¹ That which 03739 was 02258 from 0575 the beginning 0746, which 03739 we have heard 0191, which 03739 we have seen 03708 with our 02257 eyes 03788, which 03739 we have looked upon 02300, and 02532 our 02257 hands 05495 have handled 05584, of 04012 the Word 03056 of life 02222;

² (For 02532 the life 02222 was revealed 05319, and 02532 we have seen 03708 it, and 02532 bear witness 03140, and 02532 show 0518 to you 05213 that eternal 0166 life 02222, which 03748 was 02258 with 04314 the Father 03962, and 02532 was revealed 05319 to us 02254;)

³ That which 03739 we have seen 03708 and 02532 heard 0191 we declare 0518 to you 05213, that 02443 ye 05210 also 02532 may have 02192 fellowship 02842 with 03326 us 02257: and 02532 truly our 02251 fellowship 02842, 1161 is with 03326 the Father 03962, and 02532 with 03326 his 0846 Son 05207 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547.

⁴ And 02532 these things 05023 we write 01125 to you 05213, that 02443 your 05216 joy 05479 may be 05600 full 04137.

⁵ This 03778 then 02532 is 02076 the message 01860 which 03739 we have heard 0191 from 0575 him 0846, and 02532 declare 0312 to you 05213, that 03754 God 02316 is 02076 light 05457, and 02532 in 01722 him 0846 is 02076 no 03756 darkness 04653 at all 03762.

⁶ If 01437 we say 02036 that 03754 we have 02192 fellowship 02842 with 03326 him 0846, and 02532 walk 04043 in 01722 darkness 04655, we lie 05574, and 02532 do 04160 not 03756 the truth 0225:

⁷ But 01161 if 01437 we walk 04043 in 01722 the light 05457, as 05613 he 0846 is 02076 in 01722 the light 05457, we have 02192 fellowship 02842 one with another 03326, 240, and 02532 the blood 0129 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 his 0846 Son 05207 cleanseth 02511 us 02248 from 0575 all 03956 sin 0266.

⁸ If 01437 we say 02036 that 03754 we have 02192 no 03756 sin 0266, we deceive 04105 ourselves 01438, and 02532 the truth 0225 is 02076 not 03756 in 01722 us 02254.

⁹ If 01437 we confess 03670 our 02257 sins 0266, he is 02076 faithful 04103 and 02532 just 01342 to 02443 forgive 0863 us 02254 our sins 0266, and 02532 to cleanse 02511 us 02248 from 0575 all 03956 unrighteousness 093.

¹⁰ If 01437 we say 02036 that 03754 we have 0264 not 03756 sinned 0264, we make 04160 him 0846 a liar 05583, and 02532 his 0846 word 03056 is 02076 not 03756 in 01722 us 02254.

¹ My 03450 little children 05040, these things 05023 I write 01125 to you 05213, that 03363 ye sin 0264 not 03363. And 02532 if 01437 any man 05100 sinneth 0264, we have 02192 an advocate 03875 with 04314 the Father 03962, Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 the righteous 01342:

² And 02532 he 0846 is 02076 the propitiation 02434 for 04012 our 02257 sins 0266: and 01161 not 03756 for 04012 ours 02251 only 03440, but 0235 also 02532 for 04012 the sins of the whole 03650 world 02889.

³ And 02532 by this 01722, 5129 we do know 01097 that 03754 we know 01097 him 0846, if 01437 we keep 05083 his 0846 commandments 01785.

⁴ He that saith 03004, I know 01097 him 0846, and 02532 keepeth 05083 not 03361 his 0846 commandments 01785, is 02076 a liar 05583, and 02532 the truth 0225 is 02076 not 03756 in 01722 him 05129.

⁵ But 01161 whoever 03739 keepeth 0302, 5083 his 0846 word 03056, in 01722 him 05129 verily 0230 is 05048 the love 026 of God 02316 perfected 05048: by this 01722, 5129 we know 01097 that 03754 we are 02070 in 01722 him 0846.

⁶ He that saith 03004 he abideth 03306 in 01722 him 0846 ought 03784 himself 0846 also 02532 so 03779 to walk 04043, even as 02531 he 01565 walked 04043.

