- 1. Beholde, what manner of loue the Father hath bestowed vpon vs, that wee should be called the sonnes of God: therfore the world knoweth vs not, because it knewe him not.
- 2. Beloued, now are we the sonnes of God, and it doeth not yet appeare, what wee shall be: but wee know, that when he shall appeare, we shall bee like him: for we shall see him as he is.
- 3. And euery man that hath this hope in him, purifieth himselfe, euen as he is pure.
- 4. Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the lawe: for sinne is the transgression of the law.
- 5. And ye know that hee was manifested to take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne.
- 6. Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither knowen him.
- 7. Little children, let no man deceiue you: he that doth righteousnes, is righteous, euen as he is righteous.
- 8. He that committeth sinne, is of the deuill, for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose the Sonne of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the deuill.
- 9. Whosoeuer is borne of God, doth not commit sinne: for his seede remaineth in him, and he cannot sinne, because he is borne of God.
- 10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the deuill: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither hee that loueth not his brother.
- 11. For this is the message that yee heard from the beginning, that wee should loue one another.
- 12. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe hee him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers righteous.
- 13. Marueile not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
- 14. Wee know that wee haue passed from death vnto life, because wee loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.
- 15. Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a murtherer, and yee knowe that no murtherer hath eternall life abiding in him.
- 16. Hereby perceiue wee the loue of God, because he layd downe his life for vs, and wee ought to lay downe our liues for the brethren.
- 17. But who so hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth vp his bowels of compassion from him; how dwelleth the loue of God in him?
- 18. My little children, let vs not loue in word, neither in tongue, but indeede and in trueth.
- 19. And hereby wee know that wee are of the trueth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
- 20. For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.
- 21. Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue wee confidence towards God.
- 22. And whatsoeuer we aske, wee receiue of him, because we keepe his commandement, and doe those things that are pleasing in his sight.
- 23. And this is his commandement, that we should beleeue on the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as hee gaue vs commandement.
- 24. And hee that keepeth his commandements dwelleth in him, and hee in him: and hereby wee know that hee abideth in vs, by the spirit which hee hath giuen vs.
