\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}That
which
was
from
the
beginning,
that
which
we
have
heard,
that
which
we
have
seen
with
our
eyes,
that
which
we
beheld,
and
our
hands
handled,
concerning
the
Word
of
life
\VS{2}(and
the
life
was
manifested,
and
we
have
seen,
and
bear
witness,
and
declare
unto
you
the
life,
the
eternal
{\ADD{
life}},
which
was
with
the
Father,
and
was
manifested
unto
us);
\VS{3}that
which
we
have
seen
and
heard
declare
we
unto
you
also,
that
ye
also
may
have
fellowship
with
us:
yea,
and
our
fellowship
is
with
the
Father,
and
with
his
Son
Jesus
Christ:
\VS{4}and
these
things
we
write,
that
our
joy
may
be
made
full.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{5}And
this
is
the
message
which
we
have
heard
from
him
and
announce
unto
you,
that
God
is
light,
and
in
him
is
no
darkness
at
all.
\VS{6}If
we
say
that
we
have
fellowship
with
him
and
walk
in
the
darkness,
we
lie,
and
do
not
the
truth:
\VS{7}but
if
we
walk
in
the
light,
as
he
is
in
the
light,
we
have
fellowship
one
with
another,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
his
Son
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin.
\VS{8}If
we
say
that
we
have
no
sin,
we
deceive
ourselves,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
us.
\VS{9}If
we
confess
our
sins,
he
is
faithful
and
righteous
to
forgive
us
our
sins,
and
to
cleanse
us
from
all
unrighteousness.
\VS{10}If
we
say
that
we
have
not
sinned,
we
make
him
a
liar,
and
his
word
is
not
in
us.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}My
little
children,
these
things
write
I
unto
you
that
ye
may
not
sin.
And
if
any
man
sin,
we
have
an
Advocate
with
the
Father,
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous:
\VS{2}and
he
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sins;
and
not
for
ours
only,
but
also
for
the
whole
world.
\VS{3}And
hereby
we
know
that
we
know
him,
if
we
keep
his
commandments.
\VS{4}He
that
saith,
I
know
him,
and
keepeth
not
his
commandments,
is
a
liar,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him;
\VS{5}but
whoso
keepeth
his
word,
in
him
verily
hath
the
love
of
God
been
perfected.
Hereby
we
know
that
we
are
in
him:
\VS{6}he
that
saith
he
abideth
in
him
ought
himself
also
to
walk
even
as
he
walked.
\par }{\PP \VS{7}Beloved,
no
new
commandment
write
I
unto
you,
but
an
old
commandment
which
ye
had
from
the
beginning:
the
old
commandment
is
the
word
which
ye
heard.
\VS{8}Again,
a
new
commandment
write
I
unto
you,
which
thing
is
true
in
him
and
in
you;
because
the
darkness
is
passing
away,
and
the
true
light
already
shineth.
\VS{9}He
that
saith
he
is
in
the
light
and
hateth
his
brother,
is
in
the
darkness
even
until
now.
\VS{10}He
that
loveth
his
brother
abideth
in
the
light,
and
there
is
no
occasion
of
stumbling
in
him.
\VS{11}But
he
that
hateth
his
brother
is
in
the
darkness,
and
walketh
in
the
darkness,
and
knoweth
not
whither
he
goeth,
because
the
darkness
hath
blinded
his
eyes.
\par }{\PP \VS{12}I
write
unto
you,
{\ADD{
my}}
little
children,
because
your
sins
are
forgiven
you
for
his
name’s
sake.
\VS{13}I
write
unto
you,
fathers,
because
ye
know
him
who
is
from
the
beginning.
I
write
unto
you,
young
men,
because
ye
have
overcome
the
evil
one.
I
have
written
unto
you,
little
children,
because
ye
know
the
Father.
\VS{14}I
have
written
unto
you,
fathers,
because
ye
know
him
who
is
from
the
beginning.
I
have
written
unto
you,
young
men,
because
ye
are
strong,
and
the
word
of
God
abideth
in
you,
and
ye
have
overcome
the
evil
one.
\VS{15}Love
not
the
world,
neither
the
things
that
are
in
the
world.
If
any
man
love
the
world,
the
love
of
the
Father
is
not
in
him.
\VS{16}For
all
that
is
in
the
world,
the
lust
of
the
flesh
and
the
lust
of
the
eyes
and
the vainglory
of
life,
is
not
of
the
Father,
but
is
of
the
world.
