1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2. Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.
3. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4. For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.
