| 1 | Beholde, what manner of loue the Father hath bestowed vpon vs, that wee should be called the sonnes of God: therfore the world knoweth vs not, because it knewe him not. |
| 2 | Beloued, now are we the sonnes of God, and it doeth not yet appeare, what wee shall be: but wee know, that when he shall appeare, we shall bee like him: for we shall see him as he is. |
| 3 | And euery man that hath this hope in him, purifieth himselfe, euen as he is pure. |
| 4 | Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the lawe: for sinne is the transgression of the law. |
| 5 | And ye know that hee was manifested to take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne. |
| 6 | Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither knowen him. |
| 7 | Little children, let no man deceiue you: he that doth righteousnes, is righteous, euen as he is righteous. |
| 8 | He that committeth sinne, is of the deuill, for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose the Sonne of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the deuill. |
| 9 | Whosoeuer is borne of God, doth not commit sinne: for his seede remaineth in him, and he cannot sinne, because he is borne of God. |
| 10 | In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the deuill: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither hee that loueth not his brother. |
| 11 | For this is the message that yee heard from the beginning, that wee should loue one another. |
| 12 | Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe hee him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers righteous. |
| 13 | Marueile not, my brethren, if the world hate you. |
| 14 | Wee know that wee haue passed from death vnto life, because wee loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death. |
| 15 | Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a murtherer, and yee knowe that no murtherer hath eternall life abiding in him. |
| 16 | Hereby perceiue wee the loue of God, because he layd downe his life for vs, and wee ought to lay downe our liues for the brethren. |
| 17 | But who so hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth vp his bowels of compassion from him; how dwelleth the loue of God in him? |
| 18 | My little children, let vs not loue in word, neither in tongue, but indeede and in trueth. |
| 19 | And hereby wee know that wee are of the trueth, and shall assure our hearts before him. |
| 20 | For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things. |
| 21 | Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue wee confidence towards God. |
| 22 | And whatsoeuer we aske, wee receiue of him, because we keepe his commandement, and doe those things that are pleasing in his sight. |
| 23 | And this is his commandement, that we should beleeue on the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as hee gaue vs commandement. |
| 24 | And hee that keepeth his commandements dwelleth in him, and hee in him: and hereby wee know that hee abideth in vs, by the spirit which hee hath giuen vs. |