\VS{17}And
the
world
passeth
away,
and
the
lust
thereof:
but
he
that
doeth
the
will
of
God
abideth
for
ever.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{18}Little
children,
it
is
the
last
hour:
and
as
ye
heard
that antichrist
cometh,
even
now
have
there
arisen
many antichrists;
whereby
we
know
that
it
is
the
last
hour.
\VS{19}They
went
out
from
us,
but
they
were
not
of
us;
for
if
they
had
been
of
us,
they
would
have
continued
with
us:
but
{\ADD{
they
went
out}},
that
they
might
be
made
manifest
that
they
all
are
not
of
us.
\VS{20}And
ye
have
an
anointing
from
the
Holy
One,
and
ye
know
all
things.
\VS{21}I
have
not
written
unto
you
because
ye
know
not
the
truth,
but
because
ye
know
it,
and
because
no
lie
is
of
the
truth.
\VS{22}Who
is
the
liar
but
he
that denieth
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ?
This
is
the antichrist,
{\ADD{
even}}
he
that denieth
the
Father
and
the
Son.
\VS{23}Whosoever denieth
the
Son,
the
same
hath
not
the
Father:
he
that
confesseth
the
Son
hath
the
Father
also.
\VS{24}As
for
you,
let
that
abide
in
you
which
ye
heard
from
the
beginning.
If
that
which
ye
heard
from
the
beginning
abide
in
you,
ye
also
shall
abide
in
the
Son,
and
in
the
Father.
\VS{25}And
this
is
the
promise
which
he
promised
us,
{\ADD{
even}}
the
life
eternal.
\VS{26}These
things
have
I
written
unto
you
concerning
them
that
would
lead
you
astray.
\VS{27}And
as
for
you,
the
anointing
which
ye
received
of
him
abideth
in
you,
and
ye
need
not
that
any
one
teach
you;
but
as
his
anointing
teacheth
you
concerning
all
things,
and
is
true,
and
is
no
lie,
and
even
as
it
taught
you,
ye
abide
in
him.
\VS{28}And
now,
{\ADD{
my}}
little
children,
abide
in
him;
that,
if
he
shall
be
manifested,
we
may
have
boldness,
and
not
be
ashamed
before
him
at
his
coming.
\VS{29}If
ye
know
that
he
is
righteous,
ye
know
that
every
one
also
that
doeth
righteousness
is
begotten
of
him.
\par }{\BB \par }
\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Behold
what
manner
of
love
the
Father
hath
bestowed
upon
us,
that
we
should
be
called
children
of
God;
and
{\ADD{
such}}
we
are.
For
this
cause
the
world
knoweth
us
not,
because
it
knew
him
not.
\VS{2}Beloved,
now
are
we
children
of
God,
and
it
is
not
yet
made
manifest
what
we
shall
be.
We
know
that,
if
he
shall
be
manifested,
we
shall
be
like
him;
for
we
shall
see
him
even
as
he
is.
\VS{3}And
every
one
that
hath
this
hope
{\ADD{
set}}
on
him
purifieth
himself,
even
as
he
is
pure.
\VS{4}Every
one
that
doeth
sin
doeth
also lawlessness;
and
sin
is lawlessness.
\VS{5}And
ye
know
that
he
was
manifested
to
take
away
sins;
and
in
him
is
no
sin.
\VS{6}Whosoever
abideth
in
him
sinneth
not:
whosoever
sinneth
hath
not
seen
him,
neither
knoweth
him.
\VS{7}{\ADD{
My}}
little
children,
let
no
man
lead
you
astray:
he
that
doeth
righteousness
is
righteous,
even
as
he
is
righteous:
\VS{8}he
that
doeth
sin
is
of
the
devil;
for
the
devil
sinneth
from
the
beginning.
To
this
end
was
the
Son
of
God
manifested,
that
he
might
destroy
the
works
of
the
devil.
\VS{9}Whosoever
is
begotten
of
God
doeth
no
sin,
because
his
seed
abideth
in
him:
and
he
cannot
sin,
because
he
is
begotten
of
God.
\VS{10}In
this
the
children
of
God
are
manifest,
and
the
children
of
the
devil:
whosoever
doeth
not
righteousness
is
not
of
God,
neither
he
that
loveth
not
his
brother.
