1 John 1:1; 1 John 1:3; 1 John 1:5; 1 John 2:5; 1 John 2:7; 1 John 2:8; 1 John 2:24; 1 John 2:25; 1 John 2:27; 1 John 3:11; 1 John 3:17; 1 John 3:22; 1 John 3:24; 1 John 4:2; 1 John 4:3; 1 John 4:6; 1 John 4:15; 1 John 4:16; 1 John 4:20; 1 John 5:9; 1 John 5:10; 1 John 5:14; 1 John 5:15

1 John 1:1

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

1 John 1:3

3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

1 John 1:5

5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

1 John 2:5

5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:

1 John 2:7

7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.

1 John 2:8

8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

1 John 2:24

24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

1 John 2:25

25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.

1 John 2:27

27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

1 John 3:11

11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

1 John 3:17

17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

1 John 3:22

22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.

1 John 3:24

24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

1 John 4:2

2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

1 John 4:3

3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

1 John 4:6

6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

1 John 4:15

15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

1 John 4:16

16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

1 John 4:20

20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

1 John 5:9

9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

1 John 5:10

10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.

1 John 5:14

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

1 John 5:15

15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
