CAP. III.
1 See &yogh;e what maner charite the fadir &yogh;af
to us, that we be named the sones of God,
and be. For this thing the world knew
not us, for it knew not him.
2 Moost dere,
now we ben the sones of God, and &yogh;it it
apperide not, what we shulen be. We
witen, for whan he shal appere, we shulen
be lijk to him, for we shulen see him as
he is.
3 And ech man that hath this hope
in him, makith him silf holy, as and he is
holy.
4 Ech man that doith synne, doith
and wickidnesse, and synne is wickidnesse.
5 And &yogh;e witen, for he apperide that he
shulde do awey synnes, and synne is not
in him.
6 Ech man that dwellith in him,
synneth not; and ech that synneth, seeth
not him, ne knew him. Litel sones, no
man deceyue &yogh;ou; he that doith ri&yogh;twisnesse,
is iust, as and he is iust.
8 He that
`doith synne, is of the deuel; for the
deuel synneth at the bigynnynge. In
-- --
this thing the sone of God apperide, that
he vndo the werkes of the deuel.
9 Ech
man that is born of God, doith not synne;
for the seed of God dwellith in him, and
he mai not synne, for he is born of God.
10 In this thing the sones of God ben knowun,
and the sones of the fend. Ech man
that is not iust, is not of God, and he that
loueth not his brother.
11 For this is the tellyng,
that &yogh;e herden at the bigynnyng, that
&yogh;e loue ech other;
12 not as Caym, that was
of the yuel, and slow his brother. And
for what thing slew he him? for his
werkes weren yuele, sotheli his brotheris
iust.
13 Britheren, nyle &yogh;e wondre, if the
world haatith &yogh;ou.
14 We witen, for we
ben translatid fro deeth to lijf, for we loue
britheren. He that loueth not, dwellith in
deeth.
15 Ech man that haatith his brother,
is a manqueller; and &yogh;e witen, for ech
manqueller hath not euerlasting lijf dwellinge
in him.
16 In this thing we han knowe
the charite of God, for he puttide his
soule, `or lijf, for vs, and we owen for
to putte oure soules for britheren.
17 He
that `shal haue the substaunse of this
world, and `shal see his brother for to
haue nede, and `shal close his entrayles
fro him, hou dwellith the charite of God
in him?
18 Mi litel sones, loue we not in
word, nether in tunge, but in werk and
treuthe.
19 In this thing we knowen, for
we ben of treuthe, and in his si&yogh;t we
monesten oure hertes.
20 For if oure herte
shal reproue us, `or vndernyme, God
is more than oure herte, and knew alle
thinges.
21 Moost dere, if oure herte `shal
not reproue us, we han trist to God;
22 and
what euer we shulen axe, we shulen receyue
of him, for we kepen his comaundementes,
and we don tho thinges, that ben
-- --
plesaunt bifore him.
23 And this is the
comaundement of him, that we bileue in
the name of his sone Jhesu Crist, and
loue ech other, as he &yogh;af heest to vs.
24 And
he that kepith his maundementes, dwellith
in him, and he in him. And in this thing
we witen, for he dwellith in us, of the
spirit, whom he &yogh;af to us.
