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>.
