Revised Version 1895
1BeholdG3708 whatG3588 manner ofG1223 loveG26 theG3588 FatherG3962 hath bestowedG1325 uponG1510 usG1325, thatG3754 weG2249 shouldG2443 beG1510 calledG2564 childrenG5043 ofG1223 GodG2316: andG2532 suchG3778 weG2249 areG1510. ForG3754 thisG3778 causeG1325 theG3588 worldG2889 knoweth usG1325 notG3756, becauseG3754 itG846 knewG1097 himG846 notG3756. 2BelovedG27, nowG3568 areG1510 weG1437 childrenG5043 ofG2316 GodG2316, andG2532 itG846 isG1510 notG1510 yetG2532 madeG5319 manifestG5319 whatG5101 weG1437 shallG2532 beG1510. WeG1437 knowG1492 thatG3754, ifG1437 heG2532 shallG2532 beG1510 manifestedG5319, weG1437 shallG2532 beG1510 likeG3664 himG846; forG3754 weG1437 shallG2532 seeG3708 himG846 evenG2532 asG2531 heG2532 isG1510. 3AndG2532 everyG3956 oneG1438 thatG1565 hath thisG3778 hopeG1680 set onG1909 himG846 purifieth himselfG1438, evenG2532 asG2531 heG2532 isG1510 pureG53. 4EveryG3956 oneG3588 thatG3956 doeth sinG266 doeth alsoG2532 lawlessnessG458: andG2532 sinG266 isG1510 lawlessnessG458. 5AndG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 heG2532 wasG1510 manifestedG5319 toG2443 takeG142 awayG142 sinsG266; andG2532 inG1722 himG846 isG1510 noG3756 sinG266. 6Whosoever abideth inG1722 himG846 sinneth notG3756: whosoever sinneth hath notG3756 seenG3708 himG846, neitherG3756 knoweth himG846. 7MyG4160 littleG5040 childrenG5040, letG1510 noG3367 manG1342 leadG1510 youG5210 astrayG4105: heG1510 thatG1565 doeth righteousnessG1343 isG1510 righteousG1342, even asG2531 heG1510 isG1510 righteousG1342: 8heG3778 thatG3754 doeth sinG266 isG1510 ofG5207 theG3588 devilG1228; forG1519 theG3588 devilG1228 sinneth fromG575 theG3588 beginningG746. ToG1519 thisG3778 endG1519 wasG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 GodG2316 manifestedG5319, thatG3754 heG3778 mightG2316 destroyG3089 theG3588 worksG2041 ofG5207 theG3588 devilG1228. 9Whosoever is begottenG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 doeth noG3756 sinG266, becauseG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 abideth inG1722 himG846: andG2532 heG2532 cannotG3756 sinG266, becauseG3754 heG2532 is begottenG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316. 10InG1722 thisG3778 theG3956 childrenG5043 ofG1537 GodG2316 areG1510 manifest, andG2532 theG3956 childrenG5043 ofG1537 theG3956 devilG1228: whosoever doeth notG3756 righteousnessG1343 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316, neitherG3756 heG2532 thatG3778 loveth notG3756 hisG846 brotherG80. 11ForG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 messageG31 whichG3739 ye heardG191 fromG575 theG3588 beginningG746, thatG3754 weG3739 shouldG2443 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240: 12notG3756 asG2531 CainG2535 wasG1510 ofG1537 theG3588 evilG4190 oneG3588, andG2532 slewG4969 hisG846 brotherG80. AndG2532 wherefore slewG4969 heG2532 himG846? BecauseG3754 hisG846 worksG2041 wereG1510 evilG4190, andG2532 hisG846 brother’sG80 righteousG1342. 13MarvelG2296 notG3361, brethrenG80, ifG1487 theG3588 worldG2889 hateth youG5210. 14WeG2249 knowG1492 thatG3754 weG2249 have passedG3327 outG1537 ofG1537 deathG2288 intoG1519 lifeG2222, becauseG3754 weG2249 loveG25 theG3588 brethrenG80. HeG3754 thatG3754 loveth notG3361 abideth inG1722 deathG2288. 15Whosoever hateth hisG846 brotherG80 isG1510 a murdererG443: andG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 noG3756 murdererG443 hath eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 inG1722 himG846. 16Hereby knowG1097 weG2249 loveG26, becauseG3754 heG2532 laidG5087 downG5087 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG3754 usG1722: andG2532 weG2249 oughtG3784 toG2532 layG5087 downG5087 ourG2532 livesG5590 forG3754 theG3588 brethrenG80. 17ButG1161 whoso hath theG3588 world’sG2889 goodsG979, andG2532 beholdeth hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 needG5532, andG2532 shutteth up hisG846 compassionG4698 fromG575 himG846, howG4459 doth theG3588 loveG26 ofG575 GodG2316 abideG3306 inG1722 himG846? 18MyG1722 littleG5040 childrenG5040, let usG1722 notG3361 loveG25 inG1722 wordG3056, neitherG3366 withG1722 theG3588 tongueG1100; butG235 inG1722 deedG2041 andG2532 truthG225. 19Hereby shallG3778 weG2249 knowG1097 thatG3754 weG2249 areG1510 ofG1537 theG3588 truthG225, andG2532 shallG3778 assureG3982 ourG2532 heartG2588 beforeG1715 himG846, 20whereinsoever ourG2316 heartG2588 condemnG2607 us; becauseG3754 GodG2316 isG1510 greaterG3173 thanG3173 ourG2316 heartG2588, andG2532 knoweth allG3956 thingsG3956. 21BelovedG27, ifG1437 ourG2316 heartG2588 condemnG2607 us notG3361, weG2249 have boldnessG3954 towardG4314 GodG2316; 22andG2532 whatsoever weG3739 askG154, weG3739 receiveG2983 ofG575 himG846, becauseG3754 weG3739 keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 doG4160 theG3588 thingsG3739 thatG3754 are pleasingG701 inG2532 hisG846 sightG1799. 23AndG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 hisG846 commandmentG1785, thatG2443 weG2249 shouldG2443 believeG4100 inG2532 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG5207 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, evenG2532 asG2531 heG2532 gaveG1325 usG1325 commandmentG1785. 24AndG2532 heG2532 thatG3754 keepeth hisG846 commandmentsG1785 abideth inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG2532 inG1722 himG846. AndG2532 hereby weG2249 knowG1097 thatG3754 heG2532 abideth inG1722 usG1325, byG1722 theG3588 SpiritG4151 whichG3739 heG2532 gaveG1325 usG1325.
