1 John 1:5; 1 John 2:5; 1 John 2:14; 1 John 2:17; 1 John 3:1; 1 John 3:2; 1 John 3:8; 1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:10; 1 John 3:17; 1 John 3:20; 1 John 3:21; 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 4:9; 1 John 4:10; 1 John 4:11; 1 John 4:12; 1 John 4:15; 1 John 4:16; 1 John 4:20; 1 John 4:21; 1 John 5:1; 1 John 5:2; 1 John 5:3; 1 John 5:4; 1 John 5:5; 1 John 5:9; 1 John 5:10; 1 John 5:11; 1 John 5:12; 1 John 5:13; 1 John 5:18; 1 John 5:19; 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 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 2:14

14 I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

1 John 2:17

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

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 3:8

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 3:9

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 3:17

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 3:20

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

1 John 3:21

21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God

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 4:9

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 4:11

11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

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 4:20

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 5:1

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 5:2

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 5:4

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 5:9

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 5:12

12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

1 John 5:13

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

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 5:19

19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

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.
