1 John

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our"s only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

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:

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

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.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

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.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

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.

(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;)

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;
