First Epistle of John - Part 1 — Keith Daniel

God, in mercy on all of us now, come and visit us, keep us under the blood of Christ, cleanse the atmosphere with the blood of Christ, rebuke the devil away in the name of Jesus Christ, wash me in the blood of Christ, fill me with the Holy Spirit, and come by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, let this letter come alive.

Oh, have mercy on us, Lord, and especially this base, weak, despised man, come, show grace, give strength and help, for in weakness thy strength is made perfect. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me, for when I am weak, then am I strong.

I acknowledge it, God, please have mercy in my weakness, help me, anoint me, visit here, in Jesus Christ's name. We all unitedly agree and ask these things out of love for him, from our heart, amen. Can we be seated, please?

I am going to go as long as I think conscience will allow me. I intended to get through a book today, but I don't think I'm going to make it. I'm going to see how long, perhaps my mind can hold out, and how long you can hold out.

Emmanuel: God Manifested in the Flesh

Isaiah, and you need not look this up, please, because there's a lot of verses coming. A lot of verses from this holy book, but you know them, most of you can quote them, for which I bless God. Isaiah 7, verse 14,.

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and bear a son, and shall call his name, shall call his name Emmanuel. Now, that word Emmanuel is a Hebrew word, and it means God, God, God with us.

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name God, God, God, God with us. 1 Timothy 3, verse 16,. Great is the mystery of godliness. God, God was manifest in the flesh. God with us.

God was manifest in the flesh. John, chapter 1, verse 1,. In the beginning was the Word, capital W, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word was God. Verse 14,. And the Word was made flesh.

The Word was God, and the Word was made flesh. God was made flesh, and dwelt among us. God, God with us. God manifest in the flesh. God was made flesh, and dwelt among us. Hallelujah. Now the aged apostle whom Jesus loved, John, he was moved to write a letter, the first epistle of John, and he reflecting on these amazing revelations given to man, reflecting on God with us.

God manifested the flesh. God made flesh, who dwelt among us. He starts this letter, which would be read by millions and millions and millions over the ages, and he starts this, led by God the Holy Spirit, to write the divinely inspired Word of God for all generations.

John’s Witness of the Word of Life

He now writes, moved by God the Holy Spirit, don't doubt that. Concerning, and he reflects upon this God manifest in the flesh, that which was from the beginning, that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, that which is from the beginning, which we have heard, we have heard, we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands, our hands have handled of the Word of Life.

Our hands have handled of the Word of Life, for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and so unto you that eternal life which was with the Father, and which will manifest unto us.

That which we have seen and heard, that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that ye also may have fellowship with us. That ye also may have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the Father.

Truly, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. Truly, we do not lie. This has been made possible. This is possible. Truly, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

And these things, these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. That your joy may be full. This, then, is the message which we have heard of Him. And declare unto you that God is light. God is light.

God is light. And in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him. If we say that we have fellowship with Him. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness.

We lie. We lie. We lie. And do not the truth. But, but, if we walk in the light. If we walk in the light as He is in the light. We have fellowship one with another. I love that. If, if, if, if, if, if we walk in the light.

If we walk in the light. As He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another. And the blood of Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus Christ. His Son cleanseth us from all sin. The blood of Jesus Christ.

His Son cleanseth us from all sin. A man once asked to meet me. My. A man once asked to meet me in South Africa. A businessman over lunch. And he said to me. If you were asked for one verse. If you were asked for one verse.

In the entire Bible. That you would like this nation to be confronted with. That you would like this nation to be confronted with. What verse would you single out of the entire Bible? I said. The blood.

The blood of Jesus Christ. God's Son. Cleanseth us from all sin. The blood of Jesus Christ. God's Son cleanseth us from all sin. Well, he met me a few months later. He met me a few months later. And he had photographs.

And he said. Brother, I asked you this. Because I said to God. I'm going to ask this man. And that verse. I'm going to put on billboards right across the whole nation. Every town across our land. On the big billboards coming out of the freeways of every city.

