{\MT The First Epistle General of John

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}That
which
was
from [the]
beginning,
that
which
we
have
heard,
which
we
have
seen
with
our
eyes;
that
which
we contemplated,
and
our
hands handled,
concerning
the
word
of
life;
\VS{2}(and
the
life
has
been
manifested,
and
we
have
seen,
and
bear
witness,
and
report
to
you
the
eternal
life,
which
was
with
the
Father,
and
has
been
manifested
to
us:)
\VS{3}that
which
we
have
seen
and
heard
we
report
to
you,
that
{\BD{ye}}
also
may
have
fellowship
with
us;
and
our
fellowship [is]
indeed
with
the
Father,
and
with
his
Son
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{4}And
these
things
write
we
to
you
that
your
joy
may
be
full.
\VS{5}And
this
is
the
message
which
we
have
heard
from
him,
and
declare
to
you,
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:5 }
Elohim}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
darkness,
we
lie,
and
do
not practise
the
truth.
\VS{7}But
if
we
walk
in
the
light
as
{\BD{
he}}
is
in
the
light,
we
have
fellowship
with
one
another,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanses
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
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
children,
these
things
I
write
to
you
in
order
that ye
may
not
sin;
and
if
any
one
sin,
we
have
a patron
with
the
Father,
Jesus
Christ [the]
righteous;
\VS{2}and
{\BD{
he}}
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sins;
but
not
for
ours
alone,
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
says,
I
know
him,
and
does
not
keep
his
commandments,
is
a
liar,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him;
\VS{5}but
whoever
keeps
his
word,
in
him verily
the
love
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:5 }
Elohim}God
is
perfected. Hereby
we
know
that
we
are
in
him.
\VS{6}He
that
says
he
abides
in
him
ought,
even
as
{\BD{
he}}
walked,
himself
also [so]
to
walk.
\VS{7}Beloved,
I
write
no
new
commandment
to
you,
but
an
old
commandment,
which ye
have
had
from
the
beginning.
The
old
commandment
is
the
word
which ye
heard.
\VS{8}Again,
I
write
a
new
commandment
to
you,
which
thing
is
true
in
him
and
in
you,
because
the
darkness
is
passing
and
the
true
light
already
shines.
\VS{9}He
who
says
he
is
in
the
light,
and
hates
his
brother,
is
in
the
darkness
until
now.
\VS{10}He
that
loves
his
brother
abides
in
light,
and
there
is
no occasion
of
stumbling
in
him.
\VS{11}But
he
that
hates
his
brother
is
in
the
darkness,
and
walks
in
the
darkness,
and
knows
not
where
he
goes,
because
the
darkness
has
blinded
his
eyes.
\VS{12}I
write
to
you,
children,
because [your]
sins
are
forgiven
you
for
his name's
sake.
\VS{13}I
write
to
you,
fathers,
because ye
have
known
him [that
is]
from
the
beginning.
I
write
to
you,
young
men,
because ye
have
overcome
the
wicked [one].
I
write
to
you, little
children,
because ye
have
known
the
Father.
\VS{14}I
have
written
to
you,
fathers,
because ye
have
known
him [that
is]
from
the
beginning.
I
have
written
to
you,
young
men,
because ye
are
strong,
and
the
word
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:14 }
Elohim}God
abides
in
you,
and ye
have
overcome
the
wicked [one].
\VS{15}Love
not
the
world,
nor
the
things
in
the
world.
If
any
one
love
the
world,
the
love
of
the
Father
is
not
in
him;
\VS{16}because
all
that [is]
in
the
world,
the
lust
of
the
flesh,
and
the
lust
of
the
eyes,
and
the
pride
of
life,
is
not
of
the
Father,
but
is
of
the
world.
\VS{17}And
the
world
is
passing,
and
its
lust,
but
he
that
does
the
will
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:17 }
Elohim}God
abides
for
eternity.
\VS{18}Little
children,
it
is [the]
last
hour,
and, according
as ye
have
heard
that
antichrist
comes,
even
now
there
have
come
many
antichrists, whence
we
know
that
it
is [the]
last
hour.
\VS{19}They
went
out
from
among
us,
but
they
were
not
of
us;
for
if
they
had
been
of
us,
they
would
have surely
remained
with
us,
but
that
they
might
be
made
manifest
that
none
are
of
us.
\VS{20}And
{\BD{ye}}
have [the] unction
from
the
holy [one],
and ye
know
all
things.
