

And, now, dear children, abide ye in him, in order that, if he be made manifest, we may have boldness, and not be shamed away from him by his presence.

If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that - whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.

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.

And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.

And ye know, that, He, was made manifest - in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.

Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.

Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.

Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.

Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding.

But, whoso hath this world's goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?

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.

And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.

Herein, hath the love of God in us, been made manifest, that, his only-begotten Son, God sent into the world, in order that we might live through him.

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

Whosoever shall confess, that, Jesus Christis the Son of God, God, in him, abideth, and, he, in God.

And, we, have come to understand and to trust the love which, God, hath, in us. God, is, love; and, he that abideth in love, in God, abideth, and, God, in him abideth.

And, this commandment, have we from him, - that, he who loveth God, love, his brother also.

Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth him that hath been begotten of him.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him, - because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son -

And, this, is the boldness which we have towards him: that, if, anything, we ask, according to his will, He doth hearken unto us.

And, if we know that he doth hearken unto us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the things asked, which we have asked of him,

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, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin, - Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.

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.
