1 That which was from the
beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen
with these our eyes, which
we have looked upon, and
these hands of ours have
handled of that Word of
life,
2 (For that life was made
manifest, and we have seen
it, and bear witness, and
shew unto you that eternal
life, which was with the
Father, and was made
manifest unto us)
3 That, I say, which
we have seen and heard,
declare we unto you, that ye
may also have fellowship
with us, and that our
fellowship also may be with
the Father, and with his Son
Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we
unto you, that that your joy
may be full.
5 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.
6 If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and
walk in darkness, we lie,
and do not truly:
7 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.
8 If we say that we have no
sin, we deceive ourselves,
and truth is not in us.
9 If we acknowledge our
sins, he is faithful and
just, to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not
sinned, we make him a liar,
and his word is not in us.
1 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 Just.
2 And he is the
reconciliation for our sins:
and not for ours only, but
also for the sins of
the whole world.
3 And hereby we are sure
that we know him, if we keep
his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him,
and keepeth not his
commandments, is a liar, and
the truth is not in him.
5 But he that keepeth his
word, in him is the love of
God perfect indeed: hereby
we know that ye are in him.
6 He that saith he remaineth
in him, ought even so to
walk, as he hath walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new
commandment unto you: but an
old commandment, which ye
have had from the beginning:
this old commandment is that
word, which ye have heard
from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I
write unto you, that which
is true in him, and also in
you: for the darkness is
past, and that true light
now shineth.
9 He that saith that he is
in that light, and hateth
his brother, is in darkness,
until this time.
10 He that loveth his
brother, abideth in that
light, and there is none
occasion of evil in him.
11 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.
12 Little children, I write
unto you, because your sins
are forgiven you for his
Name's sake.
13 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 that wicked one. I
write unto you, little
children, because ye have
known the Father.
14 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 that wicked
one.
15 Love not this world,
neither the things that are
in this world. If any man
love this world, the love of
the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in this
world (as the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life)
is not of the Father, but is
of this world.
17 And this world passeth
away, and the lust thereof:
but he that fulfilleth the
will of God, abideth ever.
18 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.
19 They went out from us,
but they were not of us: for
if they had been of us, they
should have continued with
us. But this cometh to
pass, that it might
appear, that they are not
all of us.
20 But ye have an ointment
from that Holy one, and know
all things.
21 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.
22 Who is a liar, but he
that denieth that Jesus is
that Christ? the same is
that Antichrist that denieth
the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the
Son, the same hath not the
Father.
24 Let therefore abide in
you that same 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.
25 And this is the promise
that he hath promised us,
even that eternal life.
26 These things have I
written unto you, concerning
them that deceive you.
27 But that anointing which
ye received of him, dwelleth
in you: and ye need not that
any man teach you: but as
the same Anointing teacheth
you of all things, and it is
true, and is not lying, and
as it taught you, ye shall
abide in him.
28 And now, little children,
abide in him, that when he
shall appear, we may be
bold, and not be ashamed
before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is
righteous, know ye that he
which doth righteously, is
born of him.
1 Behold, what love the
Father hath given to us,
that we should be called the
sons of God: for this cause
this world knoweth you not,
because it knoweth not him.
2 Dearly beloved, now are we
the sons of God, but yet it
is not made manifest what we
shall be: and we know that
when he shall be made
manifest, we shall be like
him: for we shall see him as
he is.
3 And every man that hath
this hope in him, purgeth
himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin,
transgresseth also the Law:
for sin is the transgression
of the Law.
5 And ye know that he was
made manifest, that he might
take away our sins, and in
him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him,
sinneth not: whosoever
sinneth, hath not seen him,
neither hath known him.
7 Little children, let no
man deceive you: he that
doth righteousness, is
righteous, as he is
righteous.
8 He that committeth sin, is
of the devil: for the devil
sinneth from the beginning:
for this purpose was made
manifest that Son of God,
that he might loose the
works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God,
sinneth not: for his seed
remaineth in him, neither
can he sin, because he is
born of God.
10 In this are the children
of God known, and the
children of the devil:
whosoever doth not
righteousness, is not of
God, neither he that loveth
not his brother.
11 For this is the message,
that ye heard from the
beginning, that we should
love one another,
12 Not as Cain which
was of that wicked one, and
slew his brother: and
wherefore slew he him?
because his own works were
evil, and his brothers good.
13 Marvel not, my brethren,
though this world hate you.
14 We know that we are
translated from death unto
life, because we love the
brethren: he that loveth not
his brother, abideth
in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his
brother, is a manslayer: and
ye know that no manslayer
hath eternal life abiding in
him.
16 Hereby have we perceived
love, that he laid down his
life for us: therefore we
ought also to lay down
our lives for the
brethren.
17 And whosoever hath this
world's good, and seeth his
brother have need, and
shutteth up his compassion
from him, how dwelleth the
love of God in him?
