18Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist comes, even now there are become many Antichrists: by which we know that it is the last hour.

19They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be clear, that they are not all of us.

20But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.

21I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth.

1A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing you to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing you to the Lord and bless his name: show forth his salvation from day to day.

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

12the fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

13before the face of the Lord, because he comes: because he comes to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God.

3All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.

4In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7This man came for a witness, to give teaching of the light, that all men might believe through him.

8He was not the light, but was to give teaching of the light.

9That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that comes into this world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11He came to his own, and his own received him not.

12But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.

13Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15John beareth witness of him, and cries out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: The one who will come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.

16And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.

17For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18No man has seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he has told him.