And going in with these big amazing billboards. With black letters in a white background. The blood of Jesus Christ. God's Son. Cleanseth us from all sin. Hallelujah. Oh, that thrilled me as he showed me the photographs.

Of all these billboards. In one city after the other across my nation and land. The blood of Jesus Christ. God's Son cleanseth us from all sin. That is in a strange tense. It is in what we call the present continuous tense.

It's not just one cleansing. It's a strange word here in the Greek. It is cleanses. An initial cleansing obviously. That we know is salvation. And it goes on. Cleansing. After salvation. From anything Satan might make us do.

In his war against the saints. It is a present continuous tense. It does not just cleanse at the new birth. Of course. Initially there must be. This first cleansing when we come as sinners. Confessing to God our sinful state.

And so the blood cleanses initially at your salvation. By grace through faith. Being justified freely by grace through faith in his blood. Being justified freely by grace through faith in his blood. God said.

And this happens at salvation as we come confessing ourselves as sinners. And so he writes the next three verses. Staggering verses. If we say. If we say that we have no sin. We deceive ourselves. And the truth is not in us.

If we. If we confess our sins. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned. We have not sinned. We make him a liar. And his word is not in us.

How does that come now? We call God a liar. If we say that we have not sinned. We make him a liar. Well beloved. God has said. All have sinned. Romans 3 .23. There is none righteous. No not one. God says.

God says. All we like sheep have gone astray. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He tastes the death for every man.

Every man. That is you brother. You sister. He tastes the death for every single man. No man. No man could be saved without the blood of Jesus Christ. And no man can be saved unless they can come as sinners.

How can you ask God to save you from hell unless you know you are going to it. Unless you acknowledge you are going to it. And in case you think all the righteousness of your life will get you there. All your righteousness is as filth.

You know God couldn't come down to a more shocking word. All your righteousness is as filthy rags in my sight. God says. In Luke 18 verse 10. Jesus tells the story of two men. Two men went up into the temple to pray.

Repentance, Justification, and the Pharisee and Publican

Into the ordained religion of God. Two men went up into the temple to pray. To talk to God. To seek God. The one a Pharisee. The one a Pharisee. A deeply religious man. A deeply religious man. He dressed religiously.

The Pharisees dressed in a way deliberately. Carefully. That every single person who saw them knew they were sold on their religion. They dress so that they were marked out. Coming down the road you can see.

There is a Pharisee. Totally. Totally. Totally given into his religion. Unashamedly. By the way he dresses. They wouldn't be seen dead going to a worldly place. They were in all the meetings by the by.

They were the chief seats. They were so faithful. Because they were all meetings. They had the chief seats. The Pharisees. Well. Two men went up into the temple to pray. Jesus said. The one a Pharisee.

Oh God help me. The one a Pharisee. A deeply religious man. And the other a publican. An irreligious man. Looked upon by the religious as godless. To be a publican. You must be godless. The religious would have nothing to do with him.

And here this deeply religious man comes to pray. And this godless man comes to pray. The Pharisee stood. And prayed thus with himself. The Pharisee stood. And prayed thus with himself. God. I thank thee.

That I am not as other men are. I thank thee. That I am not as other men are. Now beloved. That's the biggest mistake he ever made in his life. Because in God's eyes he is as other men are. He is exactly as other men are.

With all his religion. That's the greatest mistake and calculation he ever grasped in his mind. I thank thee that I am not as other men are. He couldn't put himself into the category of a sinner. And so he names these people as he reasons with himself.

I thank thee I am not as other men are. Exhaustioners. Unjust. Adulterers. Or even as this publican. I fast. I fast twice in the week. I give tithes of all that I possess. I am not like other men. And the publican.

Jesus said standing afar off would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven. But smote upon his breast. And God be merciful to me. God be merciful to me. God be merciful to me. A sinner. It literally says this sinner.

He didn't look at anybody else to try and make himself feel a bit better that he's not as bad as others. He didn't look at other people's sins. He just saw his own sin. He came to God's house for one reason.

