John:19-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus ,
and scourged him .
*
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns ,
and put it on his head ,
and they put on him a purple robe ,
*
And said ,
Hail ,
King of the Jews !
and they smote him with their hands .
*
Pilate therefore went forth again ,
and saith unto them ,
Behold ,
I bring him forth to you ,
that ye may know that I find no fault in him .
*
Then came Jesus forth ,
wearing the crown of thorns ,
and the purple robe .
And Pilate saith unto them ,
Behold the man !
*
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him ,
they cried out ,
saying ,
Crucify him ,
crucify him .
Pilate saith unto them ,
Take ye him ,
and crucify him :
for I find no fault in him .
*
The Jews answered him ,
We have a law ,
and by our law he ought to die ,
because he made himself the Son of God .
*
When Pilate therefore heard that saying ,
he was the more afraid ;
*
And went again into the judgment hall ,
and saith unto Jesus ,
Whence art thou ?
But Jesus gave him no answer .
*
Then saith Pilate unto him ,
Speakest thou not unto me ?
knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee ,
and have power to release thee ?
*
Jesus answered ,
Thou couldest have no power at all against me ,
except it were given thee from above :
therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin .
*
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him :
but the Jews cried out ,
saying ,
If thou let this man go ,
thou art not Caesar '
s friend :
whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar .
*
When Pilate therefore heard that saying ,
he brought Jesus forth ,
and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement ,
but in the Hebrew ,
Gabbatha .
*
And it was the preparation of the passover ,
and about the sixth hour :
and he saith unto the Jews ,
Behold your King !
*
But they cried out ,
Away with him ,
away with him ,
crucify him .
Pilate saith unto them ,
Shall I crucify your King ?
The chief priests answered ,
We have no king but Caesar .
*
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified .
And they took Jesus ,
and led him away .
*
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull ,
which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha :
*
Where they crucified him ,
and two other with him ,
on either side one ,
and Jesus in the midst .
*
And Pilate wrote a title ,
and put it on the cross .
And the writing was ,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS .
*
This title then read many of the Jews :
for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city :
and it was written in Hebrew ,
and Greek ,
and Latin .
*
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate ,
Write not ,
The King of the Jews ;
but that he said ,
I am King of the Jews .
*
Pilate answered ,
What I have written I have written .
*
Then the soldiers ,
when they had crucified Jesus ,
took his garments ,
and made four parts ,
to every soldier a part ;
and also his coat :
now the coat was without seam ,
woven from the top throughout .
*
They said therefore among themselves ,
Let us not rend it ,
but cast lots for it ,
whose it shall be :
that the scripture might be fulfilled ,
which saith ,
They parted my raiment among them ,
and for my vesture they did cast lots .
These things therefore the soldiers did .
*
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother ,
and his mother '
s sister ,
Mary the wife of Cleophas ,
and Mary Magdalene .
*
When Jesus therefore saw his mother ,
and the disciple standing by ,
whom he loved ,
he saith unto his mother ,
Woman ,
behold thy son !
*
Then saith he to the disciple ,
Behold thy mother !
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home .
*
After this ,
Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished ,
that the scripture might be fulfilled ,
saith ,
I thirst .
*
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar :
and they filled a spunge with vinegar ,
and put it upon hyssop ,
and put it to his mouth .
*
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar ,
he said ,
It is finished :
and he bowed his head ,
and gave up the ghost .
*
The Jews therefore ,
because it was the preparation ,
that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day , (
for that sabbath day was an high day ,)
besought Pilate that their legs might be broken ,
and that they might be taken away .
*
Then came the soldiers ,
and brake the legs of the first ,
and of the other which was crucified with him .
*
But when they came to Jesus ,
and saw that he was dead already ,
they brake not his legs :
*
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side ,
and forthwith came there out blood and water .
*
And he that saw it bare record ,
and his record is true :
and he knoweth that he saith true ,
that ye might believe .
*
For these things were done ,
that the scripture should be fulfilled ,
A bone of him shall not be broken .
*
And again another scripture saith ,
They shall look on him whom they pierced .
*
And after this Joseph of Arimathaea ,
being a disciple of Jesus ,
but secretly for fear of the Jews ,
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus :
and Pilate gave him leave .
He came therefore ,
and took the body of Jesus .
