My little children, these things write I vnto you, that ye sinne not: and if any man sinne, wee haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ, the Iust.
And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world.
And hereby we are sure that we knowe him, if we keepe his commandements.

Againe, a new comandement I write vnto you, that which is true in him, and also in you: for the darkenes is past, and that true light now shineth.
He that saith that hee is in that light, and hateth his brother, is in darkenes, vntill this time.
Hee that loueth his brother, abideth in that light, and there is none occasion of euil in him.