⁷ Brethren 080, I write 01125 no 03756 new 02537 commandment 01785 to you 05213, but 0235 an old 03820 commandment 01785 which 03739 ye had 02192 from 0575 the beginning 0746. The old 03820 commandment 01785 is 02076 the word 03056 which 03739 ye have heard 0191 from 0575 the beginning 0746.

⁸ Again 03825, a new 02537 commandment 01785 I write 01125 to you 05213, which thing 03739 is 02076 true 0227 in 01722 him 0846 and 02532 in 01722 you 05213: because 03754 the darkness 04653 is past 03855, and 02532 the true 0228 light 05457 now 02235 shineth 05316.

⁹ He that saith 03004 he is 01511 in 01722 the light 05457, and 02532 hateth 03404 his 0846 brother 080, is 02076 in 01722 darkness 04653 even until 02193 now 0737.

¹⁰ He that loveth 025 his 0846 brother 080 abideth 03306 in 01722 the light 05457, and 02532 there is 02076 no 03756 cause for stumbling 04625 in 01722 him 0846. occasion…: Gr. scandal

¹¹ But 01161 he that hateth 03404 his 0846 brother 080 is 02076 in 01722 darkness 04653, and 02532 walketh 04043 in 01722 darkness 04653, and 02532 knoweth 01492 not 03756 where 04226 he goeth 05217, because 03754 that darkness 04653 hath blinded 05186 his 0846 eyes 03788.

¹² I write 01125 to you 05213, little children 05040, because 03754 your sins 0266 are forgiven 0863 you 05213 for 01223 his 0846 name’s 03686 sake 01223.

¹³ I write 01125 to you 05213, fathers 03962, because 03754 ye have known 01097 him that is from 0575 the beginning 0746. I write 01125 to you 05213, young men 03495, because 03754 ye have overcome 03528 the wicked one 04190. I write 01125 to you 05213, little children 03813, because 03754 ye have known 01097 the Father 03962.

¹⁴ I have written 01125 to you 05213, fathers 03962, because 03754 ye have known 01097 him that is from 0575 the beginning 0746. I have written 01125 to you 05213, young men 03495, because 03754 ye are 02075 strong 02478, and 02532 the word 03056 of God 02316 abideth 03306 in 01722 you 05213, and 02532 ye have overcome 03528 the wicked one 04190.

¹⁵ Love 025 not 03361 the world 02889, neither 03366 the things that are in 01722 the world 02889. If 01437 any man 05100 loveth 025 the world 02889, the love 026 of the Father 03962 is 02076 not 03756 in 01722 him 0846.

¹⁶ For 03754 all 03956 that is in 01722 the world 02889, the lust 01939 of the flesh 04561, and 02532 the lust 01939 of the eyes 03788, and 02532 the pride 0212 of life 0979, is 02076 not 03756 from 01537 the Father 03962, but 0235 is 02076 from 01537 the world 02889.

¹⁷ And 02532 the world 02889 passeth away 03855, and 02532 its 0846 lust 01939: but 01161 he that doeth 04160 the will 02307 of God 02316 abideth 03306 for 01519 ever 0165.

¹⁸ Little children 03813, it is 02076 the last 02078 time 05610: and 02532 as 02531 ye have heard 0191 that 03754 antichrist 0500 cometh 02064, even 02532 now 03568 are there 01096 many 04183 antichrists 0500; by which 03606 we know 01097 that 03754 it is 02076 the last 02078 time 05610.

¹⁹ They went out 01831 from 01537 us 02257, but 0235 they were 02258 not 03756 of 01537 us 02257; for 01063 if 01487 they had been 02258 of 01537 us 02257, they would 0302 no doubt have continued 03306 with 03326 us 02257: but 0235 they went out, that 02443 they might be shown 05319 that 03754 they were 01526 not 03756 all 03956 of 01537 us 02257.

²⁰ But 02532 ye 05210 have 02192 an unction 05545 from 0575 the Holy One 040, and 02532 ye know 01492 all things 03956.