To get justified. To find mercy. For his sin. And so he comes as a sinner. Now Jesus says these staggering words. I tell you this man went down to his house justified rather than the other. This man went down to his house justified.

He couldn't put himself into the category of a sinner this Pharisee. I mean he's born. He's raised in religion. He hasn't been to the sins of the world. He couldn't put himself. And so this man grieves God.

I wonder what percentage. Oh. I wonder what percentage. I wonder what percentage of this world is going to hell through religion. I wonder what percentage has kept men from acknowledging themselves as going to hell because they were raised in religion and didn't go out into the sick sins of the world.

What percentage? They couldn't put themselves. They couldn't come to God as a sinner because they were born and raised in religion protected from sin. Oh. John says if we say that we have no sin. We deceive ourselves.

We deceive ourselves. We deceive ourselves. The truth is not in us. If we confess our sins. If we confess our sins. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we have not sinned. We have not sinned. We make him a liar. We make him a liar. And his word is not in us. And so the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanses us initially. As we come as sinners to God.

And don't deny that we are sinners. And don't hide behind any righteousness as we look at other people's sins. Nothing in my hands I bring. Simply to the cross I cling. Simply to the cross I cling. But now the blood of Jesus Christ God's son continually cleanses us from all sin.

Continually cleanses us from all sin. And now we look at sins after salvation. How his blood continues after salvation to cleanse and why. Why his blood will continue. But be careful now watch how he begins when he deals with people who come after salvation.

Christ Our Advocate and Atoning Sacrifice

For mercy. He starts with this verse my little children. These things write I unto you that ye sin not. Is that how to start when you talk about mercy if you fail? These things write I unto you that ye sin not.

Just preach it brother or God will require you why. You deny that's how it starts before you talk about cleansing and failures. That ye sin not. And if, if, if, if. He would have said whenever doesn't matter how many times.

But no he says if. If to you who I'm writing these things that you don't live in a life of sin. If any man that lives that. If any man sin any Christian. Anyone born of God after salvation. If any man sin we, we as Christians we have an advocate with the Father.

Jesus Christ the righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins. He is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. You see he takes the death for every man.

He's the way to God for mercy. The propitiation is a word taken from Leviticus 16. Where the priest comes. Only the priest was allowed to come into the tabernacle into the holiest of all. Once a year to make atonement.

And he comes with an atoning sacrifice. And this word propitiation literally means Jesus is our atoning sacrifice. Here the high priest comes. He slaughters the animal. He confesses the sins of the nation of the people of God.

And he sprinkles the blood on the mercy seat. And here God is taking this. This whole concept of the tabernacle which is literally in heaven. Literally the whole concept of coming to the mercy seat. Through this wonderful savior.

Who his life became an atonement for our sins. His blood. His blood. And here we have this wonderful concept. If any man sin we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous. If you go against the law.

You need an advocate to stand and defend you before the judge. You must get an advocate. To stand and defend you. But we have an advocate that stands before the heavenly father if we fail. The word of God.

The law of God. He stands there with his own blood. He points to the father. And he comes and shows mercy. His blood. His blood is put towards the father. His death. For any sin that might come as we confess it after salvation.

We have this advocate. Hallelujah. Oh beloved we have not a high priest which cannot be moved with the feeling of our infirmities. But was in all points tempted like as we are. That's amazing. But brother you think you're the only one that had such a temptation.

Christ said in all points he was tempted. Like as we are. Yet without sin. Wherefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace. To obtain mercy. Don't come brazenly. Come in humiliation but don't hesitate.

Don't let the devil keep you down there. If you fail. We have an advocate. Who knows what it is to face the onslaught of all the powers of hell. In every temptation you've ever faced. He faced it somehow.

He understands. He knows. That on your road to the celestial city. Having turned from the narrow road. From the broad road to the narrow road. That with all the powers of hell it's possible that you could fall.

And God does not say look it's not possible. He says. There is such a thing to you who turned from a life of sin. That a failure could come. But don't give up. I know it could be possible. I know what you went through.

