He 62:002:023 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he 62:002:024 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the 62:002:025 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal 62:002:026 These things have I written unto you concerning them that 62:002:027 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in 62:002:028 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall 62:002:029 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that 62:003:001 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, 62:003:002 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet 62:003:003 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, 62:003:004 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin 62:003:005 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and 62:003:006 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath 62:003:007 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth 62:003:008 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 62:003:009 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed 62:003:010 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of 62:003:011 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that 62:003:012 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. 62:003:013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 62:003:014 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we 62:003:015 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that 62:003:016 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his 62:003:017 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have 62:003:018 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in 62:003:019 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure 62:003:020 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, 62:003:021 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence 62:003:022 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his 62:003:023 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the 62:003:024 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he 62:004:001 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether 62:004:002 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth 62:004:003 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come 62:004:004 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: 62:004:005 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and 62:004:006 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not 62:004:007 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and 62:004:008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 62:004:009 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that 62:004:010 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, 62:004:011 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one 62:004:012 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God 62:004:013 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he 62:004:014 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son 62:004:015 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God 62:004:016 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. 62:004:017 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in 62:004:018 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: 62:004:019 We love him, because he first loved us. 62:004:020 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a 62:004:021 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God 62:005:001 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: 62:005:002 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love 62:005:003 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: 62:005:004 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this 62:005:005 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 62:005:006 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; 62:005:007 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, 62:005:008 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, 62:005:009 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is 62:005:010 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in 62:005:011 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal 62:005:012 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son 62:005:013 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name 62:005:014 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we 62:005:015 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know 62:005:016 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, 62:005:017 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 62:005:018 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that 62:005:019 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in 62:005:020 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an 62:005:021 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg
These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03
Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
