¹Each man that believeth that Jesus is Christ, is born of God; and each man that loveth him that engendered or that engendereth, loveth him that is born of him.

²In this thing we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.

³For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments be not heavy or grievous.

⁴For all thing that is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.

⁵And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶This is Jesus Christ, that came by water and blood; not in water only, but in water and blood. And the Spirit is he that witnesseth, that Christ is the truth.

⁷For three be, that give witnessing in heaven, the Father, the Son or the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three be one.

⁸And three be, that give witnessing in earth, the Spirit, water, and blood; and these three be one.

⁹If we receive the witnessing of men, the witnessing of God is more; for this is the witnessing of God, that is more, for he witnessed of his Son.

¹⁰He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the witnessing of God in him. He that believeth not to the Son, maketh him a liar; for he believeth not in the witnessing that God witnessed of his Son.

¹¹And this is the witnessing, for God gave to you or to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son.

¹²He that hath the Son of God, hath also life; he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.

¹³I write to you these things, that ye know, that ye have everlasting life, which believe in the name of God’s Son.

¹⁴And this is the trust which we have to God or that we have in God, that whatever thing we ask after his will, he shall hear us.

¹⁵And we know, that he heareth us, whatever thing we shall ask; we know, that we have the askings, that we ask of him.

¹⁶He that knoweth that his brother sinneth a sin not to death, ask he, and life shall be given to him that sinneth not to death. There is a sin to death; not for it I say, that any man pray.

¹⁷Each wickedness is sin, and there is a sin to death.

¹⁸We know, that each man that is born of God, sinneth not; but the generation of God keepeth him, and the wicked toucheth him not.

¹⁹We know, that we be of God, and all the world is set in evil.

²⁰And we know, that the Son of God came in flesh, and gave to us wit, that we know him very God, and be in the very Son Jesus of him. This is very God, and everlasting life.

²¹My little sons, keep ye you from maumets or from simulacra. My little sons, keep away from idols. Amen.
