I JOHN CHAPTER V.

[He that loveth God loveth his children, and keepeth his commandments. 
4 True faith will overcome the world. 11 Believers have eternal life through 
Christ; 18 they are distinguished from the world by abstaining from sin,
and by a right knowledge of God.]

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 spirit, and the water, and the blood: 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 anything according to his will,
he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever 
we ask, we know that even 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, kept 
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.

I JOHN CHAPTER IV.

[1 He warneth them not to believe all teachers who boast of the Spirit but to 
try them by the rules of the catholic faith; 7 and by many reasons exhorteth 
to brotherly love.]

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 dewelleth 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.

I JOHN CHAPTER III

[1 He declareth the singular love of God toward us in making us his sons; 
3 we therefore ought obediently to keep his commandments...]

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 doth 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 manifested, and 
the children of the devil: whosoever doth not 
righteousness 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 Whosover 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.
