1 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 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.