\VS{21}I
have
not
written
to
you
because ye
do
not
know
the
truth,
but
because ye
know
it,
and
that
no
lie
is
of
the
truth.
\VS{22}Who
is
the
liar
but
he
who
denies
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ?
{\BD{
He}}
is
the
antichrist
who
denies
the
Father
and
the
Son.
\VS{23}Whoever
denies
the
Son
has
not
the
Father
either;
he
who
confesses
the
Son
has
the
Father
also.
\VS{24}As
for
{\BD{
you}}
let
that
which ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning
abide
in
you:
if
what ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning
abides
in
you,
{\BD{ye}}
also
shall
abide
in
the
Son
and
in
the
Father.
\VS{25}And
this
is
the
promise
which
{\BD{
he}}
has
promised us,
life
eternal.
\VS{26}These
things
have
I
written
to
you
concerning
those
who lead
you
astray:
\VS{27}and
{\BD{
yourselves}},
the unction
which ye
have
received
from
him
abides
in
you,
and ye
have
not
need
that
any
one
should
teach
you;
but
as
the
same unction
teaches
you
as
to
all
things,
and
is
true
and
is
not
a
lie,
and
even
as
it
has
taught
you, ye
shall
abide
in
him.
\VS{28}And
now,
children,
abide
in
him,
that
if
he
be
manifested
we
may
have
boldness,
and
not
be
put
to
shame
from
before
him
at
his
coming.
\VS{29}If ye
know
that
he
is
righteous,
know
that
every
one
who practises
righteousness
is
begotten
of
him.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}See
what
love
the
Father
has
given
to
us,
that
we
should
be
called [the]
children
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:1 }
Elohim}God.
For
this
reason
the
world
knows
us
not,
because
it
knew
him
not.
\VS{2}Beloved,
now
are
we
children
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:2 }
Elohim}God,
and
what
we
shall
be
has
not
yet
been
manifested;
we
know
that
if
it
is
manifested
we
shall
be
like
him,
for
we
shall
see
him
as
he
is.
\VS{3}And
every
one
that
has
this
hope
in
him
purifies
himself,
even
as
{\BD{
he}}
is
pure.
\VS{4}Every
one
that practises
sin practises
also
lawlessness;
and
sin
is
lawlessness.
\VS{5}And ye
know
that
{\BD{
he}}
has
been
manifested
that
he
might
take
away
our
sins;
and
in
him
sin
is
not.
\VS{6}Whoever
abides
in
him,
does
not
sin:
whoever
sins,
has
not
seen
him
or
known
him.
\VS{7}Children,
let
no
man
lead
you
astray;
he
that practises
righteousness
is
righteous, even
as
{\BD{
he}}
is
righteous.
\VS{8}He
that practises
sin
is
of
the
devil;
for
from [the]
beginning
the
devil
sins.
To
this
end
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:8 }
Elohim}God
has
been
manifested,
that
he
might undo
the
works
of
the
devil.
\VS{9}Whoever
has
been
begotten
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:9 }
Elohim}God
does
not practise
sin,
because
his
seed
abides
in
him,
and
he
cannot
sin,
because
he
has
been
begotten
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:9 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{10}In
this
are manifest
the
children
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:10 }
Elohim}God
and
the
children
of
the
devil.
Whoever
does
not practise
righteousness
is
not
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:10 }
Elohim}God,
and
he
who
does
not
love
his
brother.
\VS{11}For
this
is
the
message
which ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning,
that
we
should
love
one
another:
\VS{12}not
as
Cain
was
of
the
wicked
one,
and
slew
his
brother;
and
on account
of
what
slew
he
him?
because
his
works
were
wicked,
and
those
of
his
brother
righteous.
\VS{13}Do
not
wonder,
brethren,
if
the
world
hate
you.
\VS{14}{\BD{
We}}
know
that
we
have
passed
from
death
to
life,
because
we
love
the
brethren.
He
who
does
not
love [his]
brother
abides
in
death.
\VS{15}Every
one
that
hates
his
brother
is
a
murderer,
and ye
know
that
no
murderer
has
eternal
life
abiding
in
him.
\VS{16}Hereby
we
have
known
love,
because
{\BD{
he}}
has
laid
down
his
life
for
us;
and
{\BD{
we}}
ought
for
the
brethren
to
lay
down [our]
lives.
