1John 1
1. That which <3739> was from the beginning <746>, which <3739>
we have heard <191>, which <3739> we have seen <3708> with our
eyes <3788>, which <3739> we have looked <2300> upon, and our
hands <5495> have handled <5584>, of the Word <3056> of life
<2222>;
2 (For the life <2222> was manifested <5319>, and we have seen
<3708> [it], and bear <3140> witness <3140>, and shew <518> unto
you that eternal <166> life <2222>, which <3748> was with the
Father <3962>, and was manifested <5319> unto us;)
3 That which <3739> we have seen <3708> and heard <191> declare
<518> we unto you, that ye also <2532> may have <2192>
fellowship <2842> with us: and truly <1161> our fellowship
<2842> [is] with the Father <3962>, and with his Son <5207>
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
4 And these <5023> things write <1125> we unto you, that your
<5216> joy <5479> may be full <4137>.
5. This <3778> then <2532> is the message <1860> which <3739>
we have heard <191> of him, and declare <312> unto you, that God
<2316> is light <5457>, and in him is no <3756> darkness <4653>
at <3762> all <3762>.
6 If <1437> we say <2036> that we have <2192> fellowship <2842>
with him, and walk <4043> in darkness <4655>, we lie <5574>, and
do <4160> not the truth <225>:
7 But if <1437> we walk <4043> in the light <5457>, as he is in
the light <5457>, we have <2192> fellowship <2842> one <3391>
with another <240>, and the blood <129> of Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> his Son <5207> cleanseth <2511> us from all <3956> sin
<266>.
8. If <1437> we say <2036> that we have <2192> no <3756> sin
<266>, we deceive <4105> ourselves <1438>, and the truth <225>
is not in us.
9 If <1437> we confess <3670> our sins <266>, he is faithful
<4103> and just <1342> to forgive <863> us [our] sins <266>, and
to cleanse <2511> us from all <3956> unrighteousness <93>.
10 If <1437> we say <2036> that we have not sinned <264>, we
make <4160> him a liar <5583>, and his word <3056> is not in us.
1John 2
1. My little <5040> children <5040>, these <5023> things write
<1125> I unto you, that ye sin <264> not. And if <1437> any
<5100> man sin <264>, we have <2192> an advocate <3875> with the
Father <3962>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the righteous <1342>:
2 And he is the propitiation <2434> for our sins <266>: and not
for ours <2251> only <3440>, but also <2532> for [the sins of]
the whole <3650> world <2889>.
3. And hereby <5129> we do know <1097> that we know <1097> him,
if <1437> we keep <5083> his commandments <1785>.
4 He that saith <3004>, I know <1097> him, and keepeth <5083>
not his commandments <1785>, is a liar <5583>, and the truth
<225> is not in him.
5 But whoso <302> keepeth <5083> his word <3056>, in him verily
<230> is the love <26> of God <2316> perfected <5048>: hereby
<5129> know <1097> we that we are in him.
6 He that saith <3004> he abideth <3306> in him ought <3784>
himself <846> also <2532> so <3779> to walk <4043>, even <2531>
as he walked <4043>.
7. Brethren <80>, I write <1125> no <3756> new <2537>
commandment <1785> unto you, but an old <3820> commandment
<1785> which <3739> ye had <2192> from the beginning <746>. The
old <3820> commandment <1785> is the word <3056> which <3739> ye
have heard <191> from the beginning <746>.
8 Again <3825>, a new <2537> commandment <1785> I write <1125>
unto you, which <3739> thing is true <257> in him and in you:
because <3754> the darkness <4653> is past <3855>, and the true
<228> light <5457> now <2236> shineth <5316>.
9 He that saith <3004> he is in the light <5457>, and hateth
<3404> his brother <80>, is in darkness <4653> even until <2193>
now <737>.
10 He that loveth <25> his brother <80> abideth <3306> in the
light <5457>, and there is none <3756> occasion <4625> of
stumbling <4625> in him.
11 But he that hateth <3404> his brother <80> is in darkness
<4653>, and walketh <4043> in darkness <4653>, and knoweth
<1492> not whither <4226> he goeth <5217>, because <3754> that
darkness <4653> hath blinded <5186> his eyes <3788>.
12. I write <1125> unto you, little <5040> children <5040>,
because <3754> your <3588> sins <266> are forgiven <863> you for
his name's <3686> sake.
