'Person' in the Bible

The person who says, "I have come to know him," but does not continually keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth has no place in that person.

But whoever continually keeps his commandments is the kind of person in whom God's love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God:

The person who says that he is in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.

The person who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no reason for him to stumble.

But the person who hates his brother is in the darkness and lives in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

And the world and its desires are fading away, but the person who does God's will remains forever.

Who is a liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Messiah? The person who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.

No one who denies the Son has the Father. The person who acknowledges the Son also has the Father.

Little children, don't let anyone deceive you. The person who practices righteousness is righteous, just as the Messiah is righteous.

The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil has been doing.

This is how God's children and the Devil's children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another. The person who does not love remains spiritually dead.

But whoever has the world's possessions and sees his fellow Christian in need and shuts off his compassion against him, how can the love of God reside in such a person?

The person who keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure that he remains in us: he has given us his Spirit.

We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

The person who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

We have come to know and rely on the love that God has for us. God is love, and the person who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.

If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother he has seen cannot love the God he has not seen.

And this is the commandment that we have from him: the person who loves God must also love his brother.

Who overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

The person who believes in the Son of God believes this testimony personally. The person who does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony that he has given about his Son.

The person who has the Son has this life. The person who does not have the Son of God does not have this life.

If anyone sees his fellow Christian committing a sin not resulting in death, he should ask, and God will grant life to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death. There is a sin resulting in death. I do not say that he should ask about that.

We know that the person who has been born from God does not go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one cannot harm them.
