If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth;

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

but he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

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

I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.

And the anointing which ye yourselves received from him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we children of God, and it hath not yet been manifested what we shall be. We know that, when it shall be manifested, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

Whoever abideth in him sinneth not; whoever sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.

Whoever hath been born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed abideth in him; and he cannot sin, because he hath been born of God.

In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.

not as Cain was of the Evil One, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brothers righteous.

Wonder not, brethren, if the world hateth you.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren; he that loveth not abideth in death.

But whoever hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother having need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God;

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.

We are of God; he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

If any one saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

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

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son.

He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

If any one see his brother sin a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and shall give him life,to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; for that I do not say that he shall pray.

All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not unto death.

We know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not.
