1JO-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;
1JO-1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it],
and bear witness,
and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father,
and was
manifested unto us;)
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.
==== <1JO2>
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 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth
the will of God abideth for ever.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know
all things.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the
Father: [@but@ he
that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].
1JO-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.
1JO-2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us,
[even] eternal
life.
1JO-2:26 These [things] have I written unto you concerning them
that seduce
you.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every
one that doeth
righteousness is born of him.
==== <1JO3>
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth
himself, even as he
is pure.
1JO-3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:
for sin is the
transgression of the law.
1JO-3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our
sins; and in him
is no sin.
1JO-3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth
hath not seen
him, neither known him.
1JO-3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness
is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the
beginning, that we
should love one another.
1JO-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.
1JO-3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
1JO-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.
1JO-3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye
know that no
murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1JO-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.
1JO-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?
1JO-3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither
in tongue; but
in deed and in truth.
1JO-3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall
assure our
hearts before him.
1JO-3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our
heart, and
knoweth all things.
1JO-3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we
confidence
toward God.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
==== <1JO4>
1JO-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.
1JO-4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the
world, and the
world heareth them.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another.
1JO-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.
1JO-4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us,
because he hath
given us of his Spirit.
1JO-4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent
the Son [to be]
the Saviour of the world.
1JO-4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in
him, and he in God.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1JO-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?
1JO-4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who
loveth God love
his brother also.
==== <1JO5>
1JO-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.
1JO-5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when
we love God,
and keep his commandments.
1JO-5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments: and his
commandments are not grievous.
1JO-5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and
this is the
victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
1JO-5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that
believeth that Jesus
is the Son of God?
1JO-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.
1JO-5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word,
and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us
eternal life, and
this life is in his Son.
1JO-5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not
the Son of God
hath not life.
1JO-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.
1JO-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:
1JO-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.
1JO-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.
1JO-5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not
unto death.
1JO-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.
1JO-5:19 [And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world
lieth in
wickedness.
1JO-5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath
given us an
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in
him that is
true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal life.
1JO-5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