13 I write <1125> unto you, fathers <3962>, because <3754> ye
have known <1097> him [that is] from the beginning <746>. I
write <1125> unto you, young <3495> men <3495>, because <3754>
ye have overcome <3528> the wicked <4190> one. I write <1125>
unto you, little <3813> children <3813>, because <3754> ye have
known <1097> the Father <3962>.
14 I have written <1125> unto you, fathers <3962>, because
<3754> ye have known <1097> him [that is] from the beginning
<746>. I have written <1125> unto you, young <3495> men <3495>,
because <3754> ye are strong <2478>, and the word <3056> of God
<2316> abideth <3306> in you, and ye have overcome <3528> the
wicked <4190> one.
15 Love <25> not the world <2889>, neither <3366> the things
[that are] in the world <2889>. If <1437> any <5100> man love
<25> the world <2889>, the love <26> of the Father <3962> is not
in him.
16 For all <3956> that [is] in the world <2889>, the lust
<1939> of the flesh <4561>, and the lust <1939> of the eyes
<3788>, and the pride <212> of life <979>, is not of the Father
<3962>, but is of the world <2889>.
17 And the world <2889> passeth <3855> away, and the lust
<1939> thereof <846>: but he that doeth <4160> the will <2307>
of God <2316> abideth <3306> for ever <165>.
18. Little <3813> children <3813>, it is the last <2078> time
<5610>: and as ye have heard <191> that antichrist <500> shall
come <2064>, even <2532> now <3568> are there many <4183>
antichrists <500>; whereby <3606> we know <1097> that it is the
last <2078> time <5610>.
19 They went <1831> out from us, but they were not of us; for
if <1487> they had been <2258> of us, they would [no doubt] have
continued <3306> with us: but [they went out], that they might
be made <5319> manifest <5319> that they were not all <3956> of
us.
20. But ye have <2192> an unction <5545> from the Holy <40> One,
and ye know <1492> all <3956> things.
21 I have not written <1125> unto you because <3754> ye know
<1492> not the truth <225>, but because <3754> ye know <1492> it,
and that no <3756> lie <5579> is of the truth <225>.
22 Who <5101> is a liar <5583> but he that denieth <720> that
Jesus <2424> is the Christ <5547>? He is antichrist <500>, that
denieth <720> the Father <3962> and the Son <5207>.
23 Whosoever <3588> denieth <720> the Son <5207>, the same
<3761> hath <2192> not the Father <3962>: [(but) he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath <2192> the Father also <2532>].
24 Let that therefore <3767> abide <3306> in you, which <3739>
ye have heard <191> from the beginning <746>. If <1437> that
which <3739> ye have heard <191> from the beginning <746> shall
remain <3306> in you, ye also <2532> shall continue <3306> in
the Son <5207>, and in the Father <3962>.
25 And this <3778> is the promise <1860> that he hath promised
<1861> us, [even] eternal <166> life <2222>.
26 These <5023> [things] have I written <1125> unto you
concerning <4012> them that seduce <4105> you.
27 But the anointing <5545> which <3739> ye have received
<2983> of him abideth <3306> in you, and ye need <5532> not that
any <5100> man teach <1321> you: but as the same <846> anointing
<5545> teacheth <1321> you of all <3956> things, and is truth
<227>, and is no <3756> lie <5579>, and even <2531> as it hath
taught <1321> you, ye shall abide <3306> in him.
28. And now <3568>, little <5040> children <5040>, abide <3306>
in him; that, when <3752> he shall appear <5319>, we may have
<2192> confidence <3954>, and not be ashamed <153> before <575>
him at <1722> his coming <3952>.
29 If <1437> ye know <1492> that he is righteous <1342>, ye
know <1097> that every <3956> one that doeth <4160>
righteousness <1343> is born <1080> of him.
1John 3
1. Behold <1492>, what <4217> manner <4217> of love <26> the
Father <3962> hath bestowed <1325> upon us, that we should be
called <2564> the sons <5043> of God <2316>: therefore <5124>
the world <2889> knoweth <1097> us not, because <3754> it knew
<1097> him not.
2 Beloved <27>, now <3568> are we the sons <5043> of God <2316>,
and it doth not yet <3768> appear <5319> what <5101> we shall
be: but we know <1492> that, when <1437> he shall appear <5319>,
we shall be like <3664> him; for we shall see <3700> him as he
is.
