1
 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2
 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3
 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4
 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even
our faith.
5
 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
 This is he that came by water and blood,
even
Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7
 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8
 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9
 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10
 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11
 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12
 He that hath the Son hath life;
and
he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13
 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14
 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15
 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16
 If any man see his brother sin a sin
which is
not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17
 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18
 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19
Â
And
we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20
 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,
even
in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21
 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
A Song of degrees of David.
1
 If
it had not been
the L
ORD
who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2
 If
it had not been
the L
ORD
who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3
 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4
 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5
 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6
 Blessed
be
the L
ORD
, who hath not given us
as
a prey to their teeth.
7
 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8
 Our help
is
in the name of the L
ORD
, who made heaven and earth.
5
 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
6
 In the transgression of an evil man
there is
a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7
 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor:
but
the wicked regardeth not to know
it.
8
 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise
men
turn away wrath.
1
 Hear the word of the L
ORD
, ye children of Israel: for the L
ORD
hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because
there is
no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2
 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3
 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4
 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people
are
as they that strive with the priest.
5
 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6
 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7
 As they were increased, so they sinned against me:
therefore
will I change their glory into shame.
8
 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9
 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10
 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the L
ORD
.
11
 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
12
 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused
them
to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13
 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof
is
good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14
 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people
that
doth not understand shall fall.
15
 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot,
yet
let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The L
ORD
liveth.
16
 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the L
ORD
will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17
 Ephraim
is
joined to idols: let him alone.
18
 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers
with
shame do love, Give ye.
19
 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
5:
1
 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment
is
toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2
 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I
have been
a rebuker of them all.
3
 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom,
and
Israel is defiled.
4
 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms
is
in the midst of them, and they have not known the L
ORD
.
5
 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
6
 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the L
ORD
; but they shall not find
him;
he hath withdrawn himself from them.
7
 They have dealt treacherously against the L
ORD
: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
8
 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah,
and
the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud
at
Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9
 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
10
 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:
therefore
I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11
 Ephraim
is
oppressed
and
broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
12
 Therefore
will
I
be
unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13
 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah
saw
his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
14
 For I
will be
unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I,
even
I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue
him.
15
 I will go
and
return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
1
 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I [John] love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2
 for the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3
 Grace be with you, mercy,
and
peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4
 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5
 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6
 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7
 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8
 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9
 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10
 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into
your
house, neither bid him God speed:
11
 for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12
 Having many things to write unto you, I would not
write
with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13
 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
A Song of degrees.
1
 They that trust in the L
ORD
shall be
as mount Zion,
which
cannot be removed,
but
abideth for ever.
2
 As the mountains
are
round about Jerusalem, so the L
ORD
is
round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3
 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4
 Do good, O L
ORD
, unto
those that be
good, and
to them that are
upright in their hearts.
5
 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the L
ORD
shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity:
but
peace
shall be
upon Israel.
