My{G3450} little children,{G5040} these things{G5023} write I{G1125} unto you{G5213} that{G2443} ye may not{G3361} sin.{G264} And{G2532} if{G1437} any man{G5100} sin,{G264} we have{G2192} an Advocate{G3875} with{G4314} the Father,{G3962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} the righteous:{G1342}

and{G2532} he{G846} is{G2076} the propitiation{G2434} for{G4012} our{G2257} sins;{G266} and{G1161} not{G3756} for{G4012} ours{G2251} only,{G3440} but{G235} also{G2532} for{G4012} the{G2889} whole{G3650} world.{G2889}

And{G2532} hereby{G5129} we{G1097} know{G1097} that{G3754} we{G1097} know{G1097} him,{G846} if{G1437} we keep{G5083} his{G846} commandments.{G1785}

He that saith,{G3004} I know{G1097} him,{G846} and{G2532} keepeth{G5083} not{G3361} his{G846} commandments,{G1785} is{G2076} a liar,{G5583} and{G2532} the truth{G225} is{G2076} not{G3756} in{G1722} him;{G5129}

but{G1161} whoso{G3739} {G302} keepeth{G5083} his{G846} word,{G3056} in{G1722} him{G5129} verily{G230} hath{G5048} the love{G26} of God{G2316} been perfected.{G5048} Hereby{G1722} we{G1097} know that{G3754} we{G846} are{G2070} in{G1722} him:{G5129}

he that saith{G3004} he abideth{G3306} in{G1722} him{G846} ought{G3784} himself{G1565} also{G2531} to walk{G4043} even{G2532} as{G3779} he{G846} walked.{G4043}

Beloved,{G80} no{G3756} new{G2537} commandment{G1785} write{G1125} I unto you,{G5213} but{G235} an{G1785} old{G3820} commandment{G1785} which{G3739} ye had{G2192} from{G575} the beginning:{G746} the{G1785} old{G3820} commandment{G1785} is{G2076} the word{G3056} which{G3739} ye heard.{G191}

Again,{G3825} a{G1785} new{G2537} commandment{G1785} write{G1125} I unto you,{G5213} which thing{G3739} is{G2076} true{G227} in{G1722} him{G846} and{G2532} in{G1722} you;{G5213} because{G3754} the darkness{G4653} is passing{G3855} away, and{G2532} the{G5457} true{G228} light{G5457} already{G2235} shineth.{G5316}

He that saith{G3004} he is{G1511} in{G1722} the light{G5457} and{G2532} hateth{G3404} his{G846} brother,{G80} is{G2076} in{G1722} the darkness{G4653} even until{G2193} now.{G737}

He that loveth{G25} his{G846} brother{G80} abideth{G3306} in{G1722} the light,{G5457} and{G2532} there is{G2076} no{G3756} occasion of stumbling{G4625} in{G1722} him.{G846}

But{G1161} he that hateth{G3404} his{G846} brother{G80} is{G2076} in{G1722} the darkness,{G4653} and{G2532} walketh{G4043} in{G1722} the darkness,{G4653} and{G2532} knoweth{G1492} not{G3756} whither{G4225} he goeth,{G5217} because{G3754} the darkness{G4653} hath blinded{G5186} his{G846} eyes.{G3788}

I write{G1125} unto you,{G5213} [my] little children,{G5040} because{G3754} your{G5213} sins{G266} are forgiven you{G863} for{G1223} his{G846} name's{G3686} sake.{G1223}

I write{G1125} unto you,{G5213} fathers,{G3962} because{G3754} ye know{G1097} him who is from{G575} the beginning.{G746} I write{G1125} unto you,{G5213} young men,{G3495} because{G3754} ye have overcome{G3528} the evil one.{G4190} I have written{G1125} unto you,{G5213} little children,{G3813} because{G3754} ye know{G1097} the Father.{G3962}

I have written{G1125} unto you,{G5213} fathers,{G3962} because{G3754} ye know{G1097} him who is from{G575} the beginning.{G746} I have written{G1125} unto you,{G5213} young men,{G3495} because{G3754} ye are{G2075} strong,{G2478} and{G2532} the word{G3056} of{G1722} God{G2316} abideth{G3306} in you,{G5213} and{G2532} ye have overcome{G3528} the evil one.{G4190}

Love{G25} not{G3361} the world,{G2889} neither{G3366} the things{G3588} that are in{G1722} the world.{G2889} If{G1437} any man{G5100} love{G25} the world,{G2889} the love{G26} of{G1722} the Father{G3962} is{G2076} not{G3756} in{G2076} him.{G846}