3 And every <3956> man that hath <2192> this <5026> hope <1680>
in him purifieth <48> himself <1438>, even <2531> as he is pure
<53>.
4. Whosoever <3588> committeth <4160> sin <266> transgresseth
<4160> also <2532> the law <458>: for sin <266> is the
transgression <458> of the law <458>.
5 And ye know <1492> that he was manifested <5319> to take
<142> away our sins <266>; and in him is no <3756> sin <266>.
6 Whosoever <3588> abideth <3306> in him sinneth <264> not:
whosoever <3588> sinneth <264> hath not seen <3708> him, neither
<3761> known <1097> him.
7 Little <5040> children <5040>, let no <3367> man <3367>
deceive <4105> you: he that doeth <4160> righteousness <1343> is
righteous <1342>, even <2531> as he is righteous <1342>.
8 He that committeth <4160> sin <266> is of the devil <1228>;
for the devil <1228> sinneth <264> from the beginning <746>. For
this <5124> purpose the Son <5207> of God <2316> was manifested
<5319>, that he might destroy <3089> the works <2041> of the
devil <1228>.
9 Whosoever <3588> is born <1080> of God <2316> doth not commit
<4160> sin <266>; for his seed <4690> remaineth <3306> in him:
and he cannot <1410> sin <264>, because <3754> he is born <1080>
of God <2316>.
10 In this <5129> the children <5043> of God <2316> are
manifest <5318>, and the children <5043> of the devil <1228>:
whosoever <3588> doeth <4160> not righteousness <1343> is not of
God <2316>, neither he that loveth <25> not his brother <80>.
11. For this <2778> is the message <31> that ye heard <191>
from the beginning <746>, that we should love <25> one <240>
another <240>.
12 Not as Cain <2535>, [who] was of that wicked <4190> one, and
slew <4969> his brother <80>. And wherefore <5101> slew <4969>
he him? Because <3754> his own works <2041> were evil <4190>,
and his brother's <80> righteous <1342>.
13 Marvel <2296> not, my brethren <80>, if <1487> the world
<2889> hate <3404> you.
14. We know <1492> that we have passed <3327> from death <2288>
unto life <2222>, because <3754> we love <25> the brethren <80>.
He that loveth <25> not [his] brother <80> abideth <3306> in
death <2288>.
15 Whosoever <3588> hateth <3404> his brother <80> is a
murderer <443>: and ye know <1492> that no <3756> murderer <443>
hath <2192> eternal <166> life <2222> abiding <3306> in him.
16 Hereby <5129> perceive <1097> we the love <26> [of God],
because <3754> he laid <5087> down his life <5590> for us: and
we ought <3784> to lay <5087> down <2597> [our] lives <5590> for
the brethren <80>.
17 But whoso <302> hath <2192> this <3588> world's <2889> good
<979>, and seeth <2334> his brother <80> have <2192> need <5532>,
and shutteth <2808> up his bowels <4698> [of compassion] from
him, how <4459> dwelleth <3306> the love <26> of God <2316> in
him?
18 My little <5040> children <5040>, let us not love <25> in
word <3056>, neither <3366> in tongue <1100>; but in deed <2041>
and in truth <225>.
19 And hereby <5129> we know <1097> that we are of the truth
<225>, and shall assure <3982> our hearts <2588> before <1715>
him.
20. For if <1437> our heart <2588> condemn <2607> us, God
<2316> is greater <3187> than our heart <2588>, and knoweth
<1097> all <3956> things.
21 Beloved <27>, if <1437> our heart <2588> condemn <2607> us
not, [then] have <2192> we confidence <3954> toward <4314> God
<2316>.
22 And whatsoever <1437> we ask <154>, we receive <2983> of him,
because <3754> we keep <5083> his commandments <1785>, and do
<4160> those <3588> things that are pleasing <701> in his sight
<1799>.
23. And this <3778> is his commandment <1785>, That we should
believe <4100> on the name <3686> of his Son <5207> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>, and love <25> one <240> another <240>, as he gave
<1325> us commandment <1785>.
24 And he that keepeth <5083> his commandments <1785> dwelleth
<3306> in him, and he in him. And hereby <5129> we know <1097>
that he abideth <3306> in us, by the Spirit <4151> which <3739>
he hath given <1325> us.
