Tyndale New Testament

1Ye beloved beleve not every sprete: but prove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

2Herby shall ye knowe the sprete of God. Every sprete that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe is of God.

3And every sprete which confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe is not of God. And this is that sprete of Antichrist of whom ye have hearde howe that he shuld come: and even now alredy is he in the worlde.

4Lytell chyldren ye are of God and have overcome them: for greater is he that is in you then he that is in the worlde.

5They are of the worlde and therfore speake they of the worlde and the worlde heareth them.

6We are of God. He that knoweth God heareth vs: he that is not of God heareth vs not. Herby knowe we the sprete of veritie and the sprete of erroure.

7Beloved let vs love one another: for love cometh of God. And every one that loveth is borne of God and knoweth God.

8He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is love.

9In this appered the love of god to vs ward because that god sent his only begotten sonne into the worlde that we myght live thorow him.

10Herin is love not that we loved god but that he loved vs and sent his sonne to make agrement for oure sinnes.

11Beloved yf god so loved vs we ought also to love one another.

12No man hath sene god at enytyme. Yf we love one another god dwelleth in vs and his love is parfect in vs.

13Herby know we that we dwell in him and he in vs: because he hath geven vs of his sprete.

14And we have sene and do testifie that the father sent the sonne which is the saveour of the worlde.

15Whosoever confesseth that Iesus is the sonne of god in him dwelleth god and he in god.

16And we have knowen and beleved the love that god hath to vs. God is love and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in god and god in him.

17Herin is the love perfect in vs that we shuld have trust in the daye of iudgement: For as he is even so are we in this worlde.

18Ther is no feare in love but parfect love casteth out all feare for feare hath paynfulnes. He that feareth is not parfect in love.

19We love him for he loved vs fyrst.

20Yf a man saye I love god and yet hate his brother he is a lyar. For how can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath sene love god whom he hath not sene?

21And this commaundement have we of him: that he which loveth God shuld love his brother also.
