1 John 1:5; 1 John 1:7; 1 John 1:8; 1 John 1:9; 1 John 1:10; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 2:7; 1 John 2:8; 1 John 2:9; 1 John 2:10; 1 John 2:11; 1 John 2:15; 1 John 2:16; 1 John 2:18; 1 John 2:21; 1 John 2:22; 1 John 2:25; 1 John 2:27; 1 John 2:29; 1 John 3:2; 1 John 3:3; 1 John 3:4; 1 John 3:5; 1 John 3:7; 1 John 3:8; 1 John 3:10; 1 John 3:11; 1 John 3:15; 1 John 3:20; 1 John 3:23; 1 John 4:1; 1 John 4:2; 1 John 4:3; 1 John 4:4; 1 John 4:6; 1 John 4:7; 1 John 4:8; 1 John 4:10; 1 John 4:12; 1 John 4:15; 1 John 4:16; 1 John 4:17; 1 John 4:18; 1 John 4:20; 1 John 5:1; 1 John 5:3; 1 John 5:4; 1 John 5:5; 1 John 5:6; 1 John 5:9; 1 John 5:11; 1 John 5:14; 1 John 5:16; 1 John 5:17; 1 John 5:20

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 1:7

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 1:8

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

1 John 1:9

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

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 2:4

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 2:7

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 2:9

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 2:15

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

1 John 2:16

16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

1 John 2:18

18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

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 2:22

22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.

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 2:29

29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of 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 3:4

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

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 3:7

7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

1 John 3:8

8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

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 3:11

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

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 3:20

20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

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 4:1

1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

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 4:4

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 4:6

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 4:7

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

1 John 4:8

8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

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 4:15

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 4:17

17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

1 John 4:18

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

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 5:1

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.

1 John 5:3

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

1 John 5:4

4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

1 John 5:5

5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

1 John 5:6

6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

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 5:11

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 5:17

17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

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.