1John 4
1. Beloved <27>, believe <4100> not every <3956> spirit <4151>,
but try <1381> the spirits <4151> whether <1487> they are of God
<2316>: because <3754> many <4183> false <5578> prophets <5578>
are gone <1831> out into <1519> the world <2889>.
2 Hereby <5129> know <1097> ye the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>:
Every <3956> spirit <4151> that confesseth <3670> that Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> is come <2064> in the flesh <4561> is of
God <2316>:
3 And every <3956> spirit <4151> that confesseth <3670> not
that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is come <2064> in the flesh
<4561> is not of God <2316>: and this <5124> is that [spirit] of
antichrist <500>, whereof <3739> ye have heard <191> that it
should come <2064>; and even <2532> now <3568> already <2235> is
it in the world <2889>.
4. Ye are of God <2316>, little <5040> children <5040>, and
have overcome <3528> them: because <3754> greater <3187> is he
that is in you, than <2228> he that is in the world <2889>.
5 They are of the world <2889>: therefore <5124> speak <2980>
they of the world <2889>, and the world <2889> heareth <191>
them.
6 We are of God <2316>: he that knoweth <1097> God <2316>
heareth <191> us; he that is not of God <2316> heareth <191> not
us. Hereby <5124> know <1097> we the spirit <4151> of truth
<225>, and the spirit <4151> of error <4106>.
7. Beloved <27>, let us love <25> one <240> another <240>: for
love <26> is of God <2316>; and every <3956> one that loveth
<25> is born <1080> of God <2316>, and knoweth <1097> God <2316>.
8 He that loveth <25> not knoweth <1097> not God <2316>; for
God <2316> is love <26>.
9 In this <5129> was manifested <5319> the love <26> of God
<2316> toward <1722> us, because <3754> that God <2316> sent
<649> his only <3439> begotten <3439> Son <5207> into <1519> the
world <2889>, that we might live <2198> through <1223> him.
10 Herein <5129> is love <26>, not that we loved <25> God
<2316>, but that he loved <25> us, and sent <649> his Son <5207>
[to be] the propitiation <2434> for our sins <266>.
11 Beloved <27>, if <1487> God <2316> so <3779> loved <25> us,
we ought <3784> also <2532> to love <25> one <240> another <240>.
12 No <3762> man <3762> hath seen <2300> God <2316> at <4455>
any <4455> time <4455>. If <1437> we love <26> one <240> another
<240>, God <2316> dwelleth <3306> in us, and his love <25> is
perfected <5048> in us.
13 Hereby <5129> know <1097> we that we dwell <3306> in him,
and he in us, because <3754> he hath given <1325> us of his
Spirit <4151>.
14. And we have seen <2300> and do testify <3140> that the
Father <3962> sent <649> the Son <5207> [to be] the Saviour
<4990> of the world <2889>.
15 Whosoever <302> shall confess <3670> that Jesus <2424> is
the Son <5207> of God <2316>, God <2316> dwelleth <3306> in him,
and he in God <2316>.
16 And we have known <1097> and believed <4100> the love <26>
that God <2316> hath <2192> to us. God <2316> is love <26>; and
he that dwelleth <3306> in love <26> dwelleth <3306> in God
<2316>, and God <2316> in him.
17. Herein <5129> is our love <26> made <5048> perfect <5048>,
that we may have <2192> boldness <3954> in the day <2250> of
judgment <2920>: because <3754> as he is, so <2532> are we in
this <5129> world <2889>.
18 There is no <3756> fear <5401> in love <26>; but perfect
<5046> love <26> casteth <906> out fear <5401>: because <3754>
fear <5401> hath <2192> torment <2851>. He that feareth <5399>
is not made <5048> perfect <5048> in love <26>.
19 We love <25> him, because <3754> he first <4413> loved <25>
us.
20 If <1437> a man say <2036>, I love <25> God <2316>, and
hateth <3404> his brother <80>, he is a liar <5583>: for he that
loveth <25> not his brother <80> whom <3739> he hath seen <3708>,
how <4459> can <1410> he love <25> God <2316> whom <3739> he
hath not seen <3708>?
21 And this <5026> commandment <1785> have <2192> we from him,
That he who loveth <25> God <2316> love <25> his brother <80>
also <2532>.