²¹ I have 01125 not 03756 written 01125 to you 05213 because 03754 ye know 01492 not 03756 the truth 0225, but 0235 because 03754 ye know 01492 it 0846, and 02532 that 03754 no 03956, 3756 lie 05579 is 02076 of 01537 the truth 0225.

²² Who 05101 is 02076 a liar 05583 but 01508 he that denieth 0720 that 03754 Jesus 02424 is 02076, 3756 the Christ 05547? He 03778 is 02076 antichrist 0500, that denieth 0720 the Father 03962 and 02532 the Son 05207.

²³ Whoever 03956 denieth 0720 the Son 05207, the same hath 02192 not 03761 the Father 03962: (but) he that confesseth 03670 the Son 05207 hath 02192 the Father 03962 also 02532.

²⁴ Let 03306 that therefore 03767 abide 03306 in 01722 you 05213, which 03739 ye 05210 have heard 0191 from 0575 the beginning 0746. If 01437 that which 03739 ye have heard 0191 from 0575 the beginning 0746 shall remain 03306 in 01722 you 05213, ye 05210 also 02532 shall continue 03306 in 01722 the Son 05207, and 02532 in 01722 the Father 03962.

²⁵ And 02532 this 03778 is 02076 the promise 01860 that 03739 he 0846 hath promised 01861 us 02254, even eternal 0166 life 02222.

²⁶ These 05023 things have I written 01125 to you 05213 concerning 04012 them that seduce 04105 you 05209.

²⁷ But 02532 the anointing 05545 which 03739 ye 05210 have received 02983 from 0575 him 0846 abideth 03306 in 01722 you 05213, and 02532 ye need 05532, 2192 not 03756 that 02443 any man 05100 should teach 01321 you 05209: but 0235 as 05613 the same 0846 anointing 05545 teacheth 01321 you 05209 concerning 04012 all things 03956, and 02532 is 02076 truth 0227, and 02532 is 02076 no 03756 lie 05579, and 02532 even as 02531 it hath taught 01321 you 05209, ye shall abide 03306 in 01722 him 0846. in him: or, in it

²⁸ And 02532 now 03568, little children 05040, abide 03306 in 01722 him 0846; that 02443, when 03752 he shall appear 05319, we may have 02192 confidence 03954, and 02532 not 03361 be ashamed 0153 before 0575 him 0846 at 01722 his 0846 coming 03952.

²⁹ If 01437 ye know 01492 that 03754 he is 02076 righteous 01342, ye know 01097 that 03754 every one 03956 that doeth 04160 righteousness 01343 is born 01080 of 01537 him 0846. ye know that every: or, know ye etc.is born: Gr. has been born

¹ Behold 01492, what manner 04217 of love 026 the Father 03962 hath bestowed 01325 upon us 02254, that 02443 we should be called 02564 the sons 05043 of God 02316: therefore 01223, 5124 the world 02889 knoweth 01097 us 02248 not 03756, because 03754 it knew 01097 him 0846 not 03756.

² Beloved 027, now 03568 are we 02070 the sons 05043 of God 02316, and 02532 it doth 05319 not yet 03768 appear 05319 what 05101 we shall be 02071: but 01161 we know 01492 that 03754, when 01437 he shall appear 05319, we shall be 02071 like 03664 him 0846; for 03754 we shall see 03700 him 0846 as 02531 he is 02076.

³ And 02532 every man 03956 that hath 02192 this 05026 hope 01680 in 01909 him 0846 purifieth 048 himself 01438, even as 02531 he 01565 is 02076 pure 053.

⁴ Whoever 03956 committeth 04160 sin 0266 transgresseth 04160, 458 also 02532 the law 0458: for 02532 sin 0266 is 02076 the transgression of the law 0458.

⁵ And 02532 ye know 01492 that 03754 he 01565 appeared 05319 to 02443 take away 0142 our 02257 sins 0266; and 02532 in 01722 him 0846 is 02076 no 03756 sin 0266.

⁶ Whoever 03956 abideth 03306 in 01722 him 0846 sinneth 0264 not 03756: whoever 03956 sinneth 0264 hath 03708 not 03756 seen 03708 him 0846, neither 03761 known 01097 him 0846.

