"No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us: "hereby know we that we abide in him, and he in us, because he 14 hath given us of his Spirit. "And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world, "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in 16 God. "And we know and have believed the love which God hath 1in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth 2 him also that is begotten of him. "Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments. "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not 4 grievous. "For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. "And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son +6 of God?

THE elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth; "for the truth's sake which abideth in us, (3) and it shall be with us for ever: 'Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

(4

I rejoice greatly that I have found certain of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment 5) from the Father. "And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one an(6) other. "And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye 7 heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. "For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. 8 This is the deceiver and the antichrist. "Look to yourselves, that ye 'lose not the things which we have (9 wrought, but that ye receive a full reward. "Whosoever 3goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. "If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not II into your house, and give him no greeting: "for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.
