3 : 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved , what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness , 3 : 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God , wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved , and the elements shall melt with fervent heat ? 3 : 13 Nevertheless we , according to his promise , look for new heavens and a new earth , wherein dwelleth righteousness .
3 : 14 Wherefore , beloved , seeing that ye look for such things , be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace , without spot , and blameless .
3 : 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation ; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you ; 3 : 16 As also in all his epistles , speaking in them of these things ; in which are some things hard to be understood , which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest , as they do also the other scriptures , unto their own destruction .
3 : 17 Ye therefore , beloved , seeing ye know these things before , beware lest ye also , being led away with the error of the wicked , fall from your own stedfastness .
3 : 18 But grow in grace , and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . To him be glory both now and for ever . Amen .
### The First Epistle General of John
1 : 1 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 ; 1 : 2 ( 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 ; ) 1 : 3 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 .
1 : 4 And these things write we unto you , that your joy may be full .
1 : 5 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 .
1 : 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him , and walk in darkness , we lie , and do not the truth : 1 : 7 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 .
1 : 8 If we say that we have no sin , we deceive ourselves , and the truth is not in us .
1 : 9 If we confess our sins , he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins , and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness .
1 : 10 If we say that we have not sinned , we make him a liar , and his word is not in us .
2 : 1 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 : 2 : 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins : and not for ours only , but also for the sins of the whole world .
2 : 3 And hereby we do know that we know him , if we keep his commandments .
2 : 4 He that saith , I know him , and keepeth not his commandments , is a liar , and the truth is not in him .
2 : 5 But whoso keepeth his word , in him verily is the love of God perfected : hereby know we that we are in him .
2 : 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk , even as he walked .
2 : 7 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 .
2 : 8 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 .
2 : 9 He that saith he is in the light , and hateth his brother , is in darkness even until now .
2 : 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light , and there is none occasion of stumbling in him .
2 : 11 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 .
2 : 12 I write unto you , little children , because your sins are forgiven you for his name ’ s sake .
2 : 13 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 .
2 : 14 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 .
2 : 15 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 .
2 : 16 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 .
2 : 17 And the world passeth away , and the lust thereof : but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever .
2 : 18 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 .
2 : 19 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 .
2 : 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One , and ye know all things .
2 : 21 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 .
2 : 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ ? He is antichrist , that denieth the Father and the Son .
2 : 23 Whosoever denieth the Son , the same hath not the Father : he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also .
2 : 24 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 .
2 : 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us , even eternal life .
2 : 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you .
2 : 27 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 .
2 : 28 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 .
2 : 29 If ye know that he is righteous , ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him .
3 : 1 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 .
3 : 2 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 .
3 : 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself , even as he is pure .
3 : 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law : for sin is the transgression of the law .
3 : 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins ; and in him is no sin .
3 : 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : whosoever sinneth hath not seen him , neither known him .
3 : 7 Little children , let no man deceive you : he that doeth righteousness is righteous , even as he is righteous .
3 : 8 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 .
3 : 9 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 .
3 : 10 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 .
3 : 11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning , that we should love one another .
3 : 12 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 .
3 : 13 Marvel not , my brethren , if the world hate you .
3 : 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life , because we love the brethren . He that loveth not his brother abideth in death .
3 : 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer : and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him .
3 : 16 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 .
3 : 17 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 ? 3 : 18 My little children , let us not love in word , neither in tongue ; but in deed and in truth .
3 : 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth , and shall assure our hearts before him .
3 : 20 For if our heart condemn us , God is greater than our heart , and knoweth all things .
3 : 21 Beloved , if our heart condemn us not , then have we confidence toward God .
3 : 22 And whatsoever we ask , we receive of him , because we keep his commandments , and do those things that are pleasing in his sight .
3 : 23 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 .
3 : 24 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 .
4 : 1 Beloved , believe not every spirit , but try the spirits whether they are of God : because many false prophets are gone out into the world .
4 : 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God : Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God : 4 : 3 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 .
4 : 4 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 .
4 : 5 They are of the world : therefore speak they of the world , and the world heareth them .
4 : 6 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 .
4 : 7 Beloved , let us love one another : for love is of God ; and every one that loveth is born of God , and knoweth God .
4 : 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God ; for God is love .
4 : 9 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 .
4 : 10 Herein is love , not that we loved God , but that he loved us , and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins .
4 : 11 Beloved , if God so loved us , we ought also to love one another .
4 : 12 No man hath seen God at any time . If we love one another , God dwelleth in us , and his love is perfected in us .
4 : 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him , and he in us , because he hath given us of his Spirit .
4 : 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world .
4 : 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God , God dwelleth in him , and he in God .
4 : 16 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 .
4 : 17 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 .
4 : 18 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 .
4 : 19 We love him , because he first loved us .
4 : 20 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 ? 4 : 21 And this commandment have we from him , That he who loveth God love his brother also .
5 : 1 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 .
5 : 2 By this we know that we love the children of God , when we love God , and keep his commandments .
5 : 3 For this is the love of God , that we keep his commandments : and his commandments are not grievous .
5 : 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world : and this is the victory that overcometh the world , even our faith .
5 : 5 Who is he that overcometh the world , but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ? 5 : 6 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 .
5 : 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven , the Father , the Word , and the Holy Ghost : and these three are one .
5 : 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth , the Spirit , and the water , and the blood : and these three agree in one .
5 : 9 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 .
5 : 10 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 .
5 : 11 And this is the record , that God hath given to us eternal life , and this life is in his Son .
5 : 12 He that hath the Son hath life ; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life .
5 : 13 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 .
5 : 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him , that , if we ask any thing according to his will , he heareth us : 5 : 15 And if we know that he hear us , whatsoever we ask , we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him .
5 : 16 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 .
5 : 17 All unrighteousness is sin : and there is a sin not unto death .
5 : 18 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 .
5 : 19 And we know that we are of God , and the whole world lieth in wickedness .