⁷ Little children 05040, let 04105 no man 03367 deceive 04105 you 05209: he that doeth 04160 righteousness 01343 is 02076 righteous 01342, even as 02531 he 01565 is 02076 righteous 01342.

⁸ He that committeth 04160 sin 0266 is 02076 of 01537 the devil 01228; for 03754 the devil 01228 sinneth 0264 from 0575 the beginning 0746. For 01519 this purpose 05124 the Son 05207 of God 02316 appeared 05319, that 02443 he might destroy 03089 the works 02041 of the devil 01228.

⁹ Whoever 03956 is born 01080 of 01537 God 02316 doth 04160 not 03756 commit sin 0266; for 03754 his 0846 seed 04690 remaineth 03306 in 01722 him 0846: and 02532 he cannot 03756, 1410 sin 0264, because 03754 he is born 01080 of 01537 God 02316. is born: or, has been born

¹⁰ In 01722 this 05129 the children 05043 of God 02316 are 02076 revealed 05318, and 02532 the children 05043 of the devil 01228: whoever 03956 doeth 04160 not 03361 righteousness 01343 is 02076 not 03756 of 01537 God 02316, neither 02532 he that loveth 025 not 03361 his 0846 brother 080.

¹¹ For 03754 this 03778 is 02076 the message 031 that 03739 ye have heard 0191 from 0575 the beginning 0746, that 02443 we should love 025 one another 0240. message: or, commandment

¹² Not 03756 as 02531 Cain 02535, who was 02258 of 01537 that wicked one 04190, and 02532 killed 04969 his 0846 brother 080. And 02532 why 05484, 5101 did he kill 04969 him 0846? Because 03754 his own 0846 works 02041 were 02258 evil 04190, and 01161 his 0846 brother’s 080 righteous 01342.

¹³ Marvel 02296 not 03361, my 03450 brethren 080, if 01487 the world 02889 hate 03404 you 05209.

¹⁴ We know 01492 that 03754 we 02249 have passed 03327 from 01537 death 02288 to 01519 life 02222, because 03754 we love 025 the brethren 080. He that loveth 025 not 03361 his brother 080 abideth 03306 in 01722 death 02288.

¹⁵ Whoever 03956 hateth 03404 his 0846 brother 080 is 02076 a murderer 0443: and 02532 ye know 01492 that 03754 no 03756, 3956 murderer 0443 hath 02192 eternal 0166 life 02222 abiding 03306 in 01722 him 0846.

¹⁶ By 01722 this 05129 we perceive 01097 the love 026 of God, because 03754 he 01565 laid down 05087 his 0846 life 05590 for 05228 us 02257: and 02532 we 02249 ought 03784 to lay down 05087 our lives 05590 for 05228 the brethren 080.

¹⁷ But 01161 he who 03739, 302 hath 02192 this world’s 02889 good 0979, and 02532 seeth 02334 his 0846 brother 080 have 02192 need 05532, and 02532 shutteth up 02808 his 0846 compassions 04698 from 0575 him 0846, how 04459 dwelleth 03306 the love 026 of God 02316 in 01722 him 0846?

¹⁸ My 03450 little children 05040, let us 025 not 03361 love 025 in word 03056, neither 03366 in tongue 01100; but 0235 in deed 02041 and 02532 in truth 0225.

¹⁹ And 02532 by 01722 this 05129 we know 01097 that 03754 we are 02070 of 01537 the truth 0225, and 02532 shall assure 03982 our 02257 hearts 02588 before 01715 him 0846. assure: Gr. persuade

²⁰ For 03754 if 01437 our 02257 heart 02588 condemneth us 02607, 3754, God 02316 is 02076 greater 03187 than our 02257 heart 02588, and 02532 knoweth 01097 all things 03956.

²¹ Beloved 027, if 03362 our 02257 heart 02588 doth not 03362 condemn 02607 us 02257, then have we 02192 confidence 03954 toward 04314 God 02316.