I didn't sin but I am your high priest now. That cannot be moved with the feeling of your infirmities. He's moved. He's moved. He's moved. Hallelujah. Romans 8 verse 31. What shall we then say to these things?

If God before us. Who can be against us? He that spared not his own son but delivered him up for us all. How shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died. Yea rather that is risen again. Who is even at the right hand of God the Father.

Who also maketh intercession for us. Beloved. He ever liveth to make intercession for us. He ever liveth. Wherefore he's able to save them to the uttermost. He's able to save them to the uttermost. Who come to God the Father through him.

Because he ever liveth. To make intercession for us. He's there at the right hand of God the Father. Interceding. Interceding. This wonderful advocate. Who himself is the atonement. The atoning sacrifice.

Salvation, Holiness, and Victory Over Sin

At salvation his blood comes. 1 Peter 1 verse 18. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold. From your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers.

But with the precious blood of Christ. As of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Behold the Lamb of God John says. Who taketh away the sin of the world. He. He is the atoning sacrifice. He is the propitiation.

He comes to God with his blood. He comes to God with the payment. That you might be cleansed. He paid the penalty. For that which even happens after salvation. The blood continues to cleanse. From anything but beloved be careful now.

Be careful. This is not speaking. It's not a sin excusing doctrine. This is not a sin excusing doctrine. To those who've never come to a state of repentance. Who are still in unrepentant states. In a godless state.

This is not a sin excusing doctrine. We've got to be careful. My little children. These things write I unto you. That ye sin not. He says. So be careful to preach that before you cry out. This preacher.

Be not deceived. No unrighteous person shall enter the kingdom of heaven. God says. Not that defileth shall enter therein. Not that defileth shall enter therein. Holiness without which no man shall see God.

Jesus said. He that commiteth sin. That's the life of sin. Is the servant of sin. But if the son shall set you free. Has he? You shall be free indeed. Do you cheapen that by saying. I can't point to any point in my life.

Where God ever changed me. I'm still in a life of sin. Nothing changed. Oh be not deceived sir. If the son shall set you free. From being a servant. Romans 6 verse 16. Know ye not. That to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey.

His servants ye are. To whom ye obey. Whether of sin unto death. Or of obedience unto righteousness. But God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin. But ye have obeyed from the heart. That form of doctrine which is delivered you.

Being then made free from sin. And become servants to righteousness. You have your fruit. Oh beloved. Be careful. Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey. His servants ye are. God says.

To whom ye obey. Whether of sin unto death. Or of obedience unto righteousness. Be careful now. If any man be in Christ Jesus. He's a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold all things become new.

Or all these words. Nothing to you. These things write I unto you. That ye sin not. That ye sin not. But oh. God cries out to those who turn from the life of sin. And in a state of repentance. They've turned from the broad road.

They're down the narrow road. Thank God He said narrow. Narrow road. If they don't call you narrow. Brother. Sister. There's something wrong. Even in the most churches. If they don't call you narrow. There's something wrong.

It's narrow. Narrow. Narrow. Narrow. That leadeth to life. You came. You turned. God set you free. You became free indeed. You became a new creature in Christ. Old things are passed away. And all the powers of hell.

And all the people of hell. Will make sure you suffer. Beginning in your home. A man's enemies become a member of his own household. You don't have to wait. Your life is the conscience. How is it that you've turned.

From the life you used to join us with. You think anyone can recover from that. In your home. That's why all who will live godly in Christ Jesus. Shall suffer persecution. All brother. Who live godly in Christ Jesus.

Shall suffer persecution. By the godless. The ungodly. Oh. Be careful. My little children. These things write I unto you. That ye sin not. But if on your road to the celestial city. Having turned from a life of sin.

And in a repented state. That shocks the world. That cuts into the conscience. Of those who are not godly. Who are still in sin. Beginning in your own home. Oh. With all the powers of hell against you.

And all the powers of hell working through anyone. Even your loved ones. Once you turn. Once you turn. It's possible you could fall. God says. Now. If. If child you fall. Once you're in this state. Once you're in this repented state.

