| 1:1 |
That which was from the beginning that which we have heard that which we have seen with our eyes that which we havebeheld looked upon and our hands have handled ofconcerning the Word of life; |
| 1:2 |
Forand the life was manifested and we have seen it and bear witness and shewdeclare unto you thatthe life the eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested unto us; |
| 1:3 |
Thatthat which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ: |
| 1:4 |
Andand these things write we untowrite you that yourour joy may be made full |
| 1:5 |
ThisAnd thenthis is the message which we have heard offrom him and declareannounce 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 the darkness we lie and do not the truth: |
| 1:7 |
Butbut 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 |
| 1:9 |
If we confess our sins he is faithful and justrighteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness |
| 2:1 |
My little children these things write I unto you that ye sinmay not sin And if any man sin we have an advocateAdvocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous: |
| 2:2 |
Andand 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 |
Butbut whoso keepeth his word in him verily ishath the love of God been perfected: herebyHereby we know we that we are in him: |
| 2:6 |
Hehe that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk even as he walked |
| 2:7 |
BrethrenBeloved I write no new commandment write I unto you but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: Thethe old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning |
| 2:8 |
Again a new commandment write I write unto you which thing is true in him and in you:; because the darkness is pastpassing away and the true light nowalready shineth |
| 2:9 |
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in the darkness even until now |
| 2:10 |
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light and there is noneno occasion of stumbling in him |
| 2:11 |
But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness and walketh in the darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth because thatthe darkness hath blinded his eyes |
| 2:12 |

| 2:14 |
I have written unto you fathers because ye haveknow known him thatwho 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 wickedevil one |
| 2:16 |
For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pridevainglory of life is not of the Father but is of the world |
| 2:18 |
Little children it is the last timehour: and as ye have heard that antichrist shallcometh come even now arehave there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last timehour |
| 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 wereall are not all of us |
| 2:20 |
ButAnd ye have an unctionanointing 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 thatbecause no lie is of the truth |
| 2:22 |
Who is athe liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ HeThis is the antichrist even he that denieth the Father and the Son |
| 2:23 |
Whosoever denieth the Son the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgethconfesseth the Son hath the Father also |
| 2:24 |
LetAs for you let that therefore abide in you which ye have heard from the beginning If that which ye have heard from the beginning shallabide remain in you ye also shall continueabide in the Son and in the Father |
| 2:25 |

| 2:29 |
If ye know that he is righteous ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is bornbegotten of him |
| 3:1 |
Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called thechildren sons of God:; thereforeand such we are For this cause the world knoweth us not because it knew him not |
| 3:2 |
Beloved now are we thechildren sons of God and it dothis not yet appearmade manifest what we shall be: butWe we know that whenif he shall appearbe manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is |
| 3:3 |
And every manone that hath this hope inset on him purifieth himself even as he is pure |
| 3:4 |
WhosoeverEvery committethone that doeth sin transgressethdoeth also thelawlessness; law:and for sin is thelawlessness transgression of the law |
| 3:5 |
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin |

