1 John 3:21
Most beloved, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God;
1 John 3:22
and whatever we shall request of him, we shall receive from him. For we keep his commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 3:23
And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
1 John 3:24
And those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And we know that he abides in us by this: by the Spirit, whom he has given to us.
1 John 4:1
Most beloved, do not be willing to believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:2
The Spirit of God may be known in this way. Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh is of God;
1 John 4:3
and every spirit who contradicts Jesus is not of God. And this one is the Antichrist, the one that you have heard is coming, and even now he is in the world.
1 John 4:4
Little sons, you are of God, and so you have overcome him. For he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
1 John 4:5
They are of the world. Therefore, they speak about the world, and the world listens to them.
1 John 4:6
We are of God. Whoever knows God, listens to us. Whoever is not of God, does not listen to us. In this way, we know the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.
1 John 4:7
Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.
1 John 4:9
The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
1 John 4:10
In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:11
Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:12
No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:13
In this way, we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he has given to us from his Spirit.
1 John 4:14
And we have seen, and we testify, that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:15
Whoever has confessed that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. And he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:17
In this way, the love of God is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment. For as he is, so also are we, in this world.
1 John 4:18
Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.
1 John 4:19
Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us.
1 John 4:20
If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?
1 John 4:21
And this is the commandment that we have from God, that he who loves God must also love his brother.
1 John 5:1
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God.
1 John 5:2
In this way, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments.
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.
1 John 5:4
For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.
1 John 5:5
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God!
1 John 5:6
This is the One who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies that the Christ is the Truth.
1 John 5:7
For there are Three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One.
1 John 5:8
And there are three who give testimony on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three are one.
1 John 5:9
If we accept the testimony of men, then the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater: that he has testified about his Son.
1 John 5:10
Whoever believes in the Son of God, holds the testimony of God within himself. Whoever does not believe in the Son, makes him a liar, because he does not believe in the testimony which God has testified about his Son.
1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony which God has given to us: Eternal Life. And this Life is in his Son.
1 John 5:12
Whoever has the Son, has Life. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life.
1 John 5:13
I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
1 John 5:14
And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:15
And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.
1 John 5:16
Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin.
1 John 5:17
All that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto death.
1 John 5:18
We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin. Instead, rebirth in God preserves him, and the evil one cannot touch him.
1 John 5:19
We know that we are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness.
1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has arrived, and that he has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God, and so that we may remain in his true Son. This is the true God, and this is Eternal Life.
1 John 5:21
Little sons, keep yourselves from false worship. Amen.
2 John 1:1
The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,
2 John 1:2
because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity.
2 John 1:3
May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
2 John 1:4
I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.
2 John 1:5
And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
2 John 1:6
And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2 John 1:8
Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.
2 John 1:9
Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:10
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.
2 John 1:11
For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
2 John 1:12
I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.
2 John 1:13
The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
3 John 1:1
The Elder, to Gaius, most beloved, whom I love in the truth.
3 John 1:2
Most beloved, concerning everything, I make it my prayer that you may benefit by advancing and succeeding in whatever may be to the benefit of your soul.
3 John 1:3
I was very glad when the brothers arrived, and when they offered testimony to the truth in you, that you are walking in the truth.
3 John 1:4
I have no greater grace than this, when I hear that my sons are walking in the truth.
3 John 1:5
Most beloved, you should act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, and those who are sojourners;
3 John 1:6
they have given testimony to your charity in the sight of the Church. You would to well to lead these ones worthily to God.
3 John 1:7
For they set out, on behalf of his name, accepting nothing from the unbelievers.
3 John 1:8
Therefore, we must accept such as these, in order that we may cooperate with the truth.
3 John 1:9
As it happens, I had written to the church. But Diotrephes, who loves to bear the highest rank among them, would not accept us.
3 John 1:10
Because of this, when I come, I will admonish his works which he does, babbling against us with malicious words. And as if this were not sufficient for him, he himself does not receive the brothers. And those who do receive them, he hinders, and he ejects them from the church.
3 John 1:11
Most beloved, do not be willing to imitate what is evil; instead imitate what is good. Whoever does good is of God. Whoever does evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:12
Testimony is being given for Demetrius by everyone, and by the truth itself. And we also offer testimony. And you know that our testimony is true.
3 John 1:13
I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing, through ink and pen, to write to you.
3 John 1:14
Yet I hope to see you soon, and then we will speak face to face. Peace to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Jude 1:1
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are beloved in God the Father, and who are guarded and called in Jesus Christ:
Jude 1:2
May mercy, and peace, and love be fulfilled in you.
Jude 1:3
Most beloved, taking all care to write to you about your common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you in order to beg you to contend earnestly for the faith that was handed down once to the saints.
Jude 1:4
For certain men entered unnoticed, who were written of beforehand unto this judgment: impious persons who are transforming the grace of our God into self-indulgence, and who are denying both the sole Ruler and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:5
So I want to caution you. Those who once knew everything that Jesus did, in saving the people from the land of Egypt, afterwards perished because they did not believe.
Jude 1:6
And truly, the Angels, who did not keep to their first place, but instead abandoned their own domiciles, he has reserved with perpetual chains under darkness, unto the great day of judgment.
Jude 1:7
And also Sodom and Gomorrah, and the adjoining cities, in similar ways, having given themselves over to fornication and to the pursuing of other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
Jude 1:8
Similarly also, these ones certainly defile the flesh, and they despise proper authority, and they blaspheme against majesty.
Jude 1:9
When Michael the Archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring against him a judgment of blasphemy, so instead he said: "The Lord commands you."
Jude 1:10
But these men certainly blaspheme against whatever they do not understand. And yet, whatever they, like mute animals, know from nature, in these things they are corrupted.
Jude 1:11
Woe to them! For they have gone after the way of Cain, and they have poured out the error of Balaam for profit, and they have perished in the sedition of Korah.
Jude 1:12
These ones are defiled within their banquets, enjoying themselves and feeding themselves without fear; waterless clouds, which are tossed about by winds; autumn trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted;
Jude 1:13
raging waves of the sea, foaming from their own confusion; wandering stars, for whom the whirlwind of darkness has been reserved forever!
Jude 1:14
And about these, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied, saying: "Behold, the Lord is arriving with thousands of his saints,
Jude 1:15
to execute judgment against everyone, and to reprove all the impious concerning all the works of their impiety, by which they have acted impiously, and concerning all the harsh things that impious sinners have spoken against God."
Jude 1:16
These ones are complaining murmurers, walking according to their own desires. And their mouth is speaking arrogance, admiring persons for the sake of gain.
Jude 1:17
But as for you, most beloved, be mindful of the words which have been foretold by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Jude 1:18
who declared to you that, in the end time, there would arrive mockers, walking according to their own desires, in impieties.
Jude 1:19
These are the ones who segregate themselves; they are animals, not having the Spirit.
Jude 1:20
But you, most beloved, are building yourselves up by your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Jude 1:21
keeping yourselves in the love of God, and anticipating the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:22
So certainly, reprove them, after they have been judged.
Jude 1:23
Yet truly, save them, seizing them from the fire. And have mercy on others: in fear, hating even that which is of the flesh, the defiled garment.
Jude 1:24
Then, to him who has the power to keep you free from sin and to present you, immaculate, with exultation, before the presence of his glory at the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Jude 1:25
to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord: to him be glory and magnificence, dominion and power, before all ages, and now, and in every age, forever. Amen.
Revelation 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;
Revelation 1:2
he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ.
