American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And the Word became flesh, and {Greek: tabernacled}dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of {Or, an only begotten from a father Compare Hebrews 11:17}the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
No man hath seen God at any time; {Many very ancient authorities read God only begotten.}the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
Herein was the love of God manifested {Or, in our case}in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.
but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
and these things we write, that {Many ancient authorities read your.}our joy may be made full.
There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
