Chapter Summaries of 1 John

1 We have seen and proclaim to you the Word of life. God is light. If we walk in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.

2 We know Christ if we keep his commands. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light. Do not love the world. Children, abide in him.

3 We are God's children. Those born of God do not sin. We should love one another. We know love because he laid down his life for us.

4 Any spirit that confesses Christ is of God. God is love. He sent his Son as a sacrifice for sins. If we live in love, God lives in us.

5 Anyone born of God overcomes the world. The Spirit, water and blood all testify. God gave us eternal life in his Son. Keep from idols.
