My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not
sin. But, if anyone does sin, we have one who will plead our cause to
the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. For he is the propitiating
sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole
world.
The first thing... [ Continue Reading ]

And it is by this that we know that we have come to know him--if we
keep his commandments. He who says, "I have come to know him" and who
does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such
a man. The love of God is truly perfected in any man who keeps his
word. This is the way in... [ Continue Reading ]
Beloved, it is not a new commandment which I am writing to you, but an
old commandment which you had from the beginning, the old commandment
is the word which you heard. Again, it is a new commandment which I am
writing to you, a thing which is true in him and in you, because the
darkness is passing... [ Continue Reading ]
He who says that he is in the light, and who at the same time hates
his brother, is still in the darkness. He who loves his brother abides
in the light, and there is nothing in him which makes him stumble. He
who hates his brother is in the darkness and he is walking in
darkness, and he does not kno... [ Continue Reading ]

men, Because you have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you,
little ones, Because yo... [ Continue Reading ]
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 that is in
the world--the flesh's desire, the eye's desire, life's empty
pride--does not come from the Father but comes from the world. And the
world is passing away, an... [ Continue Reading ]
They have gone out from among us but they are not of our number. If
they had been of our number, they would have remained with us. But
things have happened as they have happened, that it may be clearly
demonstrated that all of them are not of us. But you have received
anointing from the Holy One and... [ Continue Reading ]
Who is the liar but the man who denies that Jesus is the Anointed One
of God? Antichrist is he who denies the Father and the Son. Anyone who
denies the Son does not even have the Father; and everyone who
acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
As someone has put it, to deny that Jesus is the Chri... [ Continue Reading ]
If that which you have heard from the beginning remains within you,
you too will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the
promise which he made to you eternal life. I am writing these things
to you to warn you about those who are seeking to lead you astray. As
for you, if that anointing... [ Continue Reading ]
