1599 Geneva Bible
19 [a]We know that we are of God, and this whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 But we know that that Son of God is (A)come, and hath given us a mind to know him, which is true, and we are in him that is true, that is, in that his Son Jesus Christ, the same is that very [b]God, and that eternal life.
21 [c]Little children, keep yourselves from idols, Amen.
