¶ The .iii. Chapter. ¶ The synguler loue of God toward vs: and how we agayne ought to loue one a nother.

A   Beholde, what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shuld be called note (∧ be in dede) þe; þe; sonnes of God. For this cause þe; worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym. Dearely beloued, now are we þe; sonnes of God ∧ yet it doth not appeare, what we shalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appeare, we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se hym as he is. And euery m&abar; that hath this hope in him, pourgeth him selfe, eu&ebar; as he also is pure. Whosoeuer commytteth synne, committeth vnryghteousnes also, and synne is vnryghteousnes. And ye knowe, that he appeared, to take awaye oure synnes, and in him is no synne. As many as byde in hym, synne not: whosoeuer synneth, hath not sene hym, nether knowne hym.

B   Babes, let no man deceaue you. He that doeth ryghteousnes, is ryghteous, euen as he is ryghteous. He that c&obar;mitteth synne, is of the deuyll: note for the deuyll synneth sence the beginnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the worckes of þe; deuyl. Whosoeuer is borne of God, synneth not: for his seed remayneth in him, and he c&abar;not synne, because he is borne of God. In thys are the chyldren of God knowen, and the chyldren of the deuyll. Whosoeuer doeth not ryghteousnes, is not of God, nether he that loueth not hys brother.

C   For this is the tidinges, that ye hearde from the beginninge, that ye shuld loue one another, not as note Cayn which was of that wicked, and slewe his brother. And wherfore slewe he hym? Because his awne workes were euyll, and hys brothers good. &cross2; Maruayle not my brethr&ebar; though þe; world hate you. We knowe, that we are tr&abar;slated from deeth vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. noteHe that loueth not hys brother, abydeth &ibar; deeth. Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a m&abar; slear. And ye knowe, þt; no man slear, hath eternall lyfe abydynge in hym.

Herby perceaue we loue: because he gaue his lyfe for vs: ∧ we ought to geue oure liues for the brethren. But whoso hath thys worldes good and note seyth hys brother haue neade: and shutteth vp his c&obar;passion from him: how dwelleth the loue of God in hym? My babes, let vs not loue in worde, nether in tonge: but in dede ∧ in veritie. &cross3; Herby we knowe, that we are of the veritie ∧ can quyet oure hertes before hym. For yf oure herte cond&ebar;pne vs, God is gretter th&ebar; oure herte, and knoweth all thinges. Dearly beloued, yf oure herte condempne vs not, D   then haue we trust to God warde: ∧ note what soeuer we aske we receaue of hym, because we kepe his c&obar;maundementes, ∧ do those thinges which are pleasinge in his syght.

And note this is hys c&obar;maundement, þt; we beleue on the name of his sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as he gaue c&obar;maundement. And he that kepeth hys commaundementes, dwelleth in him, ∧ he in him, and herby we knowe that he abydeth in vs, eu&ebar; by the sprete which he hath geuen vs.
