|
001:001 | That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which
we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our
hands have handled, of the Word of life; | |
001:002 | (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;) | |
001:003 | 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. | |
001:004 | And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. | |
001:005 | 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. | |
001:006 | If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: | |
001:007 | 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. | |
001:008 | If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us. | |
001:009 | If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. | |
001:010 | If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his
word is not in us. | |
|
| 002:001 | 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: | |
002:002 | And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's
only, but also for the sins of the whole world. | |
002:003 | And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments. | |
002:004 | He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him. | |
002:005 | But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. | |
002:006 | He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked. | |
002:007 | 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. | |
002:008 | 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. | |
002:009 | He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is
in darkness even until now. | |
002:010 | He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is
none occasion of stumbling in him. | |
002:011 | 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. | |
002:012 | I write unto you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for his name's sake. | |
002:013 | 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. | |
002:014 | 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. | |
002:015 | 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. | |
002:016 | 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. | |
002:017 | And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for ever. | |
002:018 | 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. | |
002:019 | 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. | |
002:020 | But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
things. | |
002:021 | 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. | |
002:022 | Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He
is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. | |
002:023 | Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he
that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. | |
002:024 | 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. | |
002:025 | And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal
life. | |
002:026 | These things have I written unto you concerning them that
seduce you. | |
002:027 | 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. | |
002:028 | 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. | |
002:029 | If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that
doeth righteousness is born of him. | |
|
| 003:001 | 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. | |
003:002 | 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. | |
003:003 | And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure. | |
003:004 | Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin
is the transgression of the law. | |
003:005 | And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and
in him is no sin. | |
003:006 | Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath
not seen him, neither known him. | |
003:007 | Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. | |
003:008 | 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. | |
003:009 | 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. | |
003:010 | 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. | |
003:011 | For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that
we should love one another. | |
003:012 | 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. | |
003:013 | Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. | |
003:014 | We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we
love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in
death. | |
003:015 | Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that
no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. | |
003:016 | 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. | |
003:017 | 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? | |
003:018 | My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth. | |
003:019 | And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure
our hearts before him. | |
003:020 | For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart,
and knoweth all things. | |
003:021 | Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence
toward God. | |
003:022 | And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
sight. | |
003:023 | 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. | |
003:024 | 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. | |
|
| 004:001 | Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into
the world. | |
004:002 | Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: | |
004:003 | 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. | |
004:004 | 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. | |
004:005 | They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and
the world heareth them. | |
004:006 | 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. | |
004:007 | Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. | |
004:008 | He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. | |
004:009 | 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. | |
004:010 | Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. | |
004:011 | Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another. | |
004:012 | No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. | |
004:013 | Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he
hath given us of his Spirit. | |
004:014 | And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son
to be the Saviour of the world. | |
004:015 | Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God
dwelleth in him, and he in God. | |
004:016 | 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. | |
004:017 | 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. | |
004:018 | 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. | |
004:019 | We love him, because he first loved us. | |
004:020 | 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? | |
004:021 | And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God
love his brother also. | |
|
| 005:001 | 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. | |
005:002 | By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love
God, and keep his commandments. | |
005:003 | For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not grievous. | |
005:004 | For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this
is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. | |
005:005 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God? | |
005:006 | 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. | |
005:007 | For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. | |
005:008 | And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit,
and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. | |
005:009 | 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. | |
005:010 | 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. | |
005:011 | And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son. | |
005:012 | He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son
of God hath not life. | |
005:013 | 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. | |
005:014 | And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: | |
005:015 | And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know
that we have the petitions that we desired of him. | |
005:016 | 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. | |
005:017 | All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. | |
005:018 | 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. | |
005:019 | And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in
wickedness. | |
005:020 | 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. | |
005:021 | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
