1John:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
* (
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 ;)
*
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 .
*
And these things write we unto you ,
that your joy may be full .
*
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 .
*
If we say that we have fellowship with him ,
and walk in darkness ,
we lie ,
and do not the truth :
*
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 .
*
If we say that we have no sin ,
we deceive ourselves ,
and the truth is not in us .
*
If we confess our sins ,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins ,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness .
*
If we say that we have not sinned ,
we make him a liar ,
and his word is not in us .
*
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 :
*
And he is the propitiation for our sins :
and not for ours only ,
but also for the sins of the whole world .
*
And hereby we do know that we know him ,
if we keep his commandments .
*
He that saith ,
I know him ,
and keepeth not his commandments ,
is a liar ,
and the truth is not in him .
*
But whoso keepeth his word ,
in him verily is the love of God perfected :
hereby know we that we are in him .
*
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk ,
even as he walked .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
He that saith he is in the light ,
and hateth his brother ,
is in darkness even until now .
*
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light ,
and there is none occasion of stumbling in him .
*
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 .
*
I write unto you ,
little children ,
because your sins are forgiven you for his name '
s sake .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the world passeth away ,
and the lust thereof :
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But ye have an unction from the Holy One ,
and ye know all things .
*
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 .
*
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ ?
He is antichrist ,
that denieth the Father and the Son .
*
Whosoever denieth the Son ,
the same hath not the Father : (
but )
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also .
*
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 .
*
And this is the promise that he hath promised us ,
even eternal life .
*
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
If ye know that he is righteous ,
ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself ,
even as he is pure .
*
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law :
for sin is the transgression of the law .
*
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins ;
and in him is no sin .
*
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not :
whosoever sinneth hath not seen him ,
neither known him .
*
Little children ,
let no man deceive you :
he that doeth righteousness is righteous ,
even as he is righteous .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning ,
that we should love one another .
*
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 .
*
Marvel not ,
my brethren ,
if the world hate you .
*
We know that we have passed from death unto life ,
because we love the brethren .
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death .
*
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer :
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
My little children ,
let us not love in word ,
neither in tongue ;
but in deed and in truth .
*
And hereby we know that we are of the truth ,
and shall assure our hearts before him .
*
For if our heart condemn us ,
God is greater than our heart ,
and knoweth all things .
*
Beloved ,
if our heart condemn us not ,
then have we confidence toward God .
*
And whatsoever we ask ,
we receive of him ,
because we keep his commandments ,
and do those things that are pleasing in his sight .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Beloved ,
believe not every spirit ,
but try the spirits whether they are of God :
because many false prophets are gone out into the world .
*
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God :
Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God :
*
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God :
and this is that spirit of antichrist ,
whereof ye have heard that it should come ;
and even now already is it in the world .
*
Ye are of God ,
little children ,
and have overcome them :
because greater is he that is in you ,
than he that is in the world .
*
They are of the world :
therefore speak they of the world ,
and the world heareth them .
*
We are of God :
he that knoweth God heareth us ;
he that is not of God heareth not us .
Hereby know we the spirit of truth ,
and the spirit of error .
*
Beloved ,
let us love one another :
for love is of God ;
and every one that loveth is born of God ,
and knoweth God .
*
He that loveth not knoweth not God ;
for God is love .
*
In this was manifested the love of God toward us ,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world ,
that we might live through him .
*
Herein is love ,
not that we loved God ,
but that he loved us ,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins .
*
Beloved ,
if God so loved us ,
we ought also to love one another .
*
No man hath seen God at any time .
If we love one another ,
God dwelleth in us ,
and his love is perfected in us .
*
Hereby know we that we dwell in him ,
and he in us ,
because he hath given us of his Spirit .
*
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world .
*
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God ,
God dwelleth in him ,
and he in God .
*
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us .
God is love ;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God ,
and God in him .
*
Herein is our love made perfect ,
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment :
because as he is ,
so are we in this world .
*
There is no fear in love ;
but perfect love casteth out fear :
because fear hath torment .
He that feareth is not made perfect in love .
*
We love him ,
because he first loved us .
*
If a man say ,
I love God ,
and hateth his brother ,
he is a liar :
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen ,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?
*
And this commandment have we from him ,
That he who loveth God love his brother also .
*
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God :
and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him .
*
By this we know that we love the children of God ,
when we love God ,
and keep his commandments .
*
For this is the love of God ,
that we keep his commandments :
and his commandments are not grievous .
*
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world :
and this is the victory that overcometh the world ,
even our faith .
*
Who is he that overcometh the world ,
but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ?
*
This is he that came by water and blood ,
even Jesus Christ ;
not by water only ,
but by water and blood .
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness ,
because the Spirit is truth .
*
For there are three that bear record in heaven ,
the Father ,
the Word ,
and the Holy Ghost :
and these three are one .
*
And there are three that bear witness in earth ,
the Spirit ,
and the water ,
and the blood :
and these three agree in one .
*
If we receive the witness of men ,
the witness of God is greater :
for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son .
*
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself :
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar ;
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son .
*
And this is the record ,
that God hath given to us eternal life ,
and this life is in his Son .
*
He that hath the Son hath life ;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life .
*
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God ;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life ,
and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God .
*
And this is the confidence that we have in him ,
that ,
if we ask any thing according to his will ,
he heareth us :
*
And if we know that he hear us ,
whatsoever we ask ,
we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him .
*
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death ,
he shall ask ,
and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death .
There is a sin unto death :
I do not say that he shall pray for it .
*
All unrighteousness is sin :
and there is a sin not unto death .
*
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not ;
but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself ,
and that wicked one toucheth him not .
*
And we know that we are of God ,
and the whole world lieth in wickedness .
*
And we know that the Son of God is come ,
and hath given us an understanding ,
that we may know him that is true ,
and we are in him that is true ,
even in his Son Jesus Christ .
This is the true God ,
and eternal life .
*
Little children ,
keep yourselves from idols .
Amen .