²² And 02532 whatever 03739, 1437 we ask 0154, we receive 02983 from 03844 him 0846, because 03754 we keep 05083 his 0846 commandments 01785, and 02532 do 04160 those things that are pleasing 0701 in his 0846 sight 01799.

²³ And 02532 this 03778 is 02076 his 0846 commandment 01785, That 02443 we should believe 04100 on the name 03686 of his 0846 Son 05207 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, and 02532 love 025 one another 0240, as 02531 he gave 01325 us 02254 commandment 01785.

²⁴ And 02532 he that keepeth 05083 his 0846 commandments 01785 dwelleth 03306 in 01722 him 0846, and 02532 he 0846 in 01722 him 0846. And 02532 by 01722 this 05129 we know 01097 that 03754 he abideth 03306 in 01722 us 02254, by 01537 the Spirit 04151 who 03739 he hath given 01325 to us 02254.

¹ Beloved 027, believe 04100 not 03361 every 03956 spirit 04151, but 0235 try 01381 the spirits 04151 whether 01487 they are 02076 of 01537 God 02316: because 03754 many 04183 false prophets 05578 have gone out 01831 into 01519 the world 02889.

² By 01722 this 03739, 5129 ye know 01097 the Spirit 04151 of God 02316: Every 03956 spirit 04151 that confesseth 03670 that Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 hath come 02064 in 01722 the flesh 04561 is 02076 from 01537 God 02316:

³ And 02532 every 03956 spirit 04151 that 03739 confesseth 03670 not 03361 that Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 is come 02064 in 01722 the flesh 04561 is 02076 not 03756 from 01537 God 02316: and 02532 this 05124 is 02076 that spirit of antichrist 0500, of which 03739 ye have heard 0191 that 03754 it should come 02064; and even 02532 now 03568 already 02235 it is 02076 in 01722 the world 02889.

⁴ Ye 05210 are 02075 of 01537 God 02316, little children 05040, and 02532 have overcome 03528 them 0846: because 03754 greater 03187 is he that is 02076 in 01722 you 05213, than 02228 he that is in 01722 the world 02889.

⁵ They 0846 are 01526 of 01537 the world 02889: therefore 01223, 5124 they speak 02980 from 01537 the world 02889, and 02532 the world 02889 heareth 0191 them 0846.

⁶ We 02249 are 02070 of 01537 God 02316: he that knoweth 01097 God 02316 heareth 0191 us 02257; he that 03739 is 02076 not 03756 of 01537 God 02316 heareth 0191 not 03756 us 02257. By 01537 this 05127 we know 01097 the spirit 04151 of truth 0225, and 02532 the spirit 04151 of error 04106.

⁷ Beloved 027, let us love 025 one another 0240: for 03754 love 026 is 02076 from 01537 God 02316; and 02532 every one 03956 that loveth 025 is born 01080 of 01537 God 02316, and 02532 knoweth 01097 God 02316. is born: Gr. has been born

⁸ He that loveth 025 not 03361 knoweth 01097 not 03756 God 02316; for 03754 God 02316 is 02076 love 026.

⁹ In 01722 this 05129 was revealed 05319 the love 026 of God 02316 toward 01722 us 02254, because 03754 that God 02316 sent 0649 his 0846 only begotten 03439 Son 05207 into 01519 the world 02889, that 02443 we might live 02198 through 01223 him 0846.

¹⁰ In 01722 this 05129 is 02076 love 026, not 03754 that 03756 we 02249 loved 025 God 02316, but 0235 that 03754 he 0846 loved 025 us 02248, and 02532 sent 0649 his 0846 Son 05207 to be the propitiation 02434 for 04012 our 02257 sins 0266.

¹¹ Beloved 027, if 01487 God 02316 so 03779 loved 025 us 02248, we 02249 ought 03784 also 02532 to love 025 one another 0240.

¹² No man 03762 hath seen 02300 God 02316 at any time 04455. If 01437 we love 025 one another 0240, God 02316 dwelleth 03306 in 01722 us 02254, and 02532 his 0846 love 026 is 02076 perfected 05048 in 01722 us 02254.

