THat which was frō the begynninge / concerninge which [ A] we have hearde / which we have sene with oure eyes / which we have loked vpon / & oure hondes have hādled / of the worde of life. For the lyfe appered / & we have se∣ne / & beare witnes / & shewe vnto you that eternall lyfe / which was with the father / and appered vnto vs. That which we have sene and herde declare we vnto you / that ye maye have felloushippe with vs / and that oure fellishippe maye be with the father and his sonne Iesus Christ. And this write
And this is the tydynges which we have [ B] * 1.2 hearde of him / and declare vnto you / that god is lyght / and in him is no darknes at all / yf* 1.3 we saye that we have fellishippe with him / & yet walke in darknes / welye / and do not the truth: but and yf we walke in (lyght) even as he is in lyght / then have we fellishippe with him / and the bloud of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.
Yf we saye that we have no synne / we dece¦ave oure selves / and trueth is not in vs. Yf we * 1.4 knowledge oure synnes / he is faythfull and iust / to forgeve vs oure synnes / and to clense vs from all vnrightewesnes. Yf we saye we have not sinned / we make him alyar / & his worde is not in vs.
¶ The .ii. Chap. ✚
MYlytell children / these thynges wri∣te I vnto you / that ye synne not: yf e∣ny [ A] * 1.5 man synne / yet we have an advoca¦te with y• father / Iesus Christ / which is righ¦teous: & he it is that obteyneth grace for oure synnes: not for oure synnes only: but also for the synnes of all the worlde. And herby we are sure that we knowe him / yf we kepe his *cō∣maundementes. He that sayth I knowe him / and kepeth not his commaundementes is a lyar / & the veritie is not in him. Whosoever kepeth his (worde) in him is the love of god parfect in dede. And therby knowe we that we are in him. He that sayth he bydeth in him [ B] * 1.6 ought to walke even as he walked. ⊢
vnto you: but that olde cōmaundemēt which ye hearde from the begynnynge. The olde cō∣maundement is the worde which ye hearde from the begynnynge. Agayne a newe cōma∣undement I write vnto you / a thynge that is true in him / and also in you: for the darknes is past / and the true lyght now shyneth. He that sayth how that he is in the light / and yet ha∣teth his brother / is in darknes even vntyll this tyme. He that loveth his brother / aby∣deth in the light and ther is none occasion of evyll in him. He that * 1.7 hateth his brother is in darknes / and walketh in darknes: and cannot tell whither he goeth / because that darknes hath blynded his eyes.
Babes I write vnto you how that youre [ C] synnes are forgeven you for his names sake. I wryte vnto you fathers / how that ye have knowen him that was from the begynnynge. I wryte vnto you yonge men / how that ye ha¦ve overcome the wicked. I wryte vnto you ly∣tell children / how that ye have knowne the fa¦ther. I wryte vnto you fathers / how that y e have knowē him that was frō the begynnyn¦ge. I wryte vnto you yoūge men / how that ye are stronge: and the worde of God abydeth in you and ye have over come that wicked.
Se that ye love not the worlde / nether the* 1.8 thynges that are in the worlde. Yf eny man love the worlde / the love of the father is not in him. For all that is in y• worlde (as the lust of the flesshe / the lust of the eyes / & ye pryde of gooddes) is not of the father: but of ye worlde
And the worlde vannyssheth awaye / and the lust therof: but he that fulfilleth the will of god / abydeth ever.
Lytell children it is the last tyme / and as ye have herde how that Antichrist shall come: even now are there many Antichristes come* 1.9 allredy. Wherby we knowe that it is the last tyme. They went oute from vs but they were not of vs. For yf they had bene of vs / they wolde no dout / have continued with vs. But that fortuned that yt myght appere / that they were not of vs.
And ye have an * 1.10 oyntment of ye holy gost / [ D] and ye knowe all thynges. ✚ I wrote not vn to you / as though ye knewe not the trueth: but as though ye knewe it and knowe also that no lye commeth of trueth. Who is a lyar: but he that denyeth that Iesus is Christ? The sa∣me is the Antichrist that denyeth the father and the sonne. Whosoever denyeth the sonne the same hath not the father. Let therfore aby¦de in you that same which ye hearde from the begynnynge. Yf that which ye hearde from ye begynnynge / shall remayne in you / ye also shall continewe in the sonne / and in the father And this is the promes y• he hath promysed vs / even eternall lyfe.
