2My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.G3450G5040G5023G1125G5213G3363G264G3363G2532G1437G5100G264G2192G3875G4314G3962G2424G5547G13422He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.G2532G846G2076G2434G4012G2257G266G1161G3756G4012G2251G3440G235G2532G4012G3650G28893We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G1097G846G1437G5083G846G17854The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.G3004G1097G846G2532G5083G3361G846G1785G2076G5583G2532G225G2076G3756G1722G51295But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:G1161G3739G302G5083G846G3056G1722G5129G230G5048G26G2316G5048G1722G5129G1097G3754G2070G1722G8466Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.G3004G3306G1722G846G3784G846G2532G3779G4043G2531G1565G40437Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.G80G1125G3756G2537G1785G5213G235G3820G1785G3739G2192G575G746G3820G1785G2076G3056G3739G191G575G7468Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.G3825G2537G1785G1125G5213G3739G2076G227G1722G846G2532G1722G5213G3754G4653G3855G2532G228G5457G2235G53169Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.G3004G1511G1722G5457G2532G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2193G73710Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.G25G846G80G3306G1722G5457G2532G2076G3756G4625G1722G84611But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.G1161G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2532G4043G1722G4653G2532G1492G3756G4226G5217G3754G4653G5186G846G378812I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.G1125G5213G5040G3754G266G863G5213G1223G846G3686G122313I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G3528G4190G1125G5213G3813G3754G1097G396214I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G2075G2478G2532G3056G2316G3306G1722G5213G2532G3528G419015Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.G25G3361G2889G3366G1722G2889G1437G5100G25G2889G26G3962G2076G3756G1722G84616For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world.G3754G3956G1722G2889G1939G4561G2532G1939G3788G2532G212G979G2076G3756G1537G3962G235G2076G1537G288917The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.G2532G2889G3855G2532G1939G846G1161G4160G2307G2316G3306G1519G16518Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.G3813G2076G2078G5610G2532G2531G191G3754G500G2064G2532G3568G1096G4183G500G3606G1097G3754G2076G2078G561019They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.G1831G1537G2257G235G2258G3756G1537G2257G1063G1487G2258G1537G2257G302G3306G3326G2257G235G2443G5319G3754G1526G3756G3956G1537G225720But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.G2532G5210G2192G5545G575G40G2532G1492G395621I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.G1125G3756G1125G5213G3754G1492G3756G225G235G3754G1492G846G2532G3754G3956G3756G5579G2076G1537G22522Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.G5101G2076G5583G1508G720G3754G2424G2076G3756G5547G3778G2076G500G720G3962G2532G520723No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.G3956G720G5207G2192G3761G3962G3670G5207G2192G3962G253224See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.G3306G3767G3306G1722G5213G3739G5210G191G575G746G1437G3739G191G575G746G3306G1722G5213G5210G2532G3306G1722G5207G2532G1722G396225And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.G2532G3778G2076G1860G3739G846G1861G2254G166G222226I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.G5023G1125G5213G4012G4105G520927As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.G2532G5545G3739G5210G2983G575G846G3306G1722G5213G2532G5532G2192G3756G2443G5100G1321G5209G235G5613G846G5545G1321G5209G4012G3956G2532G2076G227G2532G2076G3756G5579G2532G2531G1321G5209G3306G1722G84628And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.G2532G3568G5040G3306G1722G846G2443G3752G5319G2192G3954G2532G3361G153G575G846G1722G846G395229If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.G1437G1492G3754G2076G1342G1097G3754G3956G4160G1343G1080G1537G846
