I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world.

And the world passeth away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever.

They went out from us but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us: but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us.

As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you: but as his unction teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.

He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Whosoever is born of God committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

For this is the declaration which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.

In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things.

Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for charity is of God. And every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is charity.

In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

If any man say: I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not?

For this is the charity of God: That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory which overcameth the world: Our faith.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.

He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask: and life shall be given to him who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death. For that I say not that any man ask.

For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us and shall be with us for ever.