This have I writtē vnto you / concernynge thē y• disceave you. And ye anoyntynge which ye have receaved of him / dwelleth in you. And ye nede not that eny man teache you: but as ye annoyntynge teaheth you all thynges / and is true / and is no lye: and as it taught you / even
so byde therin. And nowe babes abyde in him* 1.11 that when he shall appere / we maye be bolde and not be made a shamed of him at his com∣mynge. Yf ye knowe that he is righteous / kno¦we also that he which foloweth rightewes∣nes / is borne of him.
¶ The .iii. Chapter.
BEholde what love the father hath she∣wed on vs / that we shuld be called the sonnes of god. For this cause the worl¦de knoweth you not because it knoweth not him. Derely beloved / now are we ye sonnes of God / & yet it dothe not appere what we shal¦be. But we knowe that when it shall appere / we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se him as he is. And every man that hath thys hope in him pourgeth him silfe / even as he ys pure. Whosover committeth synne / committeth vnrighteousnes also / for synne is * 1.12 vnrigh∣teousnes. And ye knowe that he appered to take awaye oure synnes / and in him is no synne. As many as byde in him synne not: whosoever synneth hath not sene him / nether hath knowen him.
Babes let no man deceave you / He that [ B] doeth righteousnes / is righteous / even as he is righteous. He that cōmitteth synne / is of the devill: for the devyll synneth sence the be¦gynnynge.* 1.13 For this purpose appered the son¦ne of god / to lowse the workes of the devill. Whosoever is borne of god / sinneth not: for his seed remayneth in him and he cannot sin¦ne / because* 1.14 he is borne of god. In this are the children of god knowen / and the children of
the devyll. Whosoever doeth not rightewes∣nes / is not of God / nether he that loveth not his brother.* 1.15
For this is the tydinges / that ye hearde frō the begynninge / that we shuld love one ano∣ther: not as Cayn which was of the wicked and slewe his brother. And wherfore slewe he him? Because his awne workes were evyst / & his brothers good. ✚ Marvayle not my bre∣thren though the worlde hate you. We kno∣we that we are translated from * 1.16 deeth vnto lyfe / be cause we love the brethren. He that lo¦veth not his brother / abydeth in deeth. Who∣soever hateth his brother / is a man slear. And ye knowe that no man slear / hath eternall lyfe abydinge in him.
Herby perceave we love: that he gave his [ D] lyfe for vs: and therfore ought we also to geve oure lyves for the brethrē. Whosoever hath this worldes good & seith his hrother have neade: & shutteth vp his cōpassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? My ba¦bes / let vs not love in worde / nether in tonge: but with dede and in veritie: ✚ for * 1.17 therby we knowe that we are of the veritie / and can before him quiet oure hertes. But yf oure hertes condempne vs / God is gretter then oure hertes / and knoweth all thinges. Belo∣ved / yf oure hertes condempne vs not / then have we trust to god warde: and what soever we axe / we shall receave of him: because we* 1.18 kepe his commaundementes / and do those thinges which are pleasinge in his sight.
And this is his cōmaundemēt / that we be∣leve * 1.19 on ye name of his sonne Iesus Christ / & love one another / as he gave cōmaundemēt. And he yt kepeth his cōmaundemētes dwel∣leth in him / and he in him: & therby we knowe that ther abydeth in vs of the sprete which he gave vs.
¶ The .iiii. Chapter
YE beloved / beleve not every sprete: but [ A] prove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde. Herby shall ye knowe the sprete of God. Every sprete that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe is of God. And every sprete which cō∣fesseth not yt Iesus Christ is come in the fles¦she / is not of God. And this is that sprete of Antichrist / of whom ye have hearde / howe that he shuld come: and even now alredy is he in the worlde.
Lytell chyldrē / ye are of God / & have over∣come them: for greater is he yt is in you / then he that is in the worlde. They are of the worl¦de / & therfore speake they of the worlde / & the [ B] worlde heareth them. We are of God. He yt knoweth God / heareth vs: he that is not of God / heareth vs not. Herby knowe we ye spre¦te of veritie / & the sprete of erroure.
