I have not written to you that you do not know the truth, but that you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

If we say we do not bear the guilt of sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

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.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

Everyone who hates his fellow Christian is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

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