the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement.

and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and announce to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us).

What we have seen and heard we announce to you too, so that you may have fellowship with us (and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ).

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; indeed, sin is lawlessness.

And you know that Jesus was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him.

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.

And the person who keeps his commandments resides in God, and God in him. Now by this we know that God resides in us: by the Spirit he has given us.

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.

If we say we have fellowship with him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth.

But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, forgiving us our sins and cleansing us from all unrighteousness.

and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole 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.

And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.

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.

And now, little children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame when he comes back.

and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing to him.

And the commandment we have from him is this: that the one who loves God should love his fellow Christian too.

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