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
2
And he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world
3
And hereby we do know 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 whoso keepeth his word in him verily is the love of God perfected hereby know we that we are in him
6
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk even as he walked
7
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
8
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
9
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even until now
10
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light and there is none occasion of stumbling 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
I write unto you little children 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 the 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 the wicked one
15
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
16
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
17
And the world passeth away and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of God abideth for 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 would no doubt have continued with us but they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us
20
But ye have an unction from the Holy One and ye 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 the Christ He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son
23
Whosoever denieth the Son the same hath not the Father but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also
24
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
25
And this is the promise that he hath promised us even eternal life
26
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you
27
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
28
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
29
If ye know that he is righteous ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him
