Mylittle children, these thingswriteI unto you, thatye sinnot. Andifany mansin, we havean advocatewiththeFather, JesusChristthe righteous: Andheisthe propitiationforoursins: andnotforoursonly, butalsofor the sins of thewholeworld. Andherebywe do knowthatwe knowhim, ifwe keephiscommandments. He that saith, I knowhim, andkeepethnothiscommandments, isa liar, andthetruthisnotinhim. Butwhosokeepethhisword, inhimverilyis theloveof Godperfected: herebyknowwe thatwe areinhim. He that saithhe abidethinhimoughthimselfalsosoto walk, even ashewalked. Brethren, I writenonewcommandmentunto you, butan oldcommandmentwhichye hadfromthe beginning. Theoldcommandmentisthewordwhichye have heardfromthe beginning. Again, a newcommandmentI writeunto you, which thingistrueinhimandinyou: becausethedarknessis past, andthetruelightnowshineth. He that saithhe isinthelight, andhatethhisbrother, isindarknesseven untilnow. He that lovethhisbrotherabidethinthelight, andthere isnoneoccasion of stumblinginhim. Buthe that hatethhisbrotherisindarkness, andwalkethindarkness, andknowethnotwhitherhe goeth, becausethat darknesshath blindedhiseyes. I writeunto you, little children, becauseyour sinsare forgivenyoufor his name's sake. I writeunto you, fathers, becauseye have knownhim that is fromthe beginning. I writeunto you, young men, becauseye have overcomethewicked one. I writeunto you, little children, becauseye have knowntheFather. I have writtenunto you, fathers, becauseye have knownhim that is fromthe beginning. I have writtenunto you, young men, becauseye arestrong, andthewordof Godabidethinyou, andye have overcomethewicked one. Lovenottheworld, neitherthe things that are intheworld. Ifany manlovetheworld, theloveof theFatherisnotinhim. Forallthat is intheworld, thelustof theflesh, andthelustof theeyes, andtheprideof life, isnotoftheFather, butisoftheworld. Andtheworldpasseth away, andthelustthereof: buthe that doeththewillof Godabidethforever. Little children, it isthe lasttime: andasye have heardthatantichristshall come, evennowarethere manyantichrists; wherebywe knowthatit isthe lasttime. They went outfromus, butthey werenotofus: forifthey had beenofus, they would no doubt have continuedwithus: but they went out, thatthey might be made manifestthatthey werenotallofus. Butyehavean unctionfromtheHoly One, andye knowall things. I have notwrittenunto youbecauseye knownotthetruth, butbecauseye knowit, andthatnolieisofthetruth. Whoisa liarbuthe that denieththatJesusistheChrist? Heisantichrist, that denieththeFatherandtheSon. WhosoeverdenieththeSon, the same hathnottheFather: but he that acknowledgeththeSonhaththeFatheralso. Let that thereforeabideinyou, which yehave heardfromthe beginning. Ifthat whichye have heardfromthe beginningshall remaininyou, yealsoshall continueintheSon, andintheFather. Andthisisthepromisethathehath promisedus, even eternallife, These things have I writtenunto youconcerningthem that seduceyou. Buttheanointingwhichyehave receivedofhimabidethinyou, andye neednotthatany manteachyou: butasthesameanointingteachethyouofall things, andistruth, andisnolie, andeven asit hath taughtyou, ye shall abideinhim. Andnow, little children, abideinhim; that, whenhe shall appear, we may haveconfidence, andnotbe ashamedbeforehimathiscoming. Ifye knowthathe isrighteous, ye knowthatevery onethat doethrighteousnessis bornofhim.
