1
Each man that believeth that Jesus is Christ, is born of God; and each man that loveth him that engendered [and each that loveth him that gendereth], loveth him that is born of him.
2
In this thing we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.
3
For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments be not heavy [and his commandments be not grievous].
4
For all thing that is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.
5
And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
This is Jesus Christ, that came by water and blood; not in water only, but in water and blood. And the Spirit is he that witnesseth, that Christ is [the] truth.
