⁶ He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

²¹ for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

¹⁵ `For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

¹ Followers of me become ye, as I also `am' of Christ.

⁴ remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

⁵ `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

⁴ he who is saying, `I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;

²⁸ And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

⁶ every one who is remaining in him doth not sin; every one who is sinning, hath not seen him, nor known him.

⁶ if we may say -- `we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth;

⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

¹³ Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