\VS{11}For
this
is
the
message
which
ye
heard
from
the
beginning,
that
we
should
love
one
another:
\VS{12}not
as
Cain
was
of
the
evil
one,
and
slew
his
brother.
And
wherefore
slew
he
him?
Because
his
works
were
evil,
and
his
brother’s
righteous.
\par }{\PP \VS{13}Marvel
not,
brethren,
if
the
world
hateth
you.
\VS{14}We
know
that
we
have
passed
out
of
death
into
life,
because
we
love
the
brethren.
He
that
loveth
not
abideth
in
death.
\VS{15}Whosoever
hateth
his
brother
is
a
murderer:
and
ye
know
that
no
murderer
hath
eternal
life
abiding
in
him.
\VS{16}Hereby
know
we
love,
because
he
laid
down
his
life
for
us:
and
we
ought
to
lay
down
our
lives
for
the
brethren.
\VS{17}But
whoso
hath
the
world’s
goods,
and
beholdeth
his
brother
in
need,
and
shutteth
up
his
compassion
from
him,
how
doth
the
love
of
God
abide
in
him?
\VS{18}{\ADD{
My}}
little
children,
let
us
not
love
in
word,
neither
with
the
tongue;
but
in
deed
and
truth.
\VS{19}Hereby
shall
we
know
that
we
are
of
the
truth,
and
shall
assure
our
heart
before
him:
\VS{20}because
if
our
heart
condemn
us,
God
is
greater
than
our
heart,
and
knoweth
all
things.
\VS{21}Beloved,
if
our
heart
condemn
us
not,
we
have
boldness
toward
God;
\VS{22}and
whatsoever
we
ask
we
receive
of
him,
because
we
keep
his
commandments
and
do
the
things
that
are
pleasing
in
his
sight.
\VS{23}And
this
is
his
commandment,
that
we
should
believe
in
the
name
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ,
and
love
one
another,
even
as
he
gave
us
commandment.
\VS{24}And
he
that
keepeth
his
commandments
abideth
in
him,
and
he
in
him.
And
hereby
we
know
that
he
abideth
in
us,
by
the
Spirit
which
he
gave
us.
\par }{\BB \par }
\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Beloved,
believe
not
every
spirit,
but
prove
the
spirits,
whether
they
are
of
God;
because
many
false
prophets
are
gone
out
into
the
world.
\VS{2}Hereby
know
ye
the
Spirit
of
God:
every
spirit
that
confesseth
that
Jesus
Christ
is
come
in
the
flesh
is
of
God:
\VS{3}and
every
spirit
that
confesseth
not
Jesus
is
not
of
God:
and
this
is
the
{\ADD{
spirit}}
of
the antichrist,
whereof
ye
have
heard
that
it
cometh;
and
now
it
is
in
the
world
already.
\VS{4}Ye
are
of
God,
{\ADD{
my}}
little
children,
and
have
overcome
them:
because
greater
is
he
that
is
in
you
than
he
that
is
in
the
world.
\VS{5}They
are
of
the
world:
therefore
speak
they
{\ADD{
as}}
of
the
world,
and
the
world
heareth
them.
\VS{6}We
are
of
God:
he
that
knoweth
God
heareth
us;
he
who
is
not
of
God
heareth
us
not.
By
this
we
know
the
spirit
of
truth,
and
the
spirit
of
error.
\par }{\PP \VS{7}Beloved,
let
us
love
one
another:
for
love
is
of
God;
and
every
one
that
loveth
is
begotten
of
God,
and
knoweth
God.
\VS{8}He
that
loveth
not
knoweth
not
God;
for
God
is
love.
\VS{9}Herein
was
the
love
of
God
manifested
in
us,
that
God
hath
sent
his
only
begotten
Son
into
the
world
that
we
might
live
through
him.
\VS{10}Herein
is
love,
not
that
we
loved
God,
but
that
he
loved
us,
and
sent
his
Son
{\ADD{
to
be}}
the
propitiation
for
our
sins.
\VS{11}Beloved,
if
God
so
loved
us,
we
also
ought
to
love
one
another.
\VS{12}No
man
hath
beheld
God
at
any
time:
if
we
love
one
another,
God
abideth
in
us,
and
his
love
is
perfected
in
us:
\VS{13}hereby
we
know
that
we
abide
in
him
and
he
in
us,
because
he
hath
given
us
of
his
Spirit.
