²¹ I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.

²² Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son. ²³ Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son hath the Father also. ²⁴ As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

²⁴ As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

¹¹ For this is the declaration which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. ¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer.

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

²³ And this is his commandment: That we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.

¹ Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ² By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: ³ And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God. And this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh: and he is now already in the world.

⁷ Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for charity 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 charity. ⁹ By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him. ¹⁰ In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ My dearest, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us: and his charity is perfected in us.

²⁰ If any man say: I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not?

³ For this is the charity of God: That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.

¹⁵ And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.

¹ The Ancient to the lady Elect and her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth,

¹ The Ancient to the lady Elect and her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth, ² For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us and shall be with us for ever.

² For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us and shall be with us for ever. ³ Grace be with you, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus the Son of the Father: in truth and charity.

³ Grace be with you, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus the Son of the Father: in truth and charity. ⁴ I was exceeding glad that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is charity: That we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same: ⁷ For many seducers are gone out into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a seducer and an antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward. ⁹ Whosoever revolteth and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him: God speed you. ¹¹ For he that saith unto him: God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.

¹¹ For he that saith unto him: God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works. ¹² Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you and speak face to face, that your joy may be full. ¹³ The children of thy sister Elect salute thee.

¹³ The children of thy sister Elect salute thee.

¹⁴ But I hope speedily to see thee: and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

¹¹ Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

⁹ And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth: and his angels were thrown down with him.

¹⁴ And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived.

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues.