\VS{17}But whoso
may
have
the world's substance,
and
see
his
brother
having
need,
and
shut up
his bowels
from
him,
how
abides
the
love
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:17 }
Elohim}God
in
him?
\VS{18}Children, let
us
not
love
with
word,
nor
with
tongue,
but
in
deed
and
in
truth.
\VS{19}And hereby
we
shall
know
that
we
are
of
the
truth,
and
shall
persuade
our
hearts
before
him —
\VS{20}that
if
our
heart
condemn us,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:20 }
Elohim}God
is
greater
than
our
heart
and
knows
all
things.
\VS{21}Beloved,
if
our
heart
condemn us
not,
we
have
boldness towards
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:21 }
Elohim}God,
\VS{22}and whatsoever
we
ask
we
receive
from
him,
because
we
keep
his
commandments,
and practise
the
things
which
are
pleasing
in
his
sight.
\VS{23}And
this
is
his
commandment,
that
we
believe
on
the
name
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ,
and
that
we
love
one
another,
even
as
he
has
given
us
commandment.
\VS{24}And
he
that
keeps
his
commandments
abides
in
him,
and
he
in
him.
And hereby
we
know
that
he
abides
in
us,
by
the
Spirit
which
he
has
given
to
us.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Beloved,
believe
not
every
spirit,
but prove
the
spirits,
if
they
are
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:1 }
Elohim}God;
because
many
false
prophets
are
gone
out
into
the
world.
\VS{2}Hereby ye
know
the
Spirit
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:2 }
Elohim}God:
every
spirit
which
confesses
Jesus
Christ
come
in
flesh
is
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:2 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{3}and
every
spirit
which
does
not
confess
Jesus Christ
come
in flesh
is
not
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:3 }
Elohim}God:
and
this
is
that [power]
of
the
antichrist, [of]
which ye
have
heard
that
it
comes,
and
now
it
is
already
in
the
world.
\VS{4}{\BD{Ye}}
are
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:4 }
Elohim}God,
children,
and
have
overcome
them,
because
greater
is
he
that [is]
in
you
than
he
that [is]
in
the
world.
\VS{5}{\BD{
They}}
are
of
the
world;
for
this
reason
they
speak [as]
of
the
world,
and
the
world
hears
them.
\VS{6}{\BD{
We}}
are
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:6 }
Elohim}God;
he
that
knows
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:6 }
Elohim}God
hears
us;
he
who
is
not
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:6 }
Elohim}God
does
not
hear
us.
From
this
we
know
the
spirit
of
truth
and
the
spirit
of
error.
\VS{7}Beloved,
let
us
love
one
another;
because
love
is
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:7 }
Elohim}God,
and
every
one
that
loves
has
been
begotten
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:7 }
Elohim}God,
and
knows
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:7 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{8}He
that
loves
not
has
not
known
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:8 }
Elohim}God;
for
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:8 }
Elohim}God
is
love.
\VS{9}Herein
as
to
us
has been
manifested
the
love
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:9 }
Elohim}God,
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:9 }
Elohim}God
has
sent
his
only
begotten
Son
into
the
world,
that
we
might
live
through
him.
\VS{10}Herein
is
love,
not
that
we
loved
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:10 }
Elohim}God,
but
that
he
loved
us,
and
sent
his
Son
a
propitiation
for
our
sins.
\VS{11}Beloved,
if
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:11 }
Elohim}God
has
so
loved us,
we
also
ought
to
love
one
another.
\VS{12}No
one
has
seen
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:12 }
Elohim}God
at
any
time:
if
we
love
one
another,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:12 }
Elohim}God
abides
in
us,
and
his
love
is
perfected
in
us.
\VS{13}Hereby
we
know
that
we
abide
in
him
and
he
in
us,
that
he
has
given
to
us
of
his
Spirit.
\VS{14}And
{\BD{
we}}
have
seen,
and
testify,
that
the
Father
has
sent
the
Son [as] Saviour
of
the
world.
\VS{15}Whosoever
shall
confess
that
Jesus
is
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:15 }
Elohim}God,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:15 }
Elohim}God
abides
in
him,
and
he
in
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:15 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{16}And
{\BD{
we}}
have
known
and
have
believed
the
love
which
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:16 }
Elohim}God
has
to
us.
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:16 }
Elohim}God
is
love,
and
he
that
abides
in
love
abides
in
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:16 }
Elohim}God,
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:16 }
Elohim}God
in
him.
