¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?

¹² God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

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;

⁹ he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;

¹¹ and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

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

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,