Beloved / let vs love one another: for love cōmeth of God. And every one that loveth / is borne of God / and knoweth God. He that lo∣veth not / knoweth not God: ✚ for God is lo∣ve. In this appered ye love of god to vs ward
because that god sent his only begotten sonne into the worlde / that we myght live thorow him. Herin is love / not that we loved god / but* 1.20 that he loved vs / and sent his sonne to make agrement for oure sinnes.
Beloved / yf god so loved vs / we ought also to love one another. No man hath sene god at* 1.21 enytyme. Yf we love one another / god dwel∣leth in vs / and his love is parfect in vs. Her∣by know we / that we dwell in him / and he in vs: because he hath geven vs of his sprete. And we have sene and do testifie that the fa∣ther sent the sonne / which is the saveour of the worlde. Whosoever confesseth that Ie∣sus is the sonne of god / in him dwelleth god / and he in god. And we have knowen and bele¦ved the love that god hath to vs.
God is love / and he that dwelleth in love [ D] dwelleth in god / and god in him. Herin is the love perfect in vs / that we shuld have trust in the daye of iudgement: For as he is / even so are we in this worlde. Ther is no feare in love / but parfect love casteth out all feare / for feare hath paynfulnes. He yt feareth / is not parfect in love.
We love him / for he loved vs fyrst. Yf a man saye / I love god / and yet hate his brother* 1.22 he is a lyar. For how can he yt loveth not his brother whom he hath sene / love god whom he hath not sene? And this commaundemēt have we of him: that he which loveth God / shuld love his brother also. ⊢
VVhosoever beleveth that Iesus is* 1.23 Christ / is borne of god. And every o∣ne [ A] yt loveth him which begat / loveth him also which was begottē of him. In this we knowe yt we love the children of god / whē we love god / & kepe his cōmaūdemente. This is ye love of god / yt we kepe his cōmaundemē¦tes / & his cōmaundementes are not greveous* 1.24 ✚ For all that is borne of god / over commeth the worlde. And this is the victory that over cōmeth the worlde / even oure * 1.25 fayth. Who is it that overcommeth the worlde: but he which beleveth that Iesus is ye sonne of god?
This Iesus Christ is he that cā by water and bloud / not by water only: but by water & [ B] bloud. And it is the sprete that beareth wit∣nes / because the sprete ys trueth. (For ther are thre which beare recorde in heuen / the father / the worde / and the wholy goost. And these* 1.26 thre are one) For there are thre which beare re¦corde (in erth:) the sprete / & water / and bloud: and these thre are one. Yf we receave the wit∣nes of men / the witnes of god is greater. For this is the witnes of god / which he testifyed of his sonne. He that beleveth on the sonne of god / hath the witnes in him silfe. ✚ He that beleveth not God / hath made him a lyar / be¦cause he beleved not the recorde that god ga∣ve of his sonne. And this ys that recorde / how that god hath geven vnto vs eternall lyfe••* 1.27 and this lyfe is in his sonne. He that hath the sonne / hath lyfe: and he that hath not the sonne of god / hath not lyfe.
These thynges have I written vnto you that beleve on the name of the sonne of God / that ye maye knowe howe that ye have eternall ly∣fe / and that ye maye beleve on the name of the sonne of god. And this is the trust that we have in him: that yf we axe eny thinge accor¦dynge to his will he heareth vs. And yf we knowe that he heare vs what soever we axe / we knowe that we shall have the peticions that we desyre of him.
Yf eny man se his brother synne a synne [ D] that is not vnto deeth / let him axe / and he shall geve him lyfe for them that synne not* 1.28 vnto deeth. Ther is a synne vnto deeth / for which saye I not that a man shuld praye. All vnrightewesnes is synne / and ther is syn¦ne not vnto deeth.
We knowe that whosoever is borne of god / * 1.29 synneth not: but he that is begotten of god ke¦peth him silfe / and that wicked toucheth him not. We knowe that we are of god / and that the worlde is altogedder set on wickednes. We knowe that the sonne of God is come / & hath geven vs a mynde to knowe him which is true: and we are in him that is true / through his sonne Iesu Christ. This same is very god / and eternall lyfe. Babes ke∣pe youre selves from ymages.
Amen.