*
And there came also Nicodemus ,
which at the first came to Jesus by night ,
and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes ,
about an hundred pound weight .
*
Then took they the body of Jesus ,
and wound it in linen clothes with the spices ,
as the manner of the Jews is to bury .
*
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden ;
and in the garden a new sepulchre ,
wherein was never man yet laid .
*
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews '
preparation day ;
for the sepulchre was nigh at hand .
*
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early ,
when it was yet dark ,
unto the sepulchre ,
and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre .
*
Then she runneth ,
and cometh to Simon Peter ,
and to the other disciple ,
whom Jesus loved ,
and saith unto them ,
They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre ,
and we know not where they have laid him .
*
Peter therefore went forth ,
and that other disciple ,
and came to the sepulchre .
*
So they ran both together :
and the other disciple did outrun Peter ,
and came first to the sepulchre .
*
And he stooping down ,
and looking in ,
saw the linen clothes lying ;
yet went he not in .
*
Then cometh Simon Peter following him ,
and went into the sepulchre ,
and seeth the linen clothes lie ,
*
And the napkin ,
that was about his head ,
not lying with the linen clothes ,
but wrapped together in a place by itself .
*
Then went in also that other disciple ,
which came first to the sepulchre ,
and he saw ,
and believed .
*
For as yet they knew not the scripture ,
that he must rise again from the dead .
*
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home .
*
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping :
and as she wept ,
she stooped down ,
and looked into the sepulchre ,
*
And seeth two angels in white sitting ,
the one at the head ,
and the other at the feet ,
where the body of Jesus had lain .
*
And they say unto her ,
Woman ,
why weepest thou ?
She saith unto them ,
Because they have taken away my Lord ,
and I know not where they have laid him .
*
And when she had thus said ,
she turned herself back ,
and saw Jesus standing ,
and knew not that it was Jesus .
*
Jesus saith unto her ,
Woman ,
why weepest thou ?
whom seekest thou ?
She ,
supposing him to be the gardener ,
saith unto him ,
Sir ,
if thou have borne him hence ,
tell me where thou hast laid him ,
and I will take him away .
*
Jesus saith unto her ,
Mary .
She turned herself ,
and saith unto him ,
Rabboni ;
which is to say ,
Master .
*
Jesus saith unto her ,
Touch me not ;
for I am not yet ascended to my Father :
but go to my brethren ,
and say unto them ,
I ascend unto my Father ,
and your Father ;
and to my God ,
and your God .
*
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord ,
and that he had spoken these things unto her .
*
Then the same day at evening ,
being the first day of the week ,
when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews ,
came Jesus and stood in the midst ,
and saith unto them ,
Peace be unto you .
*
And when he had so said ,
he shewed unto them his hands and his side .
Then were the disciples glad ,
when they saw the Lord .
*
Then said Jesus to them again ,
Peace be unto you :
as my Father hath sent me ,
even so send I you .
*
And when he had said this ,
he breathed on them ,
and saith unto them ,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost :
*
Whose soever sins ye remit ,
they are remitted unto them ;
and whose soever sins ye retain ,
they are retained .
*
But Thomas ,
one of the twelve ,
called Didymus ,
was not with them when Jesus came .
*
The other disciples therefore said unto him ,
We have seen the Lord .
But he said unto them ,
Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails ,
and put my finger into the print of the nails ,
and thrust my hand into his side ,
I will not believe .
*
And after eight days again his disciples were within ,
and Thomas with them :
then came Jesus ,
the doors being shut ,
and stood in the midst ,
and said ,
Peace be unto you .
*
Then saith he to Thomas ,
Reach hither thy finger ,
and behold my hands ;
and reach hither thy hand ,
and thrust it into my side :
and be not faithless ,
but believing .
*
And Thomas answered and said unto him ,
My Lord and my God .
*
Jesus saith unto him ,
Thomas ,
because thou hast seen me ,
thou hast believed :
blessed are they that have not seen ,
and yet have believed .
*
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples ,
which are not written in this book :
*
But these are written ,
that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ ,
the Son of God ;
and that believing ye might have life through his name .
*
After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias ;
and on this wise shewed he himself .
*
There were together Simon Peter ,
and Thomas called Didymus ,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee ,
and the sons of Zebedee ,
and two other of his disciples .
*
Simon Peter saith unto them ,
I go a fishing .
They say unto him ,
We also go with thee .