¹³ By 01722 this 05129 we know 01097 that 03754 we dwell 03306 in 01722 him 0846, and 02532 he 0846 in 01722 us 02254, because 03754 he hath given 01325 us 02254 of 01537 his 0846 Spirit 04151.

¹⁴ And 02532 we 02249 have seen 02300 and 02532 do testify 03140 that 03754 the Father 03962 sent 0649 the Son 05207 to be the Saviour 04990 of the world 02889.

¹⁵ Whoever 03739, 302 shall confess 03670 that 03754 Jesus 02424 is 02076 the Son 05207 of God 02316, God 02316 dwelleth 03306 in 01722 him 0846, and 02532 he 0846 in 01722 God 02316.

¹⁶ And 02532 we 02249 have known 01097 and 02532 believed 04100 the love 026 that 03739 God 02316 hath 02192 to 01722 us 02254. God 02316 is 02076 love 026; and 02532 he that dwelleth 03306 in 01722 love 026 dwelleth 03306 in 01722 God 02316, and 02532 God 02316 in 01722 him 0846.

¹⁷ In 01722 this 05129 is our 03326, 2257 love 026 made perfect 05048, that 02443 we may have 02192 boldness 03954 in 01722 the day 02250 of judgment 02920: because 03754 as 02531 he 01565 is 02076, so 02532 are 02070 we 02249 in 01722 this 05129 world 02889. our love: Gr. love with us

¹⁸ There is 02076 no 03756 fear 05401 in 01722 love 026; but 0235 perfect 05046 love 026 casteth 0906 out 01854 fear 05401: because 03754 fear 05401 hath 02192 torment 01161, 2851. He that feareth 05399 is 05048 not 03756 made perfect 05048 in 01722 love 026.

¹⁹ We 02249 love 025 him 0846, because 03754 he 0846 first 04413 loved 025 us 02248.

²⁰ If 01437 a man 05100 saith 02036, 3754, I love 025 God 02316, and 02532 hateth 03404 his 0846 brother 080, he is 02076 a liar 05583: for 01063 he that loveth 025 not 03361 his 0846 brother 080 whom 03739 he hath seen 03708, how 04459 can 01410 he love 025 God 02316 whom 03739 he hath 03708 not 03756 seen 03708?

²¹ And 02532 this 05026 commandment 01785 have we 02192 from 0575 him 0846, That 02443 he who loveth 025 God 02316 love 025 his 0846 brother 080 also 02532.

¹ Whoever 03956 believeth 04100 that 03754 Jesus 02424 is 02076 the Christ 05547 is born 01080 of 01537 God 02316: and 02532 every one 03956 that loveth 025 him that begat 01080 loveth 025 him also 02532 that is begotten 01080 by 01537 him 0846. is born: Gr. has been born

² By 01722 this 05129 we know 01097 that 03754 we love 025 the children 05043 of God 02316, when 03752 we love 025 God 02316, and 02532 keep 05083 his 0846 commandments 01785.

³ For 01063 this 03778 is 02076 the love 026 of God 02316, that 02443 we keep 05083 his 0846 commandments 01785: and 02532 his 0846 commandments 01785 are 01526 not 03756 burdensome 0926.

⁴ For 03754 whoever 03956 is born 01080 of 01537 God 02316 overcometh 03528 the world 02889: and 02532 this 03778 is 02076 the victory 03529 that overcometh 03528 the world 02889, even our 02257 faith 04102. is born: Gr. has been born

⁵ Who 05101 is 02076 he that overcometh 03528 the world 02889, but 01508 he that believeth 04100 that 03754 Jesus 02424 is 02076 the Son 05207 of God 02316?

⁶ This 03778 is 02076 he that came 02064 by 01223 water 05204 and 02532 blood 0129, even Jesus 02424 Christ 05547; not 03756 by 01722 water 05204 only 03440, but 0235 by 01722 water 05204 and 02532 blood 0129. And 02532 it is 02076 the Spirit 04151 that beareth witness 03140, because 03754 the Spirit 04151 is 02076 truth 0225.

