1BelovedG27, believeG4100 notG3361 everyG3956 spiritG4151, butG235 tryG1381 the spiritsG3588G4151 whetherG1487 they areG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316: becauseG3754 manyG4183 false prophetsG5578 are gone outG1831 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889. 2HerebyG1722G3778 know yeG1097 the SpiritG3588G4151 of GodG3588G2316: EveryG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confesseth thatG3670 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316: 3AndG2532 everyG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessethG3670 notG3361 that JesusG3588G2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316: andG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 thatG3588 spirit of antichristG3588G500, whereofG3739 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it should comeG2064; andG2532 even nowG3568 alreadyG2235 is itG1510 inG1722 the worldG3588G2889. 4YeG4771 areG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, little childrenG5040, andG2532 have overcomeG3528 themG846: becauseG3754 greaterG3173 is heG1510 thatG3588 is inG1722 youG4771, thanG2228 he thatG3588 is inG1722 the worldG3588G2889. 5TheyG846 areG1510 ofG1537 the worldG3588G2889: thereforeG1223 speak theyG2980 ofG1537 the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 the worldG3588G2889 hearethG191 themG846. 6WeG1473 areG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316: he that knowethG1097 GodG3588G2316 hearethG191 usG1473; he thatG3739 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316 hearethG191 notG3756 usG1473. HerebyG1537 know weG1097 the spiritG3588G4151 of truthG3588G225, andG2532 the spiritG3588G4151 of errorG3588G4106.

7BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240: forG3754 loveG3588G26 isG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316; andG2532 every oneG3956 thatG3588 lovethG25 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 knowethG1097 GodG3588G2316. 8He that lovethG25 notG3361 knowethG1097 notG3756 GodG3588G2316; forG3754 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 loveG26. 9InG1722 thisG3778 was manifestedG5319 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316 towardG1722 usG1473, because thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 sentG649 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG3588G5207 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889, thatG2443 we might liveG2198 throughG1223 himG846. 10HereinG1722 isG1510 loveG3588G26, notG3756 thatG3754 weG1473 lovedG25 GodG3588G2316, butG235 thatG3754 heG846 lovedG25 usG1473, andG2532 sentG649 hisG846 SonG3588G5207 to be the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG1473 sinsG3588G266. 11BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG3588G2316 soG3779 lovedG25 usG1473, weG1473 oughtG3784 alsoG2532 to loveG25 one anotherG240. 12No manG3762 hath seenG2300 GodG2316 at any timeG4455. IfG1437 we loveG25 one anotherG240, GodG3588G2316 dwellethG3306 inG1722 usG1473, andG2532 hisG846 loveG3588G26 isG1510 perfectedG5048 inG1722 usG1473. 13HerebyG1722 know weG1097 thatG3754 we dwellG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 usG1473, becauseG3754 he hath givenG1325 usG1473 ofG1537 hisG846 SpiritG3588G4151. 14AndG2532 weG1473 have seenG2300 andG2532 do testifyG3140 thatG3754 the FatherG3588G3962 sentG649 the SonG3588G5207 to be the SaviourG4990 of the worldG3588G2889. 15WhosoeverG3739 shall confessG3670 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316, GodG3588G2316 dwellethG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 GodG3588G2316. 16AndG2532 weG1473 have knownG1097 andG2532 believedG4100 the loveG3588G26 thatG3739 GodG3588G2316 hathG2192 toG1722 usG1473. GodG3588G2316 isG1510 loveG26; andG2532 he that dwellethG3306 inG1722 loveG3588G26 dwellethG3306 inG1722 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 himG846. 17HereinG1722 isG5048 ourG3326 loveG3588G26 made perfectG5048, thatG2443 we may haveG2192 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the dayG3588G2250 of judgmentG3588G2920: becauseG3754 asG2531 heG1565 isG1510, soG2532 areG1510 weG1473 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889. 18There isG1510 noG3756 fearG5401 inG1722 loveG3588G26; butG235 perfectG5046 loveG26 castethG906 outG1854 fearG3588G5401: becauseG3754 fearG3588G5401 hathG2192 tormentG2851. He that fearethG5399 isG5048 notG3756 made perfectG5048 inG1722 loveG3588G26. 19WeG1473 loveG25 himG846, becauseG3754 heG846 firstG4413 lovedG25 usG1473. 20IfG1437 a manG5100 sayG3004, I loveG25 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG3588G80, he isG1510 a liarG5583: forG1063 he that lovethG25 notG3361 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 whomG3739 he hath seenG3708, howG4459 canG1410 he loveG25 GodG3588G2316 whomG3739 he hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708? 21AndG2532 thisG3778 commandmentG3588G1785 have weG2192 fromG575 himG846, ThatG2443 he who lovethG25 GodG3588G2316 loveG25 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 alsoG2532.