| 3:7 |
LittleMy little children let no man deceivelead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous: |
| 3:8 |
Hehe that committethdoeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning ForTo this purposeend was the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil |
| 3:9 |
Whosoever is bornbegotten of God dothdoeth notno commit sin; forbecause his seed remainethabideth in him: and he cannot sin because he is bornbegotten of God |
| 3:11 |
For this is the message thatwhich ye heard from the beginning that we should love one another: |
| 3:12 |
Notnot as Cain who was of thatthe wickedevil one and slew his brother And wherefore slew he him Because his own works were evil and his brothers righteous |
| 3:13 |
Marvel not my brethren if the world hatehateth you |
| 3:14 |
We know that we have passed fromout of death untointo life because we love the brethren He that loveth not his brother abideth in death |
| 3:16 |
Hereby perceiveknow 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 thisthe worlds goodgoods and seethbeholdeth his brother havein need and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him how dwellethdoth the love of God abide in him |
| 3:18 |
My little children let us not love in word neither inwith the tongue; but in deed and intruth truth |
| 3:19 |
AndHereby herebyshall we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our heartsheart before him: |
| 3:20 |
Forbecause if our heart condemn us God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things |
| 3:21 |
Beloved if our heart condemn us not thenwe have weboldness confidence toward God; |
| 3:22 |
Andand whatsoever we ask we receive of him because we keep his commandments and do thosethe things that are pleasing in his sight |
| 3:23 |
And this is his commandment Thatthat we should believe onin the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another even as he gave us commandment |
| 3:24 |
And he that keepeth his commandments dwellethabideth in him and he in him And hereby we know that he abideth in us by the Spirit which he hathgave given us |
| 4:1 |
Beloved believe not every spirit but tryprove 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: Everyevery spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: |
| 4:3 |
Andand every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is thatthe spirit of the antichrist whereof ye have heard that it should comecometh; and even now alreadyit is it in the world already |
| 4:4 |
Ye are of God my 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 as of the world and the world heareth them |
| 4:6 |
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he thatwho is not of God heareth us not usBy Herebythis we 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 bornbegotten of God and knoweth God |
| 4:9 |
InHerein this was manifested the love of God towardmanifested in us because that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him |
| 4:11 |
Beloved if God so loved us we also ought also to love one another |
| 4:12 |
No man hath seenbeheld God at any time: Ifif we love one another God dwellethabideth in us and his love is perfected in us: |
| 4:13 |
Herebyhereby we know we that we dwellabide in him and he in us because he hath given us of his Spirit |
| 4:14 |
And we have seenbeheld and dobear testifywitness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world |
| 4:15 |
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God God dwellethabideth in him and he in God |
| 4:16 |
And we haveknow known and have believed the love thatwhich God hath toin us God is love; and he that dwellethabideth in love dwellethabideth in God and God abideth in him |
| 4:17 |
Herein is our love made perfect with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment:; because as he is even so are we in this world |
| 4:18 |
There is no fear in love;: but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath tormentpunishment; Heand 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 howcannot can he love God whom he hath not seen |
| 4:21 |
And this commandment have we from him Thatthat he who loveth God love his brother also |
| 5:1 |
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is bornbegotten of God: and everywhosoever one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him |
| 5:2 |
ByHereby this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keepdo his commandments |
| 5:4 |
For whatsoever is bornbegotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcomethhath overcome the world even our faith |
| 5:5 |
WhoAnd 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 bywith the water only but bywith the water and bloodwith And it is the Spiritblood that beareth witness because the Spirit is truth |
| 5:7 |
ForAnd thereit areis threethe Spirit that bearbeareth recordwitness inbecause heaven the FatherSpirit theis Word and the Holytruth Ghost: and these three are one |
| 5:8 |
AndFor there are three thatwho bear witness in earth the Spirit and the water and the blood: and thesethe 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 whichis this that he hath testifiedborne ofwitness concerning his Son |
| 5:10 |
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himselfhim: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believethhath not believed in the recordwitness that God gavehath ofborne concerning his Son |
| 5:11 |
And thisthe witness is thethis record that God hathgave givenunto to us eternal life and this life is in his Son |
| 5:12 |
He that hath the Son hath the life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not the 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 andeven thatunto yeyou maythat believe on the name of the Son of God |
| 5:14 |
And this is the confidenceboldness thatwhich we have intoward him that if we ask anyanything thing according to his will he heareth us: |
| 5:15 |
Andand if we know that he hearheareth us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions thatwhich we desiredhave asked of him |
| 5:16 |
If any man see his brother sinsinning a sin which is not unto death he shall ask and heGod shallwill give him life for them that sin not unto death There is a sin unto death: Inot concerning this do notI say that he shallshould praymake forrequest it |
| 5:18 |
We know that whosoever is bornbegotten of God sinneth not; but he that iswas begotten of God keepeth himself and thatthe wickedevil one toucheth him not |
| 5:19 |
AndWe we know that we are of God and the whole world lieth in wickednessthe evil one |
| 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 |
