I,II,III John

I John 1

I Jn 1:3 And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
I Jn 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
I Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
I Jn 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
I Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 2
I Jn 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
I Jn 2:4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I Jn 2:5 But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:
I Jn 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
I Jn 2:8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
I Jn 2:9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
I Jn 2:10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.
I Jn 2:11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.
I Jn 2:14 ...I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
I Jn 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
I Jn 2:16 For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.
I Jn 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
I Jn 2:23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
I Jn 2:24 See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
I Jn 2:25 And this is what he promised us—even eternal life.
I Jn 2:28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
I Jn 2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

1 John 3

I Jn 3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
I Jn 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
I Jn 3:3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
I Jn 3:5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.
I Jn 3:6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
I Jn 3:7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
I Jn 3:8 He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
I Jn 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
I Jn 3:10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
I Jn 3:11 This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
I Jn 3:12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.
I Jn 3:15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
I Jn 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
I Jn 3:17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
I Jn 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
I Jn 3:19 This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence
I Jn 3:20 whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
I Jn 3:21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
I Jn 3:22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.
I Jn 3:23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
I Jn 3:24 Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

1 John 4
I Jn 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
I Jn 4:5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
I Jn 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
I Jn 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
I Jn 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
I Jn 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
I Jn 4:11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
I Jn 4:12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
I Jn 4:13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
I Jn 4:16 God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
I Jn 4:17 In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
I Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
I Jn 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
I Jn 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
I Jn 4:21 And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

1 John 5
I Jn 5:2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
I Jn 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
I Jn 5:4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
I Jn 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I Jn 5:18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.
I Jn 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
I Jn 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

II John

II Jn 2 because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
II Jn 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

III John

III Jn 3 It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth.
III Jn 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
III Jn 11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
