Behold! what love has given to us the Father, that children of God we may be called — and we are! Because of this, the world not knows us, because not it knew Him.

Beloved, now children of God are we, and not yet has been revealed what we will be. We know that when He shall appear, like Him we will be, for we will see Him as He is.

And everyone who is having hope this in Him, purifies himself, just as He pure is.

Everyone who is committing sin, also lawlessness commits; and sin is lawlessness.

And you know that He appeared so that the sins He may take away; and sin in Him not there is.

Anyone in Him abiding, not sins; anyone who is sinning, not has seen Him, nor has he known Him.

little children no one should lead astray you; who are practicing righteousness, righteous is, just as He righteous is.

The [one] practicing sin, of the devil is, because from [the] beginning the devil has been sinning. For this [reason] was revealed the Son of God, so that He may destroy the works of the devil.

Anyone who born of God, sin not practices, because seed of Him in him abides, and not he is able to continue sinning, because of God he has been born.

Through this manifest are the children of God and the children of the devil: Anyone not practicing righteousness not is of God, and also the [one] not loving the brother of him.

For this is the message that you have heard from [the] beginning, that we may love one another,

not as Cain , [who] of the evil [one] was and slew the brother of him. And because of what he slayed him? Because the works of him evil were, those however of the brother of him, righteous.

And not do be surprised, brothers, if hates you the world.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love [our] brothers. The [one] not loving abides in death.

Everyone who is hating the brother of him a murderer is; and you know that any murderer, not has life eternal in him abiding.

By this we have known love, because He for us the life of Him laid down; and we ought for [our] brothers, [our] lives to lay down.

Who[ever] now maybe may have the goods of the world, and may see the brother of him need having, and may close up the heart of him from him, how the love of God abides in him?

Little children, not we may love in word, nor in tongue, but in action and in truth.

And by this we will know that of the truth we are, and before Him we will assure heart of us,

that if shall condemn [us] our heart, that greater than is the God of the heart of us, and He knows all things.

Beloved, if the heart of us not shall condemn, confidence we have toward God,

and whatever maybe we shall ask, we receive from Him, because the commandments of Him we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do.