It's not the end. Don't you give up. Don't you give up. Get up. Get up. Look at your advocate. He is the atoning sacrifice. He ever liveth to make a decision for us. And he promises. God promises the blood.

Of Jesus Christ. His son. Continues. After salvation. In case the devil gets you to fail here. In your repented state. And isolated failure. Confess it. Look to the blood. Look to the atoning sacrifice.

And there he will stand before the father. And make a decision for you. And he promises you. His blood will cleanse you. As you walk with God. His blood will cleanse you. Failure comes here and there.

Under the onslaught of Satan and evil people. Look to the blood. But be careful. Be careful. It's not. A sin excusing doctrine. It's to those. Who. Sin not. Who turn from a life of sin. And victory is there.

Hallelujah. My little children. These things write I unto you. Age that John says that he sin not. Verse 3. And hereby we do know that we know him. Hereby we do know that we know him. Hereby we do know that we know him.

Hereby we do know that we know him. If. We. Keep. His commandments. He that sayeth I know him. And keepeth not his commandments. He's a liar. He that sayeth I know him. And keepeth not his commandments.

He's a liar. A liar. A liar. God says not me. Don't get angry with me. But who so keepeth his word. In him. Verily. Is the love of God perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him. He that sayeth he abideth in him.

I love that word. Abideth. He that sayeth he abideth in him. Ought himself also so to walk. Even as. He walked. Oh that's a standard. It's beyond comprehension. But God says. He that sayeth he abideth in him.

Ought himself also so to walk. Even. As. He walked. Brethren. I write no new commandment unto you. I write no new commandment unto you. But an old commandment which he had from the beginning. Of course.

He's reflecting now to the one commandment. Christ added. When he said a new commandment. I give unto you. That ye love one another. As I have loved you. That ye also love one another. By this. Shall all men know.

That ye are my disciples. Not professing. Christians. But those who follow him in truth. To live. According to his word. In obedience. To submit themselves to his teachings. No matter what it costs. By this.

Shall all men know. That ye are my disciples. If. Ye have love. One through another. And so John reflecting on this amazing statement. Christ added. This command. This new command. He writes. To these.

People. And to us. Brethren. I write no new commandment unto you. But an old commandment. Which he had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word. Which ye have heard from the beginning. Again.

A new commandment. I write unto you. Which thing is true. In him. And in you. Because the darkness has passed. And the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light. And hateth his brother.

He that saith he is in the light. And hateth his brother. He that saith he is in the light. And hateth his brother. Is in darkness. Even until now. He that loveth his brother. Abideth in the light. And there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

But he that hateth his brother. Is in darkness. And walketh in darkness. And knoweth not whither he goeth. Because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. I write unto you. Little children. I write unto you.

Little children. Because your sins. Are forgiven you. Because your sins are forgiven you. For his name's sake. I write unto you. Fathers. I write unto you. Fathers. Because ye have known him. That is from the beginning.

I write unto you. Young men. Because ye have overcome. The wicked one. Ye have overcome. The wicked one. I write unto you. Little children. Because ye have known. The father. I have written unto you. Fathers.

Because ye have known him. That is from the beginning. I have written unto you. Young men. Because ye are strong. And the word of God. Abideth in you. And ye have overcome. The wicked one. Love not the world.

Love not the world. Neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world. The love of the father is not in him. Of course he's taking these words now. That were related. By James. The Lord's brother.

In chapter four. He taught that the friendship of the world. Is enmity with God. James says. Whosoever therefore. Will be a friend of the world. Is the enemy of God. Whosoever wants to be there. With the wicked.

And their wickedness. Compromising and enjoying their sin. Whosoever therefore. Will be a friend of the world. Is the enemy of God. Don't doubt this. And so. This is godly. Godly. John says. Love not the world.

Chapter two verse fifteen. Love not the world. Neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world. The love of the father is not in him. For all that is in the world. The lust of the flesh.

And the lust of the eyes. And the pride of life. Is not of the father. But is of the world. And the world passeth away. And the lust thereof. The world passeth away. And the lust thereof. But he that doeth the will of God.

