My beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one hath ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Whoever confesseth Jesus to be the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he abideth in God.

And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God.

Let us, therefore, love God; because he hath first loved us.

And if any one shall say, I love God, and yet hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother who is visible, how can he love God who is invisible?

And this command we have received from him, that whoever loveth God, must love also his brother.

Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God. And whoever loveth the begetter, loveth him also that is begotten of him.

And by this we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and follow his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.

Because, whoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.

For who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the testimony of men, how much greater is the testimony of God? And this is the testimony of God, which he hath testified concerning his Son.

Whoever believeth in the Son of God, hath this testimony in himself. And whoever believeth not God, hath made him a liar, by not believing the testimony which God hath testified concerning his Son.

And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us life eternal, and this life is in his Son.

These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, ye who believe in the name of the Son of God.

And we know, that every one who is born of God, sinneth not: for he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.

We know, that we are of God; and all the world is reposing on the evil one.

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal.

May grace be with you, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