\VS{17}Herein
has
love
been
perfected
with
us
that
we
may
have
boldness
in
the
day
of
judgment,
that
even
as
{\BD{
he}}
is,
{\BD{
we}}
also
are
in
this
world.
\VS{18}There
is
no
fear
in
love,
but
perfect
love
casts
out
fear;
for
fear
has torment,
and
he
that
fears
has
not
been
made
perfect
in
love.
\VS{19}{\BD{
We}}
love
because
{\BD{
he}}
has
first
loved us.
\VS{20}If
any
one
say,
I
love
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:20 }
Elohim}God,
and
hate
his
brother,
he
is
a
liar:
for
he
that
loves
not
his
brother
whom
he
has
seen,
how
can
he
love
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:20 }
Elohim}God
whom
he
has
not
seen?
\VS{21}And
this
commandment
have
we
from
him,
That
he
that
loves
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:21 }
Elohim}God
love
also
his
brother.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Every
one
that
believes
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ
is
begotten
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:1 }
Elohim}God;
and
every
one
that
loves
him
that
has
begotten
loves
also
him
that
is
begotten
of
him.
\VS{2}Hereby
know
we
that
we
love
the
children
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:2 }
Elohim}God,
when
we
love
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:2 }
Elohim}God
and
keep
his
commandments.
\VS{3}For
this
is
the
love
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:3 }
Elohim}God,
that
we
keep
his
commandments;
and
his
commandments
are
not grievous.
\VS{4}For
all
that
has
been
begotten
of

the
victory
over
the

is
the
victory
which
has gotten

victory
over

that gets
the victory over
the
world,
but
he
that
believes
that
Jesus
is
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:5 }
Elohim}God?
\VS{6}This
is
he
that
came
by
water
and
blood,

not
by
water
only,
but
by
water
and
blood.
And
it
is
the
Spirit
that bears
witness,
for
the
Spirit
is
the
truth.
\VS{7}For
they
that
bear
witness
are
three:
\VS{8}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
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:9 }
Elohim}God
is
greater.
For
this
is
the
witness
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:9 }
Elohim}God [which]
he
has
witnessed
concerning
his
Son.
\VS{10}He
that
believes
on
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:10 }
Elohim}God
has
the
witness
in
himself;
he
that
does
not
believe
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:10 }
Elohim}God
has
made
him
a
liar,
because
he
has
not
believed
in
the
witness
which
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:10 }
Elohim}God
has
witnessed
concerning
his
Son.
\VS{11}And
this
is
the
witness,
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:11 }
Elohim}God
has
given
to
us
eternal
life;
and
this
life
is
in
his
Son.
\VS{12}He
that
has
the
Son
has
life:
he
that
has
not
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:12 }
Elohim}God
has
not
life.
\VS{13}These
things
have
I
written
to
you
that ye
may
know
that ye
have
eternal
life
who
believe
on
the
name
of
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:13 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{14}And
this
is
the
boldness
which
we
have towards
him,
that
if
we
ask
him
anything
according
to
his
will
he
hears
us.
\VS{15}And
if
we
know
that
he
hears
us, whatsoever
we
ask,
we
know
that
we
have
the petitions
which
we
have
asked
of
him.
\VS{16}If
any
one
see
his
brother
sinning
a
sin
not unto
death,
he
shall
ask,
and
he
shall
give
him
life,
for
those
that
do
not
sin unto
death.
There
is
a
sin
to
death:
I
do
not
say
of
that
that
he
should
make
a
request.
\VS{17}Every
unrighteousness
is
sin;
and
there
is
a
sin
not
to
death.
\VS{18}We
know
that
every
one
begotten
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:18 }
Elohim}God
does
not
sin,
but
he
that
has
been
begotten
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:18 }
Elohim}God
keeps
himself,
and
the
wicked [one]
does
not
touch
him.
\VS{19}We
know
that
we
are
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:19 }
Elohim}God,
and
the
whole
world
lies
in
the
wicked [one].
\VS{20}And
we
know
that
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:20 }
Elohim}God
has
come,
and
has
given
us
an
understanding
that
we
should
know
him
that [is]
true;
and
we
are
in
him
that [is]
true,
in
his
Son
Jesus
Christ.
He
is
the
true
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:20 }
Elohim}God
and
eternal
life.
\VS{21}Children,
keep
yourselves
from
idols.