18 My little children, let
us not love in word, neither
in tongue only, but
in deed and in truth.
19 For thereby we know that
we are of the truth, and
shall before him assure our
hearts.
20 For if our heart condemn
us, God is greater then our
heart, and knoweth all
things.
21 Beloved, if our heart
condemn us not, then have we
boldness toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask we
receive of him, because we
keep his commandments, and
do those things which are
pleasing in his sight.
23 This is then his
commandment, That we believe
in the Name of his Son Jesus
Christ, and love one another
as he gave commandment.
24 For he that keepeth his
commandments, dwelleth in
him, and he in him: and
hereby we know that he
abideth in us, even
by that Spirit which he hath
given us.
1 Dearly beloved, believe
not every spirit, but try
the spirits whether they are
of God: for many false
prophets are gone out into
this world.
2 Hereby shall ye know the
Spirit of God, Every spirit
which confesseth that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh,
is of God.
3 And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh,
is not of God: but this is
the spirit of
Antichrist, of whom ye have
heard, how that he should
come, and now already he is
in this world.
4 Little children, ye are of
God, and have overcome them:
for greater is he that is in
you, then he that is in this
world.
5 They are of this world,
therefore speak they of this
world,
and this world heareth them.
6 We are of God, he that
knoweth God, heareth us: he
that is not of God, heareth
us not. Heereby know we the
spirit of truth, and the
spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one
another: for love cometh of
God, and every one that
loveth, is born of God, and
knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not,
knoweth not God: for God is
love.
9 Herein was that love of
God made manifest amongst
us, because God sent that
his only begotten son into
this world, that we might
live through him.
10 Herein is that love, not
that we loved God, but that
he loved us, and sent his
Son to be a
reconciliation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved
us, we ought also to love
one another.
12 No man hath seen God at
any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfect in
us.
13 Hereby know we, that we
dwell in him, and he in us:
because he hath given us of
his Spirit.
14 And we have seen, and do
testify, that the Father
sent that Son to be
the Savior of the world.
15 Whosoever confesseth that
Jesus is the Son of God, in
him dwelleth God, and he in
God.
16 And we have known, and
believed the love that God
hath in us. God is love, and
he that dwelleth in love,
dwelleth in God, and God in
him.
17 Herein is that love
perfect in us, that we
should have boldness
in the day of judgment: for
as he is, even so are we in
this world.
18 There is no fear in love,
but perfect love casteth out
fear: for fear hath
painfulness: and he that
feareth, is not perfect in
love.
19 We love him, because he
loved us first.
20 If any man say, I love
God, and hate his brother,
he is a liar: for how can he
that loveth not his brother
whom he hath seen, love God
whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have
we of him, that he that
loveth God,
should love his brother
also.
1 Whosoeuer believeth that
Jesus is that Christ, is
born of God:and every one
that loveth him, which
begat, loveth him also which
is begotten of him.
2 In this we know that we
love the children of God,
when we love God, and keep
his commandments.
3 For this is the love of
God, that we keep his
commandments: and his
commandments are not
burdenous.
4 For all that is born of
God, overcometh this world:
and this is that victory
that hath overcome this
world, even our
faith.
5 Who is it that overcometh
this world, but he which
believeth that Jesus is that
Son of God?
6 This is that Jesus Christ
that came by water and
blood: not by water only,
but by water and blood: and
it is that Spirit, that
beareth witness: for that
Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three, which
bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the
holy Ghost: and these three
are one.
8 And there are three, which
bear record in the earth,
the spirit, and the water
and the blood: and these
three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness
of men, the witness of God
is greater: for this is the
witness of God, which he
testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth in that
Son of God, hath the witness
in himself: he that
believeth not God, hath made
him a liar, because he
believed not the record,
that God witnessed of that
his Son.
11 And this is that record,
to wit, that God hath
given unto us eternal life,
and this life is in that his
Son.
12 He that hath that Son,
hath that life: and he that
hath not that Son of God,
hath not that life.
13 These things have I
written unto you, that
believe in the Name of that
Son of God, that ye may know
that ye have eternal life,
and that ye may believe in
the Name of that Son of God.
14 And this is that
assurance, that we have in
him, that if we ask anything
according to his will, he
heareth us.
15 And if we know that he
heareth us, whatsoever we
ask, we know that we have
the petitions, that we have
desired of him.
16 If any man see his
brother sin a sin that is
not unto death, let him ask,
and he shall give him life
for them that sin not unto
death. There is a sin unto
death: I say not that thou
shouldest pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is
sin, but there is a sin not
unto death.
18 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.
19 We know that we are of
God, and this whole world
lieth in wickedness.
20 But we know that that Son
of God is come, and hath
give us a mind to know him,
which is true: and we are in
him that is true, that is,
in that his Son Jesus
Christ: this same is that
very God, and that eternal
life.
21 Little children, keep
yourselves from idols, Amen. |
