1 John 1 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ 0 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

² My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

³ And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

⁴ And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.

⁵ He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁶ But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.

⁷ He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.

⁸ Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.

⁹ Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.

¹⁰ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