For{G3754} all that{G3956} is in{G1722} the world,{G2889} the lust{G1939} of the flesh{G4561} and{G2532} the lust{G1939} of the eyes{G3788} and{G2532} the vain glory{G212} of life,{G979} is{G2076} not{G3756} of{G1537} the Father,{G3962} but{G235} is{G2076} of{G1537} the world.{G2889}

And{G2532} the world{G2889} passeth away,{G3855} and{G2532} the lust{G1939} thereof:{G846} but{G1161} he that doeth{G4160} the will{G2307} of God{G2316} abideth{G3306} for{G1519} ever.{G165}

Little children,{G3813} it is{G2076} the{G5610} last{G2078} hour:{G5610} and{G2532} as{G2531} ye heard{G191} that{G3754} antichrist{G500} cometh,{G2064} even{G2532} now{G3568} have there{G1096} arisen many{G4183} antichrists;{G500} whereby{G3606} we know{G1097} that{G3754} it is{G2076} the{G5610} last{G2078} hour.{G5610}

They went{G1831} out from{G1537} us,{G2257} but{G235} they were{G2258} not{G3756} of{G1537} us;{G2257} for{G1063} if{G1487} they had been{G2258} of{G1537} us,{G2257} they would{G302} have continued{G3306} with{G3326} us:{G2257} but{G235} [they went out], that{G2443} they might be made manifest{G5319} that{G3754} they all{G3956} are{G1526} not{G3756} of{G1537} us.{G2257}

And{G2532} ye{G5210} have{G2192} an anointing{G5545} from{G575} the Holy One,{G40} and{G2532} ye know{G1492} all the things.{G3956}

I have{G1125} not{G3756} written{G1125} unto you{G5213} because{G3754} ye know{G1492} not{G3756} the truth,{G225} but{G235} because{G3754} ye know{G1492} it,{G846} and{G2532} because{G3754} no{G3756} {G3956} lie{G5579} is{G2076} of{G1537} the truth.{G225}

Who{G5101} is{G2076} the liar{G5583} but{G1487} he that{G3754} denieth{G720} {G3756} that{G3754} Jesus{G2424} is{G2076} the Christ?{G5547} This is{G2076} the antichrist,{G500} [even] he that{G3778} denieth{G720} the Father{G3962} and{G2532} the Son.{G5207}

Whosoever{G3956} denieth{G720} the Son,{G5207} the same hath{G2192} not{G3761} the Father:{G3962} he that confesseth{G3670} the Son{G5207} hath{G2192} the Father{G3962} also.{G2532}

As{G3767} for you, let that{G3739} abide{G3306} in{G1722} you{G5213} which{G3739} ye heard{G191} from{G575} the beginning.{G746} If{G1437} that which{G3739} ye heard{G191} from{G575} the beginning{G746} abide{G3306} in{G1722} you,{G5213} ye{G5210} also{G2532} shall abide{G3306} in{G1722} the Son,{G5207} and{G2532} in{G1722} the Father.{G5210}

And{G2532} this{G3778} is{G2076} the promise{G1860} which{G3739} he{G846} promised{G1861} us,{G2254} [even] the life{G2222} eternal.{G166}

These{G5023} things have I written{G1125} unto you{G5213} concerning{G4012} them that would lead you{G5209} astray.{G4105}

And{G2532} as for you, the anointing{G5545} which{G3739} ye{G5210} received{G2983} of{G575} him{G846} abideth{G3306} in{G1722} you,{G5213} and{G2532} ye need{G2192} {G5532} not{G3756} that{G2443} any one{G5100} teach{G1321} you;{G5209} but{G235} as{G5613} his{G846} anointing{G5545} teacheth{G1321} you;{G5209} concerning{G4012} all things,{G3956} and{G2532} is{G2076} true,{G227} and{G2532} is{G2076} no{G3756} lie,{G5579} and{G2532} even as{G2531} it taught{G1321} you,{G5209} ye abide{G3306} in{G1722} him.{G846}

And{G2532} now,{G3568} [my] little children,{G5040} abide{G3306} in{G1722} him;{G846} that,{G2443} if{G3752} he shall be manifested,{G5319} we may have{G2192} boldness,{G3954} and{G2532} not{G3361} be ashamed{G153} before{G575} him{G846} at{G1722} his{G846} coming.{G3952}

If{G1437} ye know{G1492} that{G3754} he is{G2076} righteous,{G1342} ye know{G1097} that{G3754} every one{G3956} also that{G3588} doeth{G4160} righteousness{G1343} is begotten{G1080} of{G1537} him.{G846}
