1 JOHN
1 John 1
1 That which was from the
beginning, which we have heard - which we have seen with our eyes, which we have
looked upon, and our hands have handled - of the Word of Life
2 (For the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and shew unto you that eternal
Life, which was with the Father and was manifested
unto us,)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have
fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father and with His
Son Yahshua the Christ,
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy
may be full.
5 This then is the message which we
have heard of Him and declare unto you: that God is light, and in Him is no
darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and
do not the truth;
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one
with another, and the blood of Yahshua the Christ His Son cleanseth
us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not
in us.
1 My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any one sin, we have an advocate with the Father: Yahshua the Christ the righteous,
2 And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for
[the sins of] the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments;
4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the
love of God perfected: by this know we that we are in Him.
6 He that saith he abideth
in Him ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which
ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8 On the other hand, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in
you, because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth:
9 He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even
until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light,
and there is none occasion of stumbling in him;
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh
in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for
His name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him [That is] from the
beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked
one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him [That is] from
the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and
the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome
the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
16 For all that [is] in the world - the lust of the flesh and the lust of the
eyes and the pride of life - is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Yea, the world passeth away and the lust thereof,
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time; and as ye heard that antichrist shall
come, even now are there many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last
time.
19 They went out from us but they were not of us, for if they had been of us
they would [no doubt] have continued with us; but [they went out], that they
might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye
know all things;
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye
know it, and [ye know] that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Yahshua is
the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth
the Father and the Son:
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the
Father.
24 Let therefore abide in you that which ye have heard from the beginning. If
that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall
continue in the Son and in the Father,
25 And this is the promise that He promised us: eternal life.
26 These [things] have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you,
27 But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth
in you, and ye need not that any one teach you: nay, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, abide in that
28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He shall appear, we may
have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that practiceth righteousness is born of Him.
1 Behold what manner of love the
Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God;
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew
Him not.
2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be, [but] we know that when He shall appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see
Him as He is.
3 And every one that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
4 Whosoever practiceth sin transgresseth
also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law;
5 And ye know that He was manifested to take away sins, for in Him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not, [and]
whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you: he that practiceth
righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
8 He that practiceth sin is of the devil, for the
devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not practice sin, for His seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he
is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever practiceth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother,
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning: that we should
love one another.
12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one and slew his
brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works
were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from
death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this perceive we the love [of Yahshua]: that He laid down His life for us;
and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good and seeth his
brother have need and shutteth up his bowels [of
compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in
him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue,
but in deed and in truth,
19 For by this we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts
before Him,
20 Because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we
confidence toward God,
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments
and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe
on the name of His Son Yahshua the Christ and love one another as He gave us
commandment.
24 Yea, he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him; and by this we know that He abideth in us: by the Spirit which He hath given us.
1 Beloved, believe
not every spirit; but try the spirits whether they are of God, because many
false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 By this know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth
Yahshua the Christ to have come in flesh is of God;
3 And every spirit that confesseth not Yahshua is not
of God: yea, this is the [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it
should come, and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He
That is in you is greater than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world, therefore speak they of the
world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us, [and] he that is not of God heareth
not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the
spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is
love.
9 In this was manifested the love
of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world
that we might live through Him.
10 Herein is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His
Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No one hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us.
13 By this know we that we dwell in Him and He in us: because He hath given us
of His Spirit.
14 Also, we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Yahshua is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us: God is love,
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth
in God, and God in him.
17 By this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth
out fear, because fear hath torment. He that feareth
is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because He first loved us.
20 If any one say, I love God, and hateth his brother,
he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he
love God Whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from Him: that he who loveth God love his brother also.
1 Whosoever believeth that Yahshua
is the Christ is born of God; and every one that loveth Him That
begat loveth him also that is begotten of Him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep
His commandments,
3 For this is the love of God: that we keep His commandments, and His
commandments are not grievous.
4 For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world,
and this is the victory that overcometh the world: our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that
believeth that Yahshua is the Son of God?
6 This is He That came by water and blood: Yahshua the Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the
Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is
truth.
7 For there are three that testify:
8 The Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the testimony of mankind, the testimony of God is greater, for this
is the testimony of God which He hath testified of His Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the testimony in himself; he that
believeth not God hath made Him a liar, because he believeth not the testimony
that God gave of His Son.
11 And this is the testimony that God hath given to us:
Eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son of God hath
not life.
13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal
life and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in Him: that if we ask any thing
according to His will, He heareth us;
15 And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we desired of Him.
16 If any one see his brother sin a sin [which is] not
unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto
death. There is sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and
there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; yea, he that
is begotten of God guards himself, and that wicked
one toucheth him not.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth
in wickedness,
20 And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding
that we may know Him That is true; and we are in Him
That is true, [even] in His Son Yahshua the Christ. This is the true God and
eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
