1Jo: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.
1Jo:1:4: And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
1Jo: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.
1Jo:1:6: If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jo: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.
1Jo:1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jo:1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jo:1:10: If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Chapter 02
1Jo: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:
1Jo:2:2: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1Jo:2:3: And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo:2:4: He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jo:2:5: But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jo:2:6: He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1Jo: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.
1Jo: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.
1Jo:2:9: He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1Jo:2:10: He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1Jo: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.
1Jo:2:12: I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
1Jo: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.
1Jo: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.
1Jo: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.
1Jo: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.
1Jo:2:17: These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