They went forth ,
and entered into a ship immediately ;
and that night they caught nothing .
*
But when the morning was now come ,
Jesus stood on the shore :
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus .
*
Then Jesus saith unto them ,
Children ,
have ye any meat ?
They answered him ,
No .
*
And he said unto them ,
Cast the net on the right side of the ship ,
and ye shall find .
They cast therefore ,
and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes .
*
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter ,
It is the Lord .
Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord ,
he girt his fisher '
s coat unto him , (
for he was naked ,)
and did cast himself into the sea .
*
And the other disciples came in a little ship ; (
for they were not far from land ,
but as it were two hundred cubits ,)
dragging the net with fishes .
*
As soon then as they were come to land ,
they saw a fire of coals there ,
and fish laid thereon ,
and bread .
*
Jesus saith unto them ,
Bring of the fish which ye have now caught .
*
Simon Peter went up ,
and drew the net to land full of great fishes ,
an hundred and fifty and three :
and for all there were so many ,
yet was not the net broken .
*
Jesus saith unto them ,
Come and dine .
And none of the disciples durst ask him ,
Who art thou ?
knowing that it was the Lord .
*
Jesus then cometh ,
and taketh bread ,
and giveth them ,
and fish likewise .
*
This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples ,
after that he was risen from the dead .
*
So when they had dined ,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter ,
Simon ,
son of Jonas ,
lovest thou me more than these ?
He saith unto him ,
Yea ,
Lord ;
thou knowest that I love thee .
He saith unto him ,
Feed my lambs .
*
He saith to him again the second time ,
Simon ,
son of Jonas ,
lovest thou me ?
He saith unto him ,
Yea ,
Lord ;
thou knowest that I love thee .
He saith unto him ,
Feed my sheep .
*
He saith unto him the third time ,
Simon ,
son of Jonas ,
lovest thou me ?
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time ,
Lovest thou me ?
And he said unto him ,
Lord ,
thou knowest all things ;
thou knowest that I love thee .
Jesus saith unto him ,
Feed my sheep .
*
Verily ,
verily ,
I say unto thee ,
When thou wast young ,
thou girdedst thyself ,
and walkedst whither thou wouldest :
but when thou shalt be old ,
thou shalt stretch forth thy hands ,
and another shall gird thee ,
and carry thee whither thou wouldest not .
*
This spake he ,
signifying by what death he should glorify God .
And when he had spoken this ,
he saith unto him ,
Follow me .
*
Then Peter ,
turning about ,
seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following ;
which also leaned on his breast at supper ,
and said ,
Lord ,
which is he that betrayeth thee ?
*
Peter seeing him saith to Jesus ,
Lord ,
and what shall this man do ?
*
Jesus saith unto him ,
If I will that he tarry till I come ,
what is that to thee ?
follow thou me .
*
Then went this saying abroad among the brethren ,
that that disciple should not die :
yet Jesus said not unto him ,
He shall not die ;
but ,
If I will that he tarry till I come ,
what is that to thee ?
*
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things ,
and wrote these things :
and we know that his testimony is true .
*
And there are also many other things which Jesus did ,
the which ,
if they should be written every one ,
I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written .
Amen .
*
For John truly baptized with water ;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence .
*
And when they were come in ,
they went up into an upper room ,
where abode both Peter ,
and James ,
and John ,
and Andrew ,
Philip ,
and Thomas ,
Bartholomew ,
and Matthew ,
James the son of Alphaeus ,
and Simon Zelotes ,
and Judas the brother of James .
*
Beginning from the baptism of John ,
unto that same day that he was taken up from us ,
must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection .
*
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer ,
being the ninth hour .
*
Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms .
*
And Peter ,
fastening his eyes upon him with John ,
said ,
Look on us .
*
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John ,
all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon '
s ,
greatly wondering .
*
And Annas the high priest ,
and Caiaphas ,
and John ,
and Alexander ,
and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest ,
were gathered together at Jerusalem .
*
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John ,
and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men ,
they marvelled ;
and they took knowledge of them ,
that they had been with Jesus .
*
But Peter and John answered and said unto them ,
Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God ,
judge ye .
*
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God ,
they sent unto them Peter and John :
*
That word ,
I say ,
ye know ,
which was published throughout all Judaea ,
and began from Galilee ,
after the baptism which John preached ;
*
Then remembered I the word of the Lord ,
how that he said ,
John indeed baptized with water ;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost .
*
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword .
*
And when he had considered the thing ,
he came to the house of Mary the mother of John ,
whose surname was Mark ;
where many were gathered together praying .
*
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem ,
when they had fulfilled their ministry ,
and took with them John ,
whose surname was Mark .
*
And when they were at Salamis ,
they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews :
and they had also John to their minister .
*
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos ,
they came to Perga in Pamphylia :
and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem .
*
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel .
*
And as John fulfilled his course ,
he said ,
Whom think ye that I am ?
I am not he .
But ,
behold ,
there cometh one after me ,
whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose .
*
And Barnabas determined to take with them John ,
whose surname was Mark .
*
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord ;
and being fervent in the spirit ,
he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord ,
knowing only the baptism of John .
*
And he said unto them ,
Unto what then were ye baptized ?
And they said ,
Unto John '
s baptism .
*
Then said Paul ,
John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance ,
saying unto the people ,
that they should believe on him which should come after him ,
that is ,
on Christ Jesus .
*
And when James ,
Cephas ,
and John ,
who seemed to be pillars ,
perceived the grace that was given unto me ,
they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship ;
that we should go unto the heathen ,
and they unto the circumcision .
*
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 .
*
The elder unto the elect lady and her children ,
whom I love in the truth ;
and not I only ,
but also all they that have known the truth ;
*
For the truth '
s sake ,
which dwelleth in us ,
and shall be with us for ever .
*
Grace be with you ,
mercy ,
and peace ,
from God the Father ,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ ,
the Son of the Father ,
in truth and love .
*
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth ,
as we have received a commandment from the Father .
*
And now I beseech thee ,
lady ,
not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee ,
but that which we had from the beginning ,
that we love one another .
*
And this is love ,
that we walk after his commandments .
This is the commandment ,
That ,
as ye have heard from the beginning ,
ye should walk in it .
*
For many deceivers are entered into the world ,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh .
This is a deceiver and an antichrist .
*
Look to yourselves ,
that we lose not those things which we have wrought ,
but that we receive a full reward .
*
Whosoever transgresseth ,
and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ ,
hath not God .
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ ,
he hath both the Father and the Son .
*
If there come any unto you ,
and bring not this doctrine ,
receive him not into your house ,
neither bid him God speed :
*
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds .
*
Having many things to write unto you ,
I would not write with paper and ink :
but I trust to come unto you ,
and speak face to face ,
that our joy may be full .
*
The children of thy elect sister greet thee .
Amen .
*
The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius ,
whom I love in the truth .
*
Beloved ,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health ,
even as thy soul prospereth .
*
For I rejoiced greatly ,
when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee ,
even as thou walkest in the truth .
*
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth .
*
Beloved ,
thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren ,
and to strangers ;
*
Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church :
whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort ,
thou shalt do well :
*
Because that for his name '
s sake they went forth ,
taking nothing of the Gentiles .
*
We therefore ought to receive such ,
that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth .
*
I wrote unto the church :
but Diotrephes ,
who loveth to have the preeminence among them ,
receiveth us not .
*
Wherefore ,
if I come ,
I will remember his deeds which he doeth ,
prating against us with malicious words :
and not content therewith ,
neither doth he himself receive the brethren ,
and forbiddeth them that would ,
and casteth them out of the church .
*
Beloved ,
follow not that which is evil ,
but that which is good .
He that doeth good is of God :
but he that doeth evil hath not seen God .
*
Demetrius hath good report of all men ,
and of the truth itself :
yea ,
and we also bear record ;
and ye know that our record is true .
*
I had many things to write ,
but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee :
*
But I trust I shall shortly see thee ,
and we shall speak face to face .
Peace be to thee .
Our friends salute thee .
Greet the friends by name .
*
The Revelation of Jesus Christ ,
which God gave unto him ,
to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass ;
and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John :
*
John to the seven churches which are in Asia :
Grace be unto you ,
and peace ,
from him which is ,
and which was ,
and which is to come ;
and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne ;
*
I John ,
who also am your brother ,
and companion in tribulation ,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos ,
for the word of God ,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ .
*
And I John saw the holy city ,
new Jerusalem ,
coming down from God out of heaven ,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband .
*
And I John saw these things ,
and heard them .
And when I had heard and seen ,
I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things .
