Versliste
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.
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.
And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness {Or, overcame See chapter 12:35 (Greek).}apprehended it not.
{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.
He came unto {Greek: his own things}his own, and they that were his own received him not.
These are of them that rebel against the light;They know not the ways thereof,Nor abide in the paths thereof.
for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness {Or, overcame See chapter 12:35 (Greek).}apprehended it not.
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light {Or, in}among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
in whom the god of this {Or, age}world hath blinded the {Greek: thoughts. Chapter 4:4, 11:3}minds of the unbelieving, {Or, that they should not see the light…image of God}that the {Greek: illumination.}light of the {See marginal note on chapter 2:12.}gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one.
