1My 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:[ † ]Romans 8:341 Timothy 2:5Hebrews 7:25Hebrews 9:24 2and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.[ † ]Romans 3:25Hebrews 2:171 John 4:10John 1:29 3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.[ † ]Romans 3:4 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.[ † ]John 14:21-231 John 4:12 6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.[ † ]John 15:4Matthew 11:29John 13:15John 15:101 Peter 2:21
7Brethren, 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.[ † ]John 13:341 John 3:11-231 John 4:212 John 5 8Again, 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.[ † ]John 13:34John 15:12Romans 13:12Ephesians 5:81 Thessalonians 5:4John 1:9John 8:12John 12:35
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.[ † ]1 Corinthians 13:21 John 3:14 10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.[ † ]1 John 3:142 Peter 1:10 11But 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.[ † ]1 John 2:91 John 3:151 John 4:20John 12:351 John 1:6
12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.[ † ]1 Corinthians 6:11 13I 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.[ † ]John 1:1Revelation 22:13Romans 8:15-17Galatians 4:6 14I 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.[ † ]Ephesians 6:10 15Love 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.[ † ]Romans 12:2Galatians 1:4James 1:27Matthew 6:24James 4:4 16For 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.[ † ]Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.[ † ]1 Corinthians 7:311 Peter 1:24
18Little 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.[ † ]John 21:5Romans 13:111 Timothy 4:1Hebrews 1:21 Peter 4:72 Thessalonians 2:3Matthew 24:5-241 John 2:221 John 4:32 John 7 19They 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.[ † ]Deuteronomy 13:13Matthew 24:241 Corinthians 11:19 20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.[ † ]2 Corinthians 1:21Hebrews 1:91 John 2:27Acts 3:14Proverbs 28:5John 16:131 Corinthians 2:15-16 21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.[ † ]2 John 71 John 4:3 23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also .[ † ]John 15:23John 5:231 John 4:151 John 5:12 John 9 24Let 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.[ † ]2 John 5, 6John 14:231 John 1:32 John 9 25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.[ † ]John 3:14-16John 6:40John 17:2-31 John 1:2
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27But 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.[ † ]John 14:16John 16:131 John 2:20Jeremiah 31:331 Corinthians 2:121 Thessalonians 4:9 28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.[ † ]Ephesians 3:121 John 3:211 John 4:171 John 5:14 29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.[ † ]Acts 22:14John 7:181 John 3:7-10
