CHAPTER JOHN 3
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 doeth 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 manifest, and the children of the
devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not 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
Whosoever
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.
CHAPTER JOHN 4
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
