* My little children , these things I write to you , that you may not sin . And if someone should sin , we have an Advocate with the Father , Jesus Christ the righteous . * And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins , and not only concerning ours , but also concerning [those ] of the whole world . * Now by this we know that we have come to know Him , if we keep His commandments . * He who says , "I have come to know Him ,"and does not keep His commandments , is a liar , and the truth is not in him . * But whoever keeps His word , truly the love of God is perfected in him . By this we know that we are in Him . * He who claims to abide in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked . * Brothers , I am not writing a new commandment to you , but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning . The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning . * Again , a new commandment I am writing to you , which [thing ] is true in Him and in you , because the darkness is passing away , and the true light already shines . * He who says that he is in the light , and hates his brother , is in darkness until now . * He who loves his brother abides in the light , and there is no cause for stumbling in him . * But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness , and does not know where he is going , because the darkness has blinded his eyes . * I am writing to you , little children , because your sins have been forgiven you on account of His name . * I am writing to you , fathers , because you have come to know Him [ who is ] from the beginning . I am writing to you , young men , because you have overcome the evil [one ]. I am writing to you , little children , because you have come to know the Father . * I wrote to you , fathers , because you have come to know Him [ who is ] from the beginning . I wrote to you , young men , because you are strong , and the word of God abides in you , and you have overcome the evil [one ]. * Do not love the world nor the things in the world . If anyone loves the world , the love of the Father is not in him . * Because everything that is in the world-the lust of the flesh , and the lust of the eyes , and the pride of life-is not from the Father but is from the world . * And the world is passing away , and its lust ; but he who does the will of God abides forever . * Little children , it is the last hour ; and just as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming , even now many antichrists have appeared ; from this we know that it is the last hour . * They went out from us , but they were not of us ; for if they had been of us , they would have remained with us ; but [they went out ] in order that they might be made manifest , that none of them were of us . * But you have an anointing from the Holy One , and you know all things . * I did not write to you because you do not know the truth , but because you know it , and because no lie is of the truth . * Who is a liar but the [one ] who denies that Jesus is the Christ ? This is the antichrist , the [one ] who denies the Father and the Son . * Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either . * Therefore let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you . If what you heard from the beginning abides in you , you also will abide in the Son and in the Father . * And this is the promise which He Himself promised to you-eternal life . * These things I wrote to you concerning those who deceive you . * And [as for ] you , the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you , and you have no need that anyone teach you ; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things , and is true , and is not a lie , and just as it has taught you , you will abide in Him . * And now , little children , abide in Him , in order that when He appears , we may have confidence and not be ashamed due to Him at His coming . * If you know that He is righteous , you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him .
