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:
2
And
he
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sins:
and
not
for
ours
only,
but
also
for
[the
sins
of]
the
whole
world.
3
And
hereby
we
do
know
that
we
know
him,
if
we
keep
his
commandments.
4
He
that
saith,
I
know
him,
and
keepeth
not
his
commandments,
is
a
liar,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him.
5
But
whoso
keepeth
his
word,
in
him
verily
is
the
love
of
God
perfected:
hereby
know
we
that
we
are
in
him.
6
He
that
saith
he
abideth
in
him
ought
himself
also
so
to
walk,
even
as
he
walked.
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.
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.
9
He
that
saith
he
is
in
the
light,
and
hateth
his
brother,
is
in
darkness
even
until
now.
10
He
that
loveth
his
brother
abideth
in
the
light,
and
there
is
none
occasion
of
stumbling
in
him.
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.
12
I
write
unto
you,
little
children,
because
your
sins
are
forgiven
you
for
his
name’s
sake.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17
And
the
world
passeth
away,
and
the
lust
thereof:
but
he
that
doeth
the
will
of
God
abideth
for
ever.
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.
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
20
But
ye
have
an
unction
from
the
Holy
One,
and
ye
know
all
things.
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.
22
Who
is
a
liar
but
he
that
denieth
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ?
He
is
antichrist,
that
denieth
the
Father
and
the
Son.
23
Whosoever
denieth
the
Son,
the
same
hath
not
the
Father:
[(but)
he
that
acknowledgeth
the
Son
hath
the
Father
also].
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.
25
And
this
is
the
promise
that
he
hath
promised
us,
[even]
eternal
life.
26
These
[things]
have
I
written
unto
you
concerning
them
that
seduce
you.
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.
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.
29
If
ye
know
that
he
is
righteous,
ye
know
that
every
one
that
doeth
righteousness
is
born
of
him.
