1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon,
and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and
bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was
with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that
ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship
[is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be
full.
1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness
at all.
1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and
his word is not in us.
2:1 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:
2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to
walk, even as he walked.
2:7 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.
2:8 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.
2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is
in darkness even until now.
2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there
is none occasion of stumbling in him.
2:11 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.
2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for his name's sake.
2:13 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.
2:14 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.
2:15 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.
2:16 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.
2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
2:18 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.
2:19 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.
2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
things.
2:21 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.
2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
[(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].
2:24 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.
2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even]
eternal life.
2:26 These [things] have I written unto you concerning them that
seduce you.
2:27 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.
2:28 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.
2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one
that doeth righteousness is born of him.
3:1 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.
3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.
3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin
is the transgression of the law.
3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins;
and in him is no sin.
3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath
not seen him, neither known him.
3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another.
3:12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his
brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were
evil, and his brother's righteous.
3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because
we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth
in death.
3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know
that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
3:16 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.
3:17 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?
3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth.
3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall
assure our hearts before him.
3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart,
and knoweth all things.
3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we
confidence toward God.
3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep
his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
sight.
3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the
name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one anoth
