⁹ God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

³⁰ But because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption:

² And those who have believing masters must not despise them because they are brethren; but rather service them all the more, because those who partake of their services are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

⁵ And wrangling among men of corrupt minds, who are destitute of the truth, and suppose that godliness is a means to gain.

¹⁶ Who alone has immortality, dwelling in light which no man can approach; whom no man has seen, nor can see. To him be honour and power and dominion forever. Amen.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

²⁶ If any man among you thinks he is religious, but does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his own heart and his religion is in vain.

² For we all stumble in many ways. If any man does not stumble in his words, he is a perfect man, and able also to bridle his whole body.

¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

¹ I exhort the elders who are among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ and as a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

¹³ And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, revelling in their own deceptions while they feast with you;

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, concerning the Word of life; ² (For the life was revealed, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us;) ³ That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

³ That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁵ This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, yet walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practice the truth: ⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. ¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

²³ Whoever denies the Son, does not have the Father: he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. ²⁴ As for you, let that abide in you which you have heard from the beginning.

⁵ And you know that he was revealed to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

⁵ And you know that he was revealed to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. ⁶ Whoever abides in him does not sin: no one who sins has either seen him or known him.

⁸ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

¹¹ For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

⁴ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he who is in you, than he who is in the world.

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

²⁰ If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. ⁷ And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. ⁸ For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree.

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he does not believe the testimony that God has given regarding his Son.

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he does not believe the testimony that God has given regarding his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

² For the sake of the truth, which dwells in us, and shall be with us forever:

⁴ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

¹² Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when some brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, how you walk in the truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. ⁵ And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, and the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and freed us from our sins by his own blood,

⁸ I am Alpha and Omega, says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

¹¹ Saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as if dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Do not fear; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ The one who lives; I was dead, and, behold, I am alive forevermore, and possess the keys of death and of Hades.

⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These are the words of him who is the first and the last, who was dead, and came to life;

¹⁷ For you say, I am rich, and have grown wealthy, and have need of nothing; but you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white clothing, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives to death.

³ And they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, O King of the ages.

¹³ And he was clothed with a robe dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

²³ And the city had no need of the sun, or the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God is its light, and the Lamb its lamp.

⁵ And there shall be no night there; and they shall need no lamp, nor light from the sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
