1 John 5 Cross References - WPNT

¹ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten by God; also, whoever loves the Begetter should love the one begotten by Him as well. ² In this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; His commandments are not burdensome, ⁴ in that whatever has been begotten by God overcomes the world; this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. ⁵ Who is he who overcomes the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶ This is He who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth; ⁷ actually there are three who bear witness ⁸ —the Spirit, the water and the blood—and the three are to one effect. ⁹ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which He has testified concerning His Son. ¹⁰ He who believes into the Son of God has the witness within himself; he who doesn’t believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. ¹³ I have written these things to you who believe into the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life, really believing into the name of God’s Son. ¹⁴ Now this is the confidence that we have toward Him: if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him. ¹⁶ If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, let him ask, and He will give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is sin leading to death; I am not saying that he should make request about that. ¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death. ¹⁸ We know that whoever has been begotten by God does not sin; rather the one who was begotten by God preserves himself, and the evil one does not touch him. ¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. ²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the genuine God, and the Life eternal. ²¹ Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.

³¹ Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven people. ³² And whoever speaks a word against the Son of the Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in the present age nor in the next.

³² And John testified saying, “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested upon Him. ³³ Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

²⁶ Because just as the Father has life in Himself just so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

³¹ “If I testify about myself my testimony is not valid. ³² There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that He gives about me is true. ³³ You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. ³⁴ Yet I do not accept the testimony from a man; but I say these things so that you may be saved. ³⁵ That man was a burning, shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to be glad in his light. ³⁶ But I have a greater testimony than John’s, because the works that the Father gave me to complete—the very works that I am doing—they testify about me that the Father has sent me. ³⁷ “Further, the Father who sent me has Himself testified about me. You have neither heard His voice nor seen His form at any time. ³⁸ Nor do you have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe on the very one whom He sent. ³⁹ You examine the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life, yet they are the very ones that testify about me.

¹³ So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.” ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

¹⁷ It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid: ¹⁸ I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”

¹⁸ I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.” ¹⁹ Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know my Father.”

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁷ —the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you do know Him, because He is staying with you and will be in you.

²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ The one who has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. Now the one who loves me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and reveal myself to him. ²² Judas (not the Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, just how is it that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. ²⁴ The one who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words; further, the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

³⁰ “I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing in me.

⁴ Abide in me and I in you. Just as a branch is incapable of producing fruit by itself, except it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me.

⁷ If you abide in me and my sayings abide in you, you will ask whatever you desire and it will happen for you.

⁹ “Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

¹⁴ You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁷ These things I command you so that you love one another. ¹⁸ “When the world hates you, you can be sure that it has hated me first. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would be fond of its own. So because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, that’s why the world hates you.

²³ The one who hates me hates my Father too.

²⁶ “Now when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of the Truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning me.

¹¹ then about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹³ However, when He, the Spirit of the Truth, has come, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also communicate to you the things that are coming.

²⁴ Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

³³ I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but take heart, I have conquered the world!”

² just as You gave Him authority over all humanity, so that He will give eternal life to all those whom You have given Him. ³ Now eternal life is this: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One whom You sent—Jesus Christ.

³ Now eternal life is this: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One whom You sent—Jesus Christ.

⁹ I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given me, because they are yours.

¹⁴ “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

²⁰ “I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe into me through their word; ²¹ that they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in me and I in You; that in Us they also may be one, so that the world may believe that You sent me. ²² In fact, the glory that You gave to me I have given to them, so that they may be one just as We are one: ²³ I in them and You in me, so that they may be perfected into one; also so that the world may know that You sent me and have loved them just as You have loved me.

²⁵ Righteous Father! Indeed the world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent me.

³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. ³⁵ And the one who saw has testified, and his testimony is true (yes, he knows he is telling the truth), so that you may believe.

³⁵ And the one who saw has testified, and his testimony is true (yes, he knows he is telling the truth), so that you may believe.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

³¹ but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through His Name.

²⁴ This is the disciple who is testifying to these things, and who wrote them; and we know that his testimony is true.

² And suddenly a roar came out of the sky, like the rushing of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ Fiery tongues appeared and were distributed to them, and it [a tongue] landed on each one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages, as the Spirit was granting to them to speak out.

³³ Therefore, having been exalted to God’s right hand, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this that you now see and hear.

¹⁶ Well His name, based on faith in His name, made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that is through Him has given him this wholeness in the presence of you all.

