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.
