BOOK 62

 FIRST LETTER OF JOHN

CHAPTER 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;
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;)
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.
4 And these things write we unto
you, that your joy may be full.
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.
6 If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the
truth:
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.
8 If we say that we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not
sinned, we make him a liar, and his
word is not in us.

CHAPTER 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 And he is the propitiation for
our sins: and not for ours only, but
also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we
know him, if we keep his
commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and
keepeth not his commandments, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in
him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are
in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in
him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.
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.
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.
9 He that saith he is in the
light, and hateth his brother, is in
darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother
abideth in the light, and there is
none occasion of stumbling in him.
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.
12 I write unto you, little
children, because your sins are
forgiven you for his name's sake.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17 And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for
ever.
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.
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.
20 But ye have an unction from
the Holy One, and ye know all things.
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.
22 Who is a liar but he that
denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He
is antichrist, that denieth the
Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son,
the same hath not the Father: (but)
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath
the Father also.
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.
25 And this is the promise that
he hath promised us, even eternal
life.
26 These things have I written
unto you concerning them that seduce
you.
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.
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.
29 If ye know that he is
righteous, ye know that every one
that doeth righteousness is born of
him.

CHAPTER 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.
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 And every man that hath this
hope in him purifieth himself, even
as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin
is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our sins; and
in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him
sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath
not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man
deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as
he is righteous.
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.
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.
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.
11 For this is the message that
ye heard from the beginning, that we
should love one another.
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.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if
the world hate you.
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.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother
is a murderer: and ye know that no
murderer hath eternal life abiding in
him.
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.
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?
18 My little children, let us
not love in word, neither in tongue;
but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we
are of the truth, and shall assure
our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us,
God is greater than our heart, and
knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn
us not, then have we confidence
toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we
receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do those things
that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the name of
his Son Jesus Christ, and love one
another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his
commandments dwelleth in him, and he
in him. And hereby we know that he
abideth in us, by the Spirit which he
hath given us.

CHAPTER 4
1 Beloved, believe not every
spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because many false
prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God: Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of God: and
this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should
come; and even now already is it in
the world.
4 Ye are of God, little
children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world:
therefore speak they of the world,
and the world heareth them.
6 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.
7 Beloved, let us love one
another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not
God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the
love of God toward us, because that
God sent his only begotten Son into
the world, that we might live through
him.
10 Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and
sent his Son to be the propitiation
for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any
time. If we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and his love is
perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell
in him, and he in us, because he hath
given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do
testify that the Father sent the Son
to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that
Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth
in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and
believed the love that God hath to
us. God is love; and he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God, and God in
him.
17 Herein is our love made
perfect, that we may have boldness in
the day of judgment: because as he
is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment. He that
feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first
loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and
hateth his brother, he is a liar: for
he that loveth not his brother whom
he hath seen, how can he love God
whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we
from him, That he who loveth God love
his brother also.

CHAPTER 5
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus
is the Christ is born of God: and
every one that loveth him that begat
loveth him also that is begotten of
him.
2 By this we know that we love
the children of God, when we love
God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God,
that we keep his commandments: and
his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the
world, but he that believeth that
Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water
and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by
water only, but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit that beareth
witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear
record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these
three are one.
8 And there are three that bear
witness in earth, the spirit, and the
water, and the blood: and these three
agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of
men, the witness of God is greater:
for this is the witness of God which
he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son
of God hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God hath made
him a liar; because he believeth not
the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life.
13 These things have I written
unto you that believe on the name of
the Son of God; that ye may know that
ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of
God.
14 And this is the confidence
that we have in him, that, if we ask
any thing according to his will, he
heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear
us, whatsoever we ask, we know that
we have the petitions that we desired
of him.
16 If any man see his brother
sin a sin which is not unto death, he
shall ask, and he shall give him life
for them that sin not unto death.
There is a sin unto death: I do not
say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin:
and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is
born of God sinneth not; but he that
is begotten of God keepeth himself,
and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of
God, and the whole world lieth in
wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of
God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know him
that is true, and we are in him that
is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal life.
21 Little children, keep
yourselves from idols. Amen.
