WhosoeverbelieveththatJesusistheChristis bornofGod: andevery onethat lovethhim that begatlovethhim also that is begottenofhim. Bythiswe knowthatwe lovethechildrenof God, whenwe loveGod, andkeephiscommandments. Forthisistheloveof God, thatwe keephiscommandments: andhiscommandmentsarenotgrievous. Forwhatsoeveris bornofGodovercomeththeworld: andthisisthevictorythat overcomeththeworld, even ourfaith. Whoishe that overcomeththeworld, buthe that believeththatJesusistheSonof God? Thisishe that camebywaterandblood, even JesusChrist; notbywateronly, butbywaterandblood. Andit istheSpiritthat beareth witness, becausetheSpiritistruth. Forthere arethreethat bear recordinheaven, theFather, theWord, andtheHolyGhost: andthesethreeareone. Andthere arethreethat bear witnessinearth, thespirit, andthewater, andtheblood: andthese threeagreeinone. Ifwe receivethewitnessof men, thewitnessof Godisgreater: forthisisthewitnessof Godwhichhe hath testifiedofhisSon. He that believethontheSonof Godhaththewitnessinhimself: he that believethnotGodhath madehima liar; becausehe believethnottherecordthatGodgaveofhisSon. Andthisistherecord, thatGodhath givento useternallife, andthislifeisinhisSon. He that haththeSonhathlife: and he that hathnottheSonof Godhathnotlife. These thingshave I writtenunto youthat believeonthenameof theSonof God; thatye may knowthatye haveeternallife, andthatye may believeonthenameof theSonof God. Andthisistheconfidencethatwe haveinhim, that, ifwe askany thingaccordingto hiswill, he hearethus: Andifwe knowthathe hearus, whatsoeverwe ask, we knowthatwe havethepetitionsthatwe desiredofhim. Ifany manseehisbrothersina sin which is notuntodeath, he shall ask, andhe shall givehimlifefor them that sinnotuntodeath. There isa sinuntodeath: I do notsaythathe shall prayforit. Allunrighteousnessissin: andthere isa sinnotuntodeath. We knowthatwhosoeveris bornofGodsinnethnot; buthe that is begottenofGodkeepethhimself, andthat wicked onetouchethhimnot. And we knowthatwe areofGod, andthewholeworldliethinwickedness. Andwe knowthattheSonof Godis come, andhath givenusan understanding, thatwe may knowhim that is true, andwe areinhim that is true, even inhisSonJesusChrist. ThisisthetrueGod, andeternallife. Little children, keepyourselvesfromidols. Amen.