⁷ For 03754 there are 01526 three 05140 that bear witness 03140 in 01722 heaven 03772, the Father 03962, the Word 03056, and 02532 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151: and 02532 these 03778 three 05140 are 01526 one 01520.

⁸ And 02532 there are 01526 three 05140 that bear witness 03140 on 01722 earth 01093, the Spirit 04151, and 02532 the water 05204, and 02532 the blood 0129: and 02532 these three 05140 agree 01526 in 01519 one 01520.

⁹ If 01487 we receive 02983 the witness 03141 of men 0444, the witness 03141 of God 02316 is 02076 greater 03187: for 03754 this 03778 is 02076 the witness 03141 of God 02316 which 03739 he hath testified 03140 of 04012 his 0846 Son 05207.

¹⁰ He that believeth 04100 on 01519 the Son 05207 of God 02316 hath 02192 the witness 03141 in 01722 himself 01438: he that believeth 04100 not 03361 God 02316 hath made 04160 him 0846 a liar 05583; because 03754 he hath not 03756, 1519 believed 04100 the testimony 03141 that 03739 God 02316 gave 03140 of 04012 his 0846 Son 05207.

¹¹ And 02532 this 03778 is 02076 the testimony 03141, that 03754 God 02316 hath given 01325 to us 02254 eternal 0166 life 02222, and 02532 this 03778 life 02222 is 02076 in 01722 his 0846 Son 05207.

¹² He that hath 02192 the Son 05207 hath 02192 life 02222; and he that hath 02192 not 03361 the Son 05207 of God 02316 hath 02192 not 03756 life 02222.

¹³ These things 05023 have I written 01125 to you 05213 that believe 04100 on 01519 the name 03686 of the Son 05207 of God 02316; that 02443 ye may know 01492 that ye 03754 have 02192 eternal 0166 life 02222, and 02532 that 02443 ye may believe 04100 on 01519 the name 03686 of the Son 05207 of God 02316.

¹⁴ And 02532 this 03778 is 02076 the confidence 03954 that 03739 we have 02192 in 04314 him 0846, that 03754, if 01437 we ask 0154 any thing 05100 according 02596 to his 0846 will 02307, he heareth 0191 us 02257: in: or, concerning

¹⁵ And 02532 if 01437 we know 01492 that 03754 he heareth 0191 us 02257, whatever 03739, 302 we ask 0154, we know 01492 that 03754 we have 02192 the petitions 0155 that 03739 we desired 0154 from 03844 him 0846.

¹⁶ If 01437 any man 05100 shall see 01492 his 0846 brother 080 sin 0264 a sin 0266 which is not 03361 to 04314 death 02288, he shall ask 0154, and 02532 he shall give 01325 him 0846 life 02222 for them that sin 0264 not 03361 to 04314 death 02288. There is 02076 a sin 0266 to 04314 death 02288: I do not 03756 say 03004 that 02443 he shall pray 02065 for 04012 it 01565.

¹⁷ All 03956 unrighteousness 093 is 02076 sin 0266: and 02532 there is 02076 a sin 0266 not 03756 to 04314 death 02288.

¹⁸ We know 01492 that 03754 whoever 03956 is born 01080 of 01537 God 02316 sinneth 0264 not 03756; but 0235 he that is begotten 01080 of 01537 God 02316 keepeth 05083 himself 01438, and 02532 that wicked one 04190 toucheth 0680 him 0846 not 03756. is born: Gr. has been born

¹⁹ And we know 01492 that 03754 we are 02070 of 01537 God 02316, and 02532 the whole 03650 world 02889 lieth 02749 in 01722 wickedness 04190.

²⁰ And 01161 we know 01492 that 03754 the Son 05207 of God 02316 hath come 02240, and 02532 hath given 01325 us 02254 an understanding 01271, that 02443 we may know 01097 him that is true 0228, and 02532 we are 02070 in 01722 him that is true 0228, even in 01722 his 0846 Son 05207 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547. This 03778 is 02076 the true 0228 God 02316, and 02532 eternal 0166 life 02222.

²¹ Little children 05040, keep 05442 yourselves 01438 from 0575 idols 01497. Amen 0281.
