American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
{Or, the true light, which lighteth every man, was coming}There was the true light, even the light which lighteth {Or, every man as he cometh}every man, coming into the world.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
giving thanks unto the Father, who made {Some ancient authorities read you.}us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of {Or, this body of death}the body of this death?
But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But all things when they are {Or, convicted}reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
