As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that we walk in love.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
And we are in Him Who is true- even in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
We know that we are the children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him Who is true. And we are in Him Who is true- even in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and etrnal life.
And if we know that He hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of Him.
This is the One Who came by water and blood- Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit Who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loveing God and carrying out His commands. This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.