¹² Also, the salvation does not exist in anyone else, because there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.”

³² And we are witnesses to these statements about Him, as also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those obeying Him.”

³⁶ Now as they were going down the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch said: “Look, water! What is keeping me from being baptized?”

²³ Upon arriving and seeing the grace of God, he was glad, and he kept encouraging them all to remain true to the Lord with purpose of heart

¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

³¹ because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

²⁸ So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.

²⁸ So precisely because they determined not to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a debased mind, to do wrong things: ²⁹ having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, depravity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, braggarts, contrivers of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ senseless, faithless, hardhearted, intransigent, unmerciful; ³² who, knowing full well God’s just sentence, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do them but also approve of other practitioners.

⁹ What then? Are we any better? Not at all! For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. ¹⁰ Just as it is written: “No one is righteous, not even one; ¹¹ there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. ¹² All have turned aside, together they have been made useless; there is no one who shows kindness, no, not so much as one.” ¹³ “Their throat is an opened grave; they habitually deceive with their tongues.” “Viper’s venom is under their lips”; ¹⁴ “whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” ¹⁵ “Their feet are swift to shed blood; ¹⁶ ruin and wretchedness are in their paths, ¹⁷ and the way of peace they have not known.” ¹⁸ “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

²⁵ whom God has openly made available as a propitiation through the faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness because of the passing over, in God’s forbearance, of the previously committed sins;

²⁰ However, law came on the scene so that the offense might abound; but where the sin abounded, the grace superabounded, ²¹ so that just as sin reigned in the death, so also the grace might reign through righteousness into eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ so that just as sin reigned in the death, so also the grace might reign through righteousness into eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²³ Because the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² So then, the law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

²² I joyfully agree with God’s law according to the inner man,

¹⁵ —you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fear all over again, but you did receive the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children

¹⁶ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children ¹⁷ —if children, also heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him).

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Will it be affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? ³⁶ (As it is written: “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.”) ³⁷ No, in all these things we prevail completely through Him who loved us.

⁵ The patriarchs are theirs, and from them came the Christ (the physical part), who is over all, God forever blessed. Amen.

⁹ That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ Because with the heart one believes into righteousness, and with the mouth one promises into salvation.

³⁰ It is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God—also righteousness and sanctification and redemption —

⁷ And do not become idolaters, just like some of them; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to amuse themselves.”

¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry!

⁴ Now there are allotments of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are allotments of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are allotments of activities, but the same God is He who works them all, in all.

⁵⁷ Now thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

¹² Now this is our boast: the testimony of our conscience that we have conducted ourselves in the world with openness and godly sincerity, not by fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.

²² who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

⁴ among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

⁶ because the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness is He who shined in our hearts to give the light that comes from the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹ Now then, we know that though our earthly, tent-like ‘house’ may be destroyed, we have a building from God (not a handmade house), eternal in the heavens.

¹⁷ so then, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old things have passed on; look, all has become new!

¹⁶ Further, what agreement can a temple of God have with idols? Because you are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them; I will be their God and they will by my people.” ¹⁷ Therefore, “Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord, “Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”

¹⁴ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

⁴ who gave Himself for our sins, so that He might deliver us out of this present malignant age, according to the will of our God and Father,

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; what I now live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself in my place.

⁶ And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, calling, “Abba, Father”.

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through His\up6 [S]\up0 blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His\up6 [F]\up0 grace,

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the real knowledge of Himself, ¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know \up6 1)\up0 what is the hope of His\up6 [F]\up0 calling, and \up6 2)\up0 what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and \up6 3)\up0 what the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing, according to the demonstration of the extent of His might

² in which you once walked, according to the Aeon of this world, the ruler of the domain of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of the disobedience;

¹² in whom we have the boldness and the access with confidence through faith in Him.

¹⁸ so that you may be fully able to grasp (with all saints) what is the breadth and length and depth and height;

²⁵ Husbands, love your own wives just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up on her behalf, ²⁶ in order that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of the water: in a word, ²⁷ that He might present her—the splendid Church—to Himself, not having a blemish or a wrinkle or any such thing, but that she be holy and blameless.

⁹ and be found in Him, not having as my righteousness that of the Law but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness of God based on faith;

⁴ (having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love toward all the saints),

² that their hearts may be encouraged, being united in love and into a great wealth of confident understanding, into a real knowledge of the mystery of the God and Father and of the Christ, ³ in whom all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge are hidden.

