[1 Christ our advocate and propitiation. 3 To know God aright is to keep
his commandments, and love our brethren. 18 To beware of seducers.]
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 said 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 the 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 doth 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 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 doth righteousness is born of
him.
