The New Testament Books of 1 & 2 & 3 John and Jude
The New Testament Book of 1 John
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us.
1 John 1:8 KJV
* CHAP * COMMENTS
* 1 * We bear witness to that which we have seen and heard of the Word of
Life that ye may have fellowship with us and with God and his Son
Jesus Christ. We write that your joy may be full. God is light.
In him is no darkness at all. If we say we have no sin we lie and
deceive ourselves. If we confess our sins, he will forgive and
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
* 2 * Don't sin. Christ is the propitiation for our sins. We know him if
we keep his commandments. You can't hate your brother & walk in the
light. Love not the world for it passeth away. An anti-Christ
denies the Father and the Son.
* 3 * How does the Father Love us that we are called the Sons of God. If
we have this hope we purify ourself. He that sins is of the devil.
The message from the beginning has been to love one another. If you
hate your brother -- you are a murderer. Do not love just in word,
but in deed and truth.
* 4 * Do not believe every spirit, but try them. God is Love. IF we love
one another, God dwells in us. How can we love God and hate our
brother?
* 5 * The love of God is to keep his commandments. I have written to you
that believe that ye may know ye have eternal life and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of God.
The New Testament Book of 2 John
Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ,
hath not God...
2 John 9 KJV
To the elect Lady. Love one another. Walk after his commandments.
If you don't abide in the doctrine you do not have God. Do not
receive anyone who does not bring this doctrine for ye become a
partaker of their evil deeds.
The New Testament Book of 3 John
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good...
3 John 11 KJV
To the well beloved Gaius. I wish above all things that you may
prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Brother thou doest
faithfully to the brethren and to strangers. Diotrephes loves the
pre-eminence and did not receive us. If I come I will remember his deeds
and words. Follow not evil but Good.
The New Testament Book of Jude
... it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that
ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints.
Jude 3 KJV
Contend for the faith that was once delivered to the Saints. Remember
how God destroyed those that believed not -- after saving them from
Egypt; the angels who are chained for not keeping their first
estate; Sodom & Gomorrah was set for an example. Godless men who
defile the flesh, speak evil of things they don't understand,
and murmur and complain -- have slipped in among you. Keep yourself
in the love of God.