³ because you died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.

³ because you died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ Whenever Christ, our life, is revealed then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

⁹ They themselves report about you what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to be slaves to the living and true God,

¹⁵ Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief; ¹⁶ precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life.

¹⁶ precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life.

¹⁶ Yes, the mystery of our religion is confessedly great: God was manifested in flesh, was vindicated in spirit, was revealed to angels, was proclaimed among nations, was believed in the world, was received up in glory!

¹² That is why I am suffering these things, yet I am not ashamed because I know in whom I have believed and am certain that He is able to guard my deposit until that Day.

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith did me a lot of harm; may the Lord repay him according to his deeds.

² in hope of eternal life —which life God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time

¹³ looking for the blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

³ Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another.

⁵ He saved us—not because of righteous deeds that we ourselves had done but according to His mercy, by means of the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

⁸ while to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; ‘Scepter of Uprightness’ is the scepter of Your kingdom.

³ how shall we escape if we are careless about that tremendous salvation?—it received its beginning through the Lord’s declaration and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him\up6 [S]\up0, ⁴ God adding His\up6 [F]\up0 attestation by signs, wonders, various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

⁶ but Christ is faithful as a Son over His house, whose house are we, if, that is, we hold fast the confidence, even the boast, of the Hope firm to the end.

¹² take care, brothers, that there not be a malignant heart of unbelief in any of you, so as to go away from the living God;

¹⁴ For we have become associates of the Christ, if, that is, we hold fast the beginning of the Endeavor firm to the end,

¹² Because the Word of God is living and efficient, and sharper than any two-edged sword, actually penetrating to the point of separating soul and spirit, joints and marrow; in fact, it is able to evaluate a heart’s reflections and intentions. ¹³ Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight; rather all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

⁴ Because, it is impossible to bring back into repentance those who were once for all enlightened, who have partaken of the heavenly gift and were made sharers in the Holy Spirit,

⁴ Because, it is impossible to bring back into repentance those who were once for all enlightened, who have partaken of the heavenly gift and were made sharers in the Holy Spirit, ⁵ who have experienced God’s good event and capabilities of the coming age, ⁶ and yet have fallen away—they would be crucifying the Son of God all over again, just for themselves, holding Him up to contempt.

¹⁸ so that by two unalterable things in which it is impossible for God to lie we should have a strong encouragement, we who have taken refuge by grasping the hope set before us;

¹⁰ “Now this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD, “I will put my laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they will be my people.

⁷ but into the second one only the high priest could go, once a year and only with blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins of ignorance;

¹⁴ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Holy Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

²⁶ Because, if we deliberately keep on sinning after having received the real knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ just a certain fearful anticipation of judgment and fierce fire that is ready to consume the hostiles. ²⁸ Anyone who rejected Moses’ law died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be deemed worthy who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be deemed worthy who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him who said, “‘Vengeance is up to me’, says the Lord, ‘I will repay’.” And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” ³¹ It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!

³⁵ So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great recompense.

²⁴ to Jesus, Mediator of a new covenant, and to a blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

¹² therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the city gate.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace—who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep—

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from the giving God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him. ⁶ However, let him ask in faith, with no doubting, because he who doubts is like a sea wave driven and tossed by the wind—

¹⁵ Then the craving, upon conceiving, gives birth to sin, and the sin, upon completion, delivers death.

¹⁸ Having willed it, He brought us forth by a word of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of His products.

²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion before God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their adversity; to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

³ You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so that you may lavish it on your pleasures. ⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? So whoever may want to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

⁷ Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Sinners, cleanse your hands! Double-minded, purify your hearts! ⁹ Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into dejection. ¹⁰ Humble yourself before the Lord and He will exalt you.

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will deliver the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sin, it will be forgiven him. ¹⁶ Confess your transgressions to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous one, being operative, is very powerful.

² elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the setting apart of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has given us another birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,

²² Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart, ²³ having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever.

²³ having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever.