He that doeth the will of God. He that doeth the will of God. Abideth forever. Little children. It is the last time. And as ye have heard that antichrist shall come. As ye have heard that antichrist shall come.

Even now are there many antichrists. Even now are there many antichrists. Whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us. But they were not of us. For if they had been of us. If they had been of us.

They would no doubt have continued with us. If they had been of us. They would no doubt have continued with us. But they went out. That they might be made manifest. That they were not all of us. But ye.

Ye have an unction. From the holy one. And ye know all things. I have not written unto you. Because ye know not the truth. But because ye know it. And that no lies of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ.

He is antichrist. That denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. But he that acknowledgeeth the Son hath the Father also. I wonder what the Jehovah Witnesses think about that.

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. But he that acknowledgeeth the Son hath the Father also. So. You know. The Jehovah Witnesses didn't start in this generation. They didn't even start with what we think is their founder.

They were way back from the beginning. Denying Jesus was part of the Godhead. Divining the divinity of Christ. The triune God. No. Way back. End of the first century. Right into the beginning of the second century.

The Deity of Christ and the Error of Arius

The early church had a man called Arius. And this man, theologically minded, caused an uproar amongst the early church. He argued and reasoned that Christ could not be equal with God if He was created by God the Father.

He said He's not equal. He was denying. He was denying the divinity of Christ. How can He be God if He was created by God? And so. Eventually there was a large following right then in the early church.

Right at the beginning. Crying out. Against this thought that Jesus was God. And many people were being influenced. Many people were deeply influenced. And were being drawn away to perverted doctrines.

From truth. Because of these heretical teachings. You know the Jehovah Witnesses don't mind you saying that Jesus was. A son of God. Or the son of God. I mean. In the book of Job's the angels were the sons of God.

They don't mind calling Jesus the son of God. I mean you and I are called the sons of God in the New Testament. But tell them. This. That Jesus was not the son of God. He was God the Son. Then they don't like it.

Don't ever talk to a Jehovah Witness about the son of God. He was the God the Son. And John clearly teaches. He was God. He was not only God. He was God the Creator. He. Jesus was the Creator. That part of the Trinity.

He was God the Creator. He was God the Savior. He was God the coming Judge. And all this. John teaches. Clearly. He's God. God. God manifests in the flesh. Oh well the Jehovah Witnesses will soon. Start wiping the dust off their feet of you.

And cursing you. If you don't give up that thought. Be careful of them. They know how to. Subtly change their doctrine. To somehow get through to you you know. If you're not right through. They even talk about being born again now.

Oh the devil comes as an angel of light you know. And the devil only used the Bible when he attacked Jesus. You think people aren't going to attack you with the Bible? That the devil sends? Be careful.

It's probably only the Scriptures. The tragedy is they just can't. Can't stand in the light of the rest of the Scriptures. Not even the rest of their chapter. Nothing they say. Nothing they say. Will stand.

And so. This John. Warns us. Warns us. Warns us. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth. But because ye know it. And that no liar is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth.

That Jesus is the Christ. He is antichrist. That denieth the father and the son. Whosoever denieth the son the same hath not the father. But he that acknowledgeth the son. Hath the father also. Let that therefore abide in you which ye have heard from the beginning.

If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you. Ye also shall continue in the son. And in the father. And this is the promise that he has promised us. Even eternal life. These things have I written unto you.

Concerning them that seduce you. That pervert doctrine and truth. And draw you away into heresy. Be careful. Continue in that which you heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you.

Ye also shall continue in the son. And in the father. And this is the promise that he has promised us. Even eternal life. These things have I written unto you. Concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him.

Abideth in you. And ye need not that any man teach you. But as the same anointing teaches you of all things. And is truth and is no lie. And even as it has taught you. Ye shall abide in him. And now little children.

Abide in him. Abide in Him. And now little children abide in Him. That when He shall appear. We may have confidence and not be ashamed. Before Him it is coming. And now little children abide in Him. Abide in Him.
