This then is the message which wee haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenes.

But hee that keepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede: hereby wee knowe that ye are in him.

I haue written vnto you, fathers, because ye haue knowen him, that is from the beginning. I haue written vnto you, yong men, because ye are strong, and the worde of God abideth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wicked one.

And this world passeth away, & the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth euer.

Beholde, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.

Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is.

He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil.

Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God.

In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother.

And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, & shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him?

For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.

Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God.

Dearely beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits whether they are of God: for many false prophets are gone out into this worlde.

Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, Euery spirit which confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.

And euery spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whome ye haue heard, how that he should come, and nowe already he is in this world.

Litle children, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in this world.

We are of God, he that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Heereby knowe wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.

Beloued, let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God, & euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God.

Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.

Herein was that loue of God made manifest amongst vs, because God sent that his onely begotten sonne into this world, that we might liue through him.
