God

every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.

Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten.

In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him--how doth the love of God remain in him?

because if our heart may condemn--because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,

and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

Ye--of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

we--of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son--the only begotten--hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

And we--we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son--Saviour of the world;

whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;

and we--we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.
