| By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already. | Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. |
| You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. | Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. |
| Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. | Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. |
| He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. | He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. |
| By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him. | In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. |
| In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. | Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. |
| Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another. | Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. |
| No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us. | No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. |
| By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. | Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. |
| Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God. | Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. |
| We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. | And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. |
| There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. | There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. |
| If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? | If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
| This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother. | And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. |
| For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. | For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. |
| Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? |
| The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. | And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. |
| He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life. | He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. |
| These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. | These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. |
| This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. | And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. |
| And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. | And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. |
| We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. | And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. |
| Little children, keep yourselves from idols. | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. |
