If you want to accept God's
offer in his Son, say a prayer like this:
Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and Savior of the
world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins
and come into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life, but to guide me
to live according to the words I read in the Bible. Thank you for your mercy and
forgiveness. I am now committed to be your follower.
Amen.

Chapter 1
001:001 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;
001:002 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen
it, and bear
witness, and shew
unto you that eternal life, which was
with
the Father, and was
manifested unto us;)
001:003 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 Jesus Christ.
001:004 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
001:005 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.
001:006 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and
walk in
darkness, we lie, and do
not the truth:
001:007 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have
fellowship one with
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
his
Son cleanseth us from all
sin.
001:008 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the
truth is not in
us.
001:009 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us
our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
001:010 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a
liar, and his
word is not in
us.
002:001 My little children, these things write I unto
you, that ye sin
not. And if any
man sin, we have an advocate with the
Father,
Jesus Christ the
righteous:
002:002 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not
for our's
only, but also for the
sins of the whole world.
002:003 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we
keep his
commandments.
002:004 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his
commandments,
is a liar, and the
truth is not in him.
002:005 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the
love of God
perfected: hereby know
we that we are in him.
002:006 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself
also so to walk,
even as he
walked.
002:007 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 have heard from
the
beginning.
002:008 Again, 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.
002:009 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his
brother, is
in darkness even until
now.
002:010 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light,
and there is
none occasion of
stumbling in him.
002:011 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness,
and walketh in
darkness, and
knoweth not whither he goeth, because
that
darkness hath blinded his
eyes.
002:012 I write unto you, little children, because your
sins are
forgiven you for his
name's sake.
002:013 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.
002:014 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.
002:015 Love not the world, neither the things that are
in the world.
If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is not
in
him.
002:016 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.
002:017 And the world passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that
doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.
002:018 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye
have heard
that antichrist shall
come, even now are there many
antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
002:019 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.
002:020 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye
know all
things.
002:021 I have not written unto you because ye know not
the truth, but
because ye know it,
and that no lie is of the truth.
002:022 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is
the Christ? He
is antichrist, that
denieth the Father and the Son.
002:023 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the
Father: he
that acknowledgeth the
Son hath the Father also.
002:024 Let that therefore abide in you, 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.
002:025 And this is the promise that he hath promised
us, even eternal
life.
002:026 These things have I written unto you concerning
them that
seduce you.
002:027 But the anointing which ye have received of him
abideth in
you, and ye need not
that any man teach you: but as the
same
anointing teacheth you of all
things, and is truth, and is no
lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
002:028 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.
002:029 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that
every one that
doeth righteousness
is born of him.
003:001 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed upon us,
that we should
be called the sons of God: therefore the
world
knoweth us not, because it
knew him not.
003:002 Beloved, now are we the sons 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.
003:003 And every man that hath this hope in him
purifieth himself,
even as he is
pure.
003:004 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the
law: for sin
is the transgression
of the law.
003:005 And ye know that he was manifested to take away
our sins; and
in him is no
sin.
003:006 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever
sinneth hath
not seen him, neither
known him.
003:007 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that
doeth
righteousness is righteous,
even as he is righteous.
003:008 He that committeth 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.
003:009 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
for his seed
remaineth in him: and
he cannot sin, because he is born
of
God.
003:010 In this the children of God are manifest, and
the children of
the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of
God,
neither he that loveth not
his brother.
003:011 For this is the message that ye heard from the
beginning, that
we should love one
another.
003:012 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and
slew his brother.
And wherefore
slew he him? Because his own works were
evil,
and his brother's
righteous.
003:013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
003:014 We know that we have passed from death unto
life, because we
love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth
in
death.
003:015 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and
ye know that
no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him.
003:016 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he
laid down his
life for us: and we
ought to lay down our lives for
the
brethren.
003:017 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?
003:018 My little children, let us not love in word,
neither in
tongue; but in deed and
in truth.
003:019 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and
shall assure
our hearts before
him.
003:020 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than
our heart,
and knoweth all
things.
003:021 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have
we confidence
toward God.
003:022 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him,
because we keep his
commandments,
and do those things that are pleasing in
his
sight.
003:023 And this is his commandment, That we should
believe on the
name of his Son
Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he
gave
us commandment.
003:024 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in
him, and he
in him. And hereby we
know that he abideth in us, by the
Spirit which he hath given us.
004:001 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether
they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out
into
the world.
004:002 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit
that confesseth
that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God:
004:003 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come
in the flesh is not
of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and
even now already is it in the
world.
004:004 Ye are of God, little children, and have
overcome them:
because greater is
he that is in you, than he that is in
the
world.
004:005 They are of the world: therefore speak they of
the world, and
the world heareth
them.
004:006 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not
of God heareth not
us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and
the spirit of error.
004:007 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of
God; and
every one that loveth is
born of God, and knoweth God.
004:008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
004:009 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.
004:010 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that
he loved us,
and sent his Son to
be the propitiation for our sins.
004:011 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to
love one
another.
004:012 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God
dwelleth in us, and
his love is perfected in us.
004:013 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in
us, because he
hath given us of
his Spirit.
004:014 And we have seen and do testify that the Father
sent the Son
to be the Saviour of
the world.
004:015 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of
God, God
dwelleth in him, and he
in God.
004:016 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.
004:017 Herein 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.
004:018 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.
004:019 We love him, because he first loved us.
004:020 If a man 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?
004:021 And this commandment have we from him, That he
who loveth God
love his brother
also.
005:001 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is
born of God:
and every one that
loveth him that begat loveth him also
that
is begotten of him.
005:002 By this we know that we love the children of
God, when we love
God, and keep
his commandments.
005:003 For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments:
and his commandments
are not grievous.
005:004 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this
is the victory
that overcometh the world, even our faith.
005:005 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that
believeth
that Jesus is the Son of
God?
005:006 This is he that came by water and blood, even
Jesus Christ;
not by water only,
but by water and blood. And it is
the
Spirit that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is truth.
005:007 For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father,
the Word, and the Holy
Ghost: and these three are one.
005:008 And there are three that bear witness in earth,
the Spirit,
and the water, and the
blood: and these three agree in one.
005:009 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of
God is
greater: for this is the
witness of God which he hath
testified of his Son.
005:010 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the
witness in
himself: he that
believeth not God hath made him a
liar;
because he believeth not the
record that God gave of his Son.
005:011 And this is the record, that God hath given to
us eternal
life, and this life is
in his Son.
005:012 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath
not the Son
of God hath not
life.
005:013 These things have I written unto you that
believe on the name
of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal
life,
and that ye may believe on
the name of the Son of God.
005:014 And this is the confidence that we have in him,
that, if we
ask any thing
according to his will, he heareth us:
005:015 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we
ask, we know
that we have the
petitions that we desired of him.
005:016 If any man 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 a sin
unto death: I do not say that he
shall pray for it.
005:017 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
005:018 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth
not; but he that
is begotten of
God keepeth himself, and that wicked
one
toucheth him not.
005:019 And we know that we are of God, and the whole
world lieth in
wickedness.
005:020 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 Jesus Christ. This is the
true God, and eternal life.
005:021 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
