講章 
聖經 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
2 1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Sermon Notes
12 I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 : 1 起初， 神創造天地。
1 : 2 地是空虛混沌，深淵上面一片黑暗； 神的靈 運行在水面上。
1 : 3 神說：「要有光」，就有了光。
1 : 4 神看光是好的，於是 神就把光和暗分開。
1 : 5 神稱光為「晝」，稱暗為「夜」。有晚上，有早晨，這是第一日。
1 : 6 神說：「眾水之間要有穹蒼，把水和水分開。」
1 : 7 神就造了穹蒼，把穹蒼以下的水和穹蒼以上的水分開。事就這樣成了。
1 : 8 神稱穹蒼為「天」。有晚上，有早晨，這是第二日。
1 : 9 神說：「天下面的水要聚集在一處，使乾地露出來。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 10 神稱乾地為「地」，稱聚集在一起的水為「海」。 神看為好的。
1 : 11 神說：「地要長出植物，就是含種子的五穀菜蔬，和會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，在地上各從其類。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 12 於是地長出了植物：含種子的五穀菜蔬，各從其類；會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 13 有晚上，有早晨，這是第三日。
1 : 14 神說：「天上要有光體來分晝夜，讓它們作記號，定季節、日子、年份，
1 : 15 它們要在天空發光，照在地上。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 16 於是 神造了兩個大光體，大的管晝，小的管夜，又造了星辰。
1 : 17 神把這些光體擺列在天空，照在地上，
1 : 18 管理晝夜，分別光暗。 神看為好的。
1 : 19 有晚上，有早晨，這是第四日。
1 : 20 神說：「水要滋生眾多有生命之物；要有鳥飛在地面以上，天空之中。」
1 : 21 神就創造了大魚和在水裏滋生的各樣活動的生物，各從其類，以及各樣有翅膀的鳥，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 22 神就賜福給這一切，說：「要繁殖增多，充滿在海的水裏；飛鳥也要在地上增多。」
1 : 23 有晚上，有早晨，這是第五日。
1 : 24 神說：「地要生出有生命之物，各從其類，就是牲畜、爬行動物、地上的走獸，各從其類。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 25 於是 神造了地上的走獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；和地上一切的爬行動物，各從其類。 神看為好的。
1 : 26 神說：「我們要照着我們的形像，按着我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裏的魚、天空的鳥、地上的牲畜和全地，以及地上爬的一切爬行動物。」
1 : 27 神就照着他的形像創造人，照着 神的形像創造他們；他創造了他們，有男有女。
1 : 28 神賜福給他們， 神對他們說：「要生養眾多，遍滿這地，治理它；要管理海裏的魚、天空的鳥和地上各樣活動的生物。」
1 : 29 神說：「看哪，我把全地一切含種子的五穀菜蔬和一切會結果子、果子裏有種子的樹，都賜給你們；這些都可作食物。
1 : 30 至於地上一切的走獸、天空一切的飛鳥，並一切在地上爬行的，有生命的動物，我把綠色植物賜給牠們作食物。」事就這樣成了。
1 : 31 神看一切所造的，看哪，都非常好。有晚上，有早晨，這是第六日。
