| 1:1 |
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheldhave looked at and touched with our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life— |
| 1:2 |
and the life was manifested, and we have seen and beartestify witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— |
| 1:3 |
what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you alsotoo may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. |
| 1:4 |
AndThese these things we write, so that our joy may be made complete. |
| 1:5 |
AndThis this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is lightLight, and in Him there is no darkness at all. |
| 1:7 |
but if we walk in the lightLight as He Himself is in the lightLight, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. |
| 1:8 |
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. |
| 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, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; |
| 2:3 |
AndBy by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. |
| 2:8 |
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true lightLight is already shining. |
| 2:9 |
The one who says he is in the lightLight and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. |
| 2:10 |
The one who loves his brother abides in the lightLight and there is no cause for stumbling in him. |
| 2:12 |
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins arehave been forgiven you for His names sake. |
| 2:15 |
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
| 2:17 |
AndThe the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abideslives forever. |
| 2:18 |
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisenappeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. |
| 2:19 |
They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, inso order that it mightwould be shown that they all are not of us. |
| 2:25 |
AndThis this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. |
| 2:27 |
AndAs as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. |
| 2:28 |
And nowNow, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. |
| 3:1 |
See how great a love the Father has bestowed uponon us, that we shouldwould be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. |
| 3:2 |
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shallwill be. We know that, when He appears, we shallwill be like Him, because we shallwill see Him just as He is. |
| 3:5 |
AndYou you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. |
| 3:7 |
Little children, letmake sure no one deceivedeceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; |
| 3:8 |
the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, thatto He might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 3:12 |
not as Cain, who was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brothers were righteous. |
| 3:13 |
Do not marvelbe surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. |
| 3:17 |
But whoever has the worlds goods, and beholdssees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? |
| 3:19 |
We shallwill know by this that we are of the truth, and shallwill assure our heart before Him, |
| 3:20 |
in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. |
| 3:23 |
AndThis this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. |
| 3:24 |
AndThe the one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. AndWe we know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. |
| 4:1 |
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God;, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. |
| 4:3 |
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. |
| 4:12 |
No one has beheldseen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. |
| 4:14 |
AndWe we have beheldseen and beartestify witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. |
| 4:16 |
AndWe we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. |
| 4:17 |
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. |
| 5:1 |
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God;, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. |
| 5:4 |
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world —our faith. |
| 5:5 |
AndWho who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
| 5:6 |
This is the oneOne who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. |
| 5:7 |
AndFor itthere isare thethree Spiritthat who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.testify: |
| 5:8 |
For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. |
| 5:9 |
If we receive the witnesstestimony of men, the witnesstestimony of God is greater; for the witnesstestimony of God is this, that He has bornetestified witness concerning His Son. |
| 5:10 |
The one who believes in the Son of God has the witnesstestimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the witnesstestimony that God has bornegiven concerning His Son. |
| 5:11 |
And the witnesstestimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. |
| 5:13 |
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, inso order that you may know that you have eternal life. |
| 5:14 |
AndThis this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. |
| 5:18 |
We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. |
| 5:19 |
We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. |
| 5:20 |
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, inso order that we mightmay know Him who is true,; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. |
