Jesus is the Son of God. God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that b we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not c griev ous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh d the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came e by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit f that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, g the Word, h and the Holy Ghost: i and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, k and the water, and the blood: m and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. of God hath the witness n in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life o is in his Son. 12 Hep that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye q may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we knowr that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 16 If any man see his brother sin shall ask, and he shall give him life a sin which is not unto death, he for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: s I do not say t that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness u is sin: and there v is a sin not unto death. 18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, w and that wicked one toucheth him not. Jesus is able to save us, 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, x that we may know & 3 JOHN.

The Second Epistle of JOHN. have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7 For many c deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Lookd to yourselves, that we e lose not those things which we have 1 wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not inf the doctrine of He that Christ, hath not God. abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 Ifg there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed, is partaker h of his evil deeds. 12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink : but I trust to come unto you, and speak 2 face to face, that 3 our joy i may be full. 13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. The Third Epistle of JOHN. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the e 1Co.9.15,18. brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou ƒ Mat. 10.40. walkest a in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy b than to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully c whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey 3 after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, takinge nothing of the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive f such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
