And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;

because all that [is] in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but -- that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;

and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.
