My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father — Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins — and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
And by this we know that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and yet does not keep His commandments — that one is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoever keeps His word, in him truly the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in Him:
the one who says he remains in Him ought himself to walk in the same way that He walked.
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.
Yet again, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you — which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true Light is already shining.
The one who says he is in the Light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness still.
The one who loves his brother remains in the Light — and in him there is no cause for stumbling.
But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going — because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of His name.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.
I have written to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For everything in the world — the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not from the Father, but is from the world.
And the world is passing away, along with its desire — but the one who does the will of God remains forever.
Little children, it is the last hour. And just as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared. By this we know that it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But this happened so that it would be made plain that none of them are of us.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it — and because no lie comes from the truth.
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist — the one who denies the Father and the Son.
Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise He Himself made to us: eternal life.
I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
As for you, the anointing you have received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you about all things — and is true and is no lie — and just as it has taught you, so remain in Him.
And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may have boldness, and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
