- The Word of life was manifested unto us, so that we may have fellowship with the Lord. God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from sin. If we confess our sins, He will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. #1John1
- Love your brothers and sisters and be in the light; hate your brothers and sisters and be in darkness. Do not love the world or anything in the world. The antichrist denies that Jesus is the Christ. Remain in the Son and Father and be promised eternal life. #1John2
- As children of God, we should be righteous & avoid sin. Love one another by preparing to lay down your life for another as Jesus did for all mankind, or give to the needy. If our hearts condemn us, we are not doing good. Keep the commands of God and rest in his presence. #1John3
- The spirit of the antichrist denies that Jesus Christ in the flesh is of God. God is love, and he so loved us that he sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice. Perfect love drives out fear. Anyone who loves God must also love his brother and sister. #1John4
- Show love for God by keeping his commandments. There are three that bear witness to the truth: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. We are children of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. #1John5
- Follow the command that you have heard from the beginning: love one another, walk in love, continue in the teaching of Christ. #2John1
- The elder, John, writes to Gaius, rejoicing that his followers are walking in the truth. Diotrephes, however, is spreading malicious words though we have a good report of Demetrius. Do not follow evil but what is good: he that does evil has not seen God. #3John1