²¹ This is an antitype of baptism, that now saves us also (not the removal of physical filth, but the appeal into God from a good conscience) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

¹² I have written to you briefly by our faithful brother Silvanus, as I consider him, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, you should be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble. ¹¹ Because in this way you will be granted the abundant entrance into the unending kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ And so we have the most reliable prophetic Word, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the real knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter circumstances have become worse for them than the first ones. ²¹ For it would have been better for them not to have really known the way of the righteousness, than having really known it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: a dog returns to its own vomit and a bathed sow to wallowing in mud.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have witnessed with our eyes, that which we contemplated and our hands handled with reference to the word of the Life

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have witnessed with our eyes, that which we contemplated and our hands handled with reference to the word of the Life

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have witnessed with our eyes, that which we contemplated and our hands handled with reference to the word of the Life ² —oh yes, the Life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and declare to you that eternal Life who was in the presence of the Father and was manifested to us—

² —oh yes, the Life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and declare to you that eternal Life who was in the presence of the Father and was manifested to us— ³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us; indeed, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. ⁴ Yes, we write these things to you so that our joy may be fulfilled.

⁷ But if we walk in the light just as He is in the light we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

¹⁰ If we claim that we have not sinned, we call Him a liar and His Word is not in us.

¹ My dear children, I am writing these things to you so that you not sin; if someone does sin, we have an Advocate in the Father’s presence, righteous Jesus Christ—

³ Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

⁵ But whoever keeps His Word, God’s love has truly been perfected in him: by this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who claims to be abiding in Him really needs to act just like He acted.

¹⁰ He who keeps loving his brother is staying in the Light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

¹³ —fathers, I am writing to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I am writing to you because you have overcome the evil one; children, I am writing to you because you have come to know the Father—

¹³ —fathers, I am writing to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I am writing to you because you have overcome the evil one; children, I am writing to you because you have come to know the Father— ¹⁴ fathers, I have written to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I have written to you because you are strong, and the Word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

¹⁴ fathers, I have written to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I have written to you because you are strong, and the Word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one. ¹⁵ Do not love the world, neither the things in the world; if anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. ¹⁶ Because everything in the world—the craving of the flesh and the craving of the eyes and the pretension of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. ¹⁷ The world, with its craving, is passing away, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

²¹ I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the Truth. ²² Who is the liar but the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. ²³ Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father either.

²³ Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father either. ²⁴ So you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you; if what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Father and in the Son.

²⁴ So you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you; if what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Father and in the Son. ²⁵ This is the promise that He Himself promised us—the eternal life. ²⁶ I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you;

²⁸ And now, dear children, do abide in Him, so that whenever He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. ²⁹ If you have understood that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been begotten by Him.

³ —everyone who has this hope upon him purifies himself, even as He is pure. ⁴ Everyone who commits sin commits lawlessness as well; yes, sin is lawlessness.

⁹ Whoever has been begotten by God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him; actually, he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten by God.

¹² —not like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own works were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.

¹⁴ We know that we have transferred out of the death into the life because we love our brothers; he who doesn’t love his brother remains in the death.

¹⁷ Now whoever has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart toward him—how does the love of God abide in him?

²¹ Dear ones, if our heart doesn’t condemn us, we have confidence toward God, ²² and whatever we may ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

²² and whatever we may ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. ²³ Now this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded.

²³ Now this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded. ²⁴ He who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. This is how we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit whom He gave us.

²⁴ He who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. This is how we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit whom He gave us.

² By this the Spirit of God is known: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ as having come in flesh is of God,

⁴ Dear children, you are of God and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than the one in the world.

⁴ Dear children, you are of God and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than the one in the world. ⁵ They are of the world; that’s why they speak of the world, and the world listens to them. ⁶ We are of God: he who knows God listens to us; he who is not of God doesn’t listen to us—by this we know the Spirit of the Truth and the spirit of the deception.

⁶ We are of God: he who knows God listens to us; he who is not of God doesn’t listen to us—by this we know the Spirit of the Truth and the spirit of the deception. ⁷ Dear ones, we must love one another, because the love is of God and everyone who loves has been begotten by God and knows God.

⁹ God’s love was made real within us by this: God sent His only begotten Son into the world in order that we might live through Him. ¹⁰ In this is the love, not that we loved God but that He loved us—He even sent His Son as the propitiation for our sins.

¹⁴ Yes, we have observed and do testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

¹⁴ Yes, we have observed and do testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. ¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God. ¹⁶ Yes, we have come to know and believe the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in the love abides in God, and God in him.

