Book 62 1 John 001:001 That which was from the beginning, which we
have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own
hands have handled concerning the Word of Life-- 001:002 the Life
was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare
unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was
manifested to us-- 001:003 that which we have seen and listened to we
now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship
in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father
and with His Son Jesus Christ. 001:004 And we write these things in
order that our joy may be made complete. 001:005 This is the Message
which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God
is Light, and in Him there is no darkness. 001:006 If, while we are
living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak
falsely and are not adhering to the truth. 001:007 But if we live in the
light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. 001:008 If we claim
to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has
no place in our hearts. 001:009 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful
and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all
unrighteousness. 001:010 If we deny that we have sinned, we make
Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts. 002:001 Dear
children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one

sins, we have an Advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ the righteous;
002:002 and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours
only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 002:003 And by this we
may know that we know Him--if we obey His commands. 002:004 He
who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a
liar, and the truth has no place in his heart. 002:005 But whoever obeys
His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection.
By this we can know that we are in Him. 002:006 The man who
professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He
lived. 002:007 My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I
am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the
very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you
have already received. 002:008 And yet I *am* giving you a new
command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned:
because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light,
is already beginning to shine. 002:009 Any one who professes to be in
the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness. 002:010 He
who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no
stumbling-block in the way of others. 002:011 But he who hates his
brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not
know where he is going-- because the darkness has
