in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15
And account
that
the longsuffering of our Lord
is
salvation;
even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto
you;
16
As also in all
his
epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard
to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as
they do
also the other
scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know
these things
before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18
But grow in grace, and
in
the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him
be
glory
both now and for ever. Amen.
The First Epistle General of
John
CHAPTER JOHN 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 JOHN 2
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
