Looking for and hastning the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

And this is the message which we have heard of him and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

But whoso keepeth his word, verily in him the love of God is perfected: hereby we know that we are in him.

I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

And the world passeth away, and the desire thereof; but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning: to this end the son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed abideth in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Hereby the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil: whosoever practiseth not righteousness is not of God; neither he that loveth not his brother.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

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

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby ye know the spirit of God: every spirit which confesseth Jesus Christ come in the flesh, is of God.

And every spirit which confesseth not Jesus Christ come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and now already it is in the world.

Ye are of God, beloved children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

We are of God; he that knoweth God, heareth us: he that is not of God, heareth not us: hereby know we the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
