For there are three that testify,

All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death.

Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever it is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is.

The one who says he is in the light but still hates his fellow Christian is still in the darkness.

Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Jesus is righteous.

Now this is the gospel message we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us, because if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they went out from us to demonstrate that all of them do not belong to us.

Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the person who denies the Father and the Son.

but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.

The one who says “I have come to know God” and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person.

Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. We know from this that it is the last hour.

You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments do not weigh us down,

Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Thus we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

For this is the gospel message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another,

because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world.

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone who does not practice righteousness – the one who does not love his fellow Christian – is not of God.

not like Cain who was of the evil one and brutally murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, but his brother’s were righteous.