\VS{14}And
we
have
beheld
and
bear
witness
that
the
Father
hath
sent
the
Son
{\ADD{
to
be}}
the
Saviour
of
the
world.
\VS{15}Whosoever
shall
confess
that
Jesus
is
the
Son
of
God,
God
abideth
in
him,
and
he
in
God.
\VS{16}And
we
know
and
have
believed
the
love
which
God
hath
in
us.
God
is
love;
and
he
that
abideth
in
love
abideth
in
God,
and
God
abideth
in
him.
\VS{17}Herein
is
love
made
perfect
with
us,
that
we
may
have
boldness
in
the
day
of
judgment;
because
as
he
is,
even
so
are
we
in
this
world.
\VS{18}There
is
no
fear
in
love:
but
perfect
love
casteth
out
fear,
because
fear
hath
punishment;
and
he
that
feareth
is
not
made
perfect
in
love.
\VS{19}We
love,
because
he
first
loved
us.
\VS{20}If
a
man
say,
I
love
God,
and
hateth
his
brother,
he
is
a
liar:
for
he
that
loveth
not
his
brother
whom
he
hath
seen,
cannot
love
God
whom
he
hath
not
seen.
\VS{21}And
this
commandment
have
we
from
him,
that
he
who
loveth
God
love
his
brother
also.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Whosoever
believeth
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ
is
begotten
of
God:
and
whosoever
loveth
him
that

loveth
him
also
that
is
begotten
of
him.
\VS{2}Hereby
we
know
that
we
love
the
children
of
God,
when
we
love
God
and
do
his
commandments.
\VS{3}For
this
is
the
love
of
God,
that
we
keep
his
commandments:
and
his
commandments
are
not
grievous.
\VS{4}For
whatsoever
is
begotten
of
God
overcometh
the
world:
and
this
is
the
victory
that
hath
overcome
the
world,
{\ADD{
even}}
our

who
is
he
that
overcometh
the
world,
but
he
that
believeth
that
Jesus
is
the
Son
of
God?
\VS{6}This
is
he
that
came
by
water
and
blood,
{\ADD{
even}}
Jesus
Christ;
not
with
the
water
only,
but
with
the
water
and
with
the
blood.
\VS{7}And
it
is
the
Spirit
that
beareth
witness,
because
the
Spirit
is
the
truth.
\VS{8}For
there
are
three
who
bear
witness,
the
Spirit,
and
the
water,
and
the
blood:
and
the
three
agree
in
one.
\VS{9}If
we
receive
the
witness
of
men,
the
witness
of
God
is
greater:
for
the
witness
of
God
is
this,
that
he
hath
borne
witness
concerning
his
Son.
\VS{10}He
that
believeth
on
the
Son
of
God
hath
the
witness
in
him:
he
that
believeth
not
God
hath
made
him
a
liar;
because
he
hath
not
believed
in
the
witness
that
God
hath
borne
concerning
his
Son.
\VS{11}And
the
witness
is
this,
that
God
gave
unto
us
eternal
life,
and
this
life
is
in
his
Son.
\VS{12}He
that
hath

that

ask,
we
know
that
we
have
the
petitions
which
we
have
asked
of
him.
\VS{16}If
any
man
see
his
brother
sinning
a
sin
not
unto
death,
he
shall
ask,
and
{\ADD{
God}}
will
give
him
life
for
them
that
sin
not
unto
death.
There
is
a
sin
unto
death:
not
concerning
this
do
I
say
that
he
should
make
request.
\VS{17}All
unrighteousness
is
sin:
and
there
is
a
sin
not
unto
death.
\par }{\PP \VS{18}We
know
that
whosoever
is
begotten
of
God
sinneth
not;
but
he
that
was
begotten
of
God
keepeth
himself,
and
the
evil
one
toucheth
him
not.
\VS{19}We
know
that
we
are
of
God,
and
the
whole
world
lieth
in
the
evil
one.
\VS{20}And
we
know
that
the
Son
of
God
is
come,
and
hath
given
us
an
understanding,
that
we
know
him
that
is
true,
and
we
are
in
him
that
is
true,
{\ADD{
even}}
in
his
Son
Jesus
Christ.
This
is
the
true
God,
and
eternal
life.
\VS{21}{\ADD{
My}}
little
children,
guard
yourselves
from
idols.
