1 John 1:3; 1 John 1:5; 1 John 1:6; 1 John 1:7; 1 John 1:10; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 2:3; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 2:5; 1 John 2:6; 1 John 2:8; 1 John 2:9; 1 John 2:10; 1 John 2:11; 1 John 2:12; 1 John 2:17; 1 John 2:21; 1 John 2:25; 1 John 2:27; 1 John 2:28; 1 John 3:1; 1 John 3:2; 1 John 3:3; 1 John 3:5; 1 John 3:6; 1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:10; 1 John 3:12; 1 John 3:15; 1 John 3:16; 1 John 3:17; 1 John 3:22; 1 John 3:23; 1 John 3:24; 1 John 4:4; 1 John 4:5; 1 John 4:9; 1 John 4:10; 1 John 4:12; 1 John 4:13; 1 John 4:15; 1 John 4:19; 1 John 4:20; 1 John 4:21; 1 John 5:2; 1 John 5:3; 1 John 5:9; 1 John 5:10; 1 John 5:11; 1 John 5:14; 1 John 5:16; 1 John 5:18; 1 John 5:20

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 1:6

6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

1 John 1:7

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, purifies us from all sin.

1 John 1:10

10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

1 John 2:2

2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:3

3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.

1 John 2:4

4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

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 2:6

6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

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 2:9

9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.

1 John 2:10

10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.

1 John 2:11

11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

1 John 2:12

12 I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.

1 John 2:17

17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:21

21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

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 2:28

28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

1 John 3:1

1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

1 John 3:2

2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

1 John 3:3

3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

1 John 3:5

5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

1 John 3:6

6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

1 John 3:9

9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.

1 John 3:10

10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

1 John 3:12

12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.

1 John 3:15

15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

1 John 3:16

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

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 3:23

23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

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 4:4

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

1 John 4:5

5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.

1 John 4:9

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

1 John 4:10

10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1 John 4:12

12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

1 John 4:13

13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.

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 4:19

19 We love because he first loved us.

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 4:21

21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

1 John 5:2

2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.

1 John 5:3

3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

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 5:11

11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in 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 5:16

16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.

1 John 5:18

18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.

1 John 5:20

20 We know also 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 by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
