[1:2]
(For the life was
manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and
shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the
Father, and was manifested unto us;)
[1:3]
That which we have
seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have
fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the
Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
[1:4]
And these things
write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
[1:5]
This then is the
message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
[1:6]
If we say that we
have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie,
and do not the truth
[1:7]
But if we walk in
the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one
with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
[1:8]
If we say that we
have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us.
[1:9]
If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[1:10]
If we say that we
have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not
in us.
[2:1]
My little children,
these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if
any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous
[2:2]
And he is the
propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but
also for the sins of the whole world.
[2:3]
And hereby we do
know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[2:4]
He that saith, I
know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him.
[2:5]
But whoso keepeth
his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected;
hereby know we that we are in him.
[2:6]
He that saith he
abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he
walked.
[2:7]
Brethren, I write
no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which
ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the
word which ye have heard from the beginning.
[2:8]
Again, a new
commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him
and in you; because the darkness is past, and the true
light now shineth.
[2:9]
He that saith he is
in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even
until now.
[2:10]
He that loveth his
brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion
of stumbling in him.
[2:11]
But he that hateth
his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and
knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath
blinded his eyes.
[2:12]
I write unto you,
little children, because your sins are forgiven you for
his name's sake.
[2:13]
I write unto you,
fathers, because ye have known him that is from the
beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have
overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little
children, because ye have known the Father.
[2:14]
I have written unto
you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the
beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye
are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye
have overcome the wicked one.
[2:15]
Love not the world,
neither the things that are in the world. If any man love
the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[2:16]
For 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.
[2:17]
And the world
passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.
[2:18]
Little children, it
is the last time; and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby
we know that it is the last time.
[2:19]
They went out from
us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us,
they would no doubt have continued with us; but they went
out, that they might be made manifest that they were not
all of us.
[2:20]
But ye have an
unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
[2:21]
I have not written
unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye
know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
[2:22]
Who is a liar but
he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
[2:23]
Whosoever denieth
the Son, the same hath not the Father; (but) he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
[2:24]
Let that therefore
abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If
that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain
in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the
Father.
[2:25]
And this is the
promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
[2:26]
These things have I
written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
[2:27]
But the anointing
which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need
not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
[2:28]
And now, little
children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we
may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his
coming.
[2:29]
If ye know that he
is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth
righteousness is born of him.
[3:1]
Behold, what manner
of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should
be called the sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us
not, because it knew him not.
[3:2]
Beloved, now are we
the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be
like him; for we shall see him as he is.
[3:3]
And every man that
hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is
pure.
[3:4]
Whosoever
committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the
transgression of the law.
[3:5]
And ye know that he
was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no
sin.
[3:6]
Whosoever abideth
in him sinneth not; whosoever sinneth hath not seen him,
neither known him.
[3:7]
Little children,
let no man deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as he is righteous.
[3:8]
He that committeth
sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[3:9]
Whosoever is born
of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
[3:10]
In this the
children of God are manifest, and the children of the
devil; whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
[3:11]
For this is the
message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should
love one another.
[3:12]
Not as Cain, who
was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous.
[3:13]
Marvel not, my
brethren, if the world hate you.
[3:14]
We know that we
have passed from death unto life, because we love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in
death.
[3:15]
Whosoever hateth
his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
[3:16]
Hereby perceive we
the love of God, because he laid down his life for us;
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
[3:17]
But whoso hath this
world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and
shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how
dwelleth the love of God in him?
[3:18]
My little children,
let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed
and in truth.
[3:19]
And hereby we know
that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts
before him.
[3:20]
For if our heart
condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth
all things.
[3:21]
Beloved, if our
heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
[3:22]
And whatsoever we
ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments,
and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
[3:23]
And this is his
commandment, That we should believe on the name of his
Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.
[3:24]
And he that keepeth
his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And
hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which
he hath given us.
[4:1]
Beloved, believe
not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of
God; because many false prophets are gone out into the
world.
[4:2]
Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God; Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is of God
[4:3]
And every spirit
that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God; and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world.
[4:4]
Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them; because greater
is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
[4:5]
They are of the
world; therefore speak they of the world, and the world
heareth them.
[4:6]
We are of God; he
that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God
heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and
the spirit of error.
[4:7]
Beloved, let us
love one another; for love is of God; and every one that
loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[4:8]
He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is love.
[4:9]
In this was
manifested the love of God toward us, because that God
sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might
live through him.
[4:10]
Herein is love, not
that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins.
[4:11]
Beloved, if God so
loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[4:12]
No man hath seen
God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in
us, and his love is perfected in us.
[4:13]
Hereby know we that
we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us
of his Spirit.
[4:14]
And we have seen
and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the
Saviour of the world.
[4:15]
Whosoever shall
confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in
him, and he in God.
[4:16]
And we have known
and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in
him.
[4:17]
Herein is our love
made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.
[4:18]
There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in
love.
[4:19]
We love him,
because he first loved us.
[4:20]
If a man say, 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?
[4:21]
And this
commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love
his brother also.
[5:1]
Whosoever believeth
that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one
that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is
begotten of him.
[5:2]
By this we know
that we love the children of God, when we love God, and
keep his commandments.
[5:3]
For this is the
love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his
commandments are not grievous.
[5:4]
For whatsoever is
born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory
that overcometh the world, even our faith.
[5:5]
Who is he that
overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is
the Son of God?
[5:6]
This is he that
came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water
only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that
beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
[5:7]
For there are three
that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost; and these three are one.
[5:8]
And there are three
that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water,
and the blood; and these three agree in one.
[5:9]
If we receive the
witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this
is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
[5:10]
He that believeth
on the Son of God hath the witness in himself; he that
believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he
believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
[5:11]
And this is the
record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son.
[5:12]
He that hath the
Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath
not life.
[5:13]
These things have I
written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that
ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
[5:14]
And this is the
confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing
according to his will, he heareth us
[5:15]
And if we know that
he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we desired of him.
[5:16]
If any man see his
brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask,
and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto
death. There is a sin unto death; I do not say that he
shall pray for it.
[5:17]
All unrighteousness
is sin; and there is a sin not unto death.
[5:18]
We know that
whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is
begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one
toucheth him not.
[5:19]
And we know that we
are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
[5:20]
And we know that
the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we
are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God, and eternal life.
[5:21]
Little children,
keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