²⁰ If anyone says, “I love God”, while hating his brother, he is a liar. Well, how can he love God whom he hasn’t seen, while not loving his brother whom he has seen? ²¹ Indeed, this commandment we have from Him: he who loves God must love his brother also.

¹ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten by God; also, whoever loves the Begetter should love the one begotten by Him as well.

⁴ in that whatever has been begotten by God overcomes the world; this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. ⁵ Who is he who overcomes the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶ This is He who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth;

⁶ This is He who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth; ⁷ actually there are three who bear witness

⁷ actually there are three who bear witness

⁷ actually there are three who bear witness ⁸ —the Spirit, the water and the blood—and the three are to one effect.

¹⁰ He who believes into the Son of God has the witness within himself; he who doesn’t believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son.

¹⁰ He who believes into the Son of God has the witness within himself; he who doesn’t believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. ¹³ I have written these things to you who believe into the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life, really believing into the name of God’s Son.

¹³ I have written these things to you who believe into the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life, really believing into the name of God’s Son.

¹⁶ If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, let him ask, and He will give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is sin leading to death; I am not saying that he should make request about that.

¹⁸ We know that whoever has been begotten by God does not sin; rather the one who was begotten by God preserves himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

¹⁸ We know that whoever has been begotten by God does not sin; rather the one who was begotten by God preserves himself, and the evil one does not touch him. ¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. ²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the genuine God, and the Life eternal.

²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the genuine God, and the Life eternal. ²¹ Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.

⁶ And this is the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it.

⁹ Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ’s teaching does have both the Father and the Son.

¹² Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—even by the truth itself. Yes, we also speak well of him, and we know that our testimony is true.

²¹ keep yourselves in God’s love, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ into eternal life.

²⁴ Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling and to present them before His glorious presence without fault and with exultation—

² who gave witness to the word of God, even the testimony of Jesus Christ—to all that He saw, both the things that are and those that must happen after these.

⁴ John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven-fold Spirit who is before His throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood

⁵ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood

⁷ ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of my God.’

¹¹ ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The one who overcomes will absolutely not be harmed by the second death.’

¹³ ‘I know your works, and where you live, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold my name fast and did not deny my faith during the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.

¹⁷ ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give him a white pebble, and on the pebble a new name written, which no one knows except the receiver.’

²⁶ And as for the one who overcomes and keeps my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations;

²⁸ —just as I have received from my Father. And I will give him the morning star.

⁵ The one who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before His angels.

⁷ “And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy, the True, He who has the key of David, who opens and no one can shut it, except He who opens, and no one can open: ⁸ ‘I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, that no one is able to shut; because you have a little strength and have kept my Word and have not denied my name. ⁹ See, I am determining that some of the synagogue of Satan, those who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying—yes, I will cause them to come and do obeisance at your feet, and they will know that I have loved you. ¹⁰ Because you have kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing that is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to test those who dwell on the earth.

¹² The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never again go out. And I will write on him the name of my God, the name of my God’s city—the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God—and my new name.

¹⁴ “And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the Originator of God’s creation:

²¹ To the one who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.

⁹ And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation;

¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice saying, “How long, O Sovereign, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

¹⁴ So I said to him, “My lord, you know.” So he said to me: “These are those who come out of the Great Tribulation—they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

²⁰ Yet the rest of the people, those who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as to stop worshipping the demons, even the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;

⁹ So the great dragon was expelled, that ancient serpent, who is called Slanderer and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited world; he was thrown into the earth, and his angels were expelled with him.

¹¹ And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not cherish their lives, even up to death.

¹⁷ So the dragon was furious about the woman and off he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony of Jesus.

⁷ And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and language and ethnic nation. ⁸ All who dwell on the earth will do obeisance to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slaughtered from the foundation of the world.

¹⁴ And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived. ¹⁵ And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast should actually speak, and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed.

¹¹ So the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the Beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who prevailed over the Beast and over his image and over the number of his name, standing on the glassy sea, having harps of God. ³ They sing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and wow, a white horse! And the One who sits on it, called Faithful and True, both judges and makes war with righteousness.

¹³ and He was clothed with a robe that had been dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

³ he threw him into the Abyss and locked and sealed it over him so that he should not deceive the nations any more until the thousand years were finished. And after these years he must be loosed for a short time.

⁷ Now when the thousand years are finished Satan will be released from his prison, ⁸ and he will go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is like the sand of the sea.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