1John 5
1. Whosoever <3588> believeth <4100> that Jesus <2424> is the
Christ <5547> is born <1080> of God <2316>: and every <3956> one
that loveth <25> him that begat <1080> loveth <25> him also
<2532> that is begotten <1080> of him.
2 By this <5129> we know <1097> that we love <25> the children
<5043> of God <2316>, when <3752> we love <25> God <2316>, and
keep <5083> his commandments <1785>.
3 For this <3778> is the love <26> of God <2316>, that we keep
<5083> his commandments <1785>: and his commandments <1785> are
not grievous <926>.
4 For whatsoever <3956> is born <1080> of God <2316> overcometh
<3528> the world <2889>: and this <3778> is the victory <3529>
that overcometh <3528> the world <2889>, [even] our faith <4102>.
5 Who <5101> is he that overcometh <3528> the world <2889>, but
he that believeth <4100> that Jesus <2424> is the Son <5207> of
God <2316>?
6. This <3778> is he that came <2064> by water <5204> and blood
<129>, [even] Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; not by water <5204>
only <3440>, but by water <5204> and blood <129>. And it is the
Spirit <4151> that beareth <3140> witness <3140>, because <3754>
the Spirit <4151> is truth <225>.
7 For there are three <5140> that bear <3140> record <3140> in
heaven <3772>, the Father <3962>, the Word <3056>, and the Holy
<40> Ghost <4151>: and these <3778> three <5140> are one <1520>.
8 And there are three <5140> that bear <3140> witness <3140> in
earth <1093>, the Spirit <4151>, and the water <5204>, and the
blood <129>: and these <3778> three <5140> agree <1526> in one
<1520>.
9 If <1487> we receive <2983> the witness <3141> of men <444>,
the witness <3141> of God <2316> is greater <3187>: for this
<3778> is the witness <3141> of God <2316> which <3739> he hath
testified <3140> of his Son <5207>.
10. He that believeth <4100> on <1519> the Son <5207> of God
<2316> hath <2192> the witness <3141> in himself <1438>: he that
believeth <4100> not God <2316> hath made <4160> him a liar
<5583>; because <3754> he believeth <4100> not the record <3141>
that God <2316> gave <3140> of his Son <5207>.
11 And this <3778> is the record <3141>, that God <2316> hath
given <1325> to us eternal <166> life <2222>, and this <3778>
life <2222> is in his Son <5207>.
12 He that hath <2192> the Son <5207> hath <2192> life <2222>;
[and] he that hath <2192> not the Son <5207> of God <2316> hath
<2192> not life <2222>.
13 These <5023> things have I written <1125> unto you that
believe <4100> on <1519> the name <3686> of the Son <5207> of
God <2316>; that ye may know <1492> that ye have <2192> eternal
<166> life <2222>, and that ye may believe <4100> on <1519> the
name <3686> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
14. And this <3778> is the confidence <3954> that we have
<2192> in him, that, if <1437> we ask <154> any <5100> thing
according <2596> to his will <2307>, he heareth <191> us:
15 And if <1437> we know <1492> that he hear <191> us,
whatsoever <302> we ask <154>, we know <1492> that we have
<2192> the petitions <155> that we desired <154> of him.
16 If <1437> any <5100> man see <1492> his brother <80> sin
<264> a sin <266> [which is] not unto death <2288>, he shall ask
<154>, and he shall give <1325> him life <2222> for them that
sin <264> not unto death <2288>. There is a sin <266> unto death
<2288>: I do not say <3004> that he shall pray <2065> for it.
17 All <3956> unrighteousness <93> is sin <266>: and there is a
sin <266> not unto death <2288>.
18. We know <1492> that whosoever <3588> is born <1080> of God
<2316> sinneth <264> not; but he that is begotten <1080> of God
<2316> keepeth <5083> himself <1438>, and that wicked <4190> one
toucheth <680> him not.
19 [And] we know <1492> that we are of God <2316>, and the
whole <3650> world <2889> lieth <2749> in wickedness <4190>.
20 And we know <1492> that the Son <5207> of God <2316> is come
<2240>, and hath given <1325> us an understanding <1271>, that
we may know <1097> him that is true <228>, and we are in him
that is true <228>, [even] in his Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547>. This <3778> is the true <228> God <2316>, and eternal
<166> life <2222>.
21 Little <5040> children <5040>, keep <5442> yourselves <1438>
from idols <1497>. Amen <281>.
