==== <1JO1>

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.
