Bible Reading for December 22
1 John 1
[1] That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen
with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the
Word of life;
[2] (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and
shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested
unto us;)
[3] That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may
have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with
his Son Jesus Christ.
[4] And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. [5] This
then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God
is light, and in him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
[7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one
with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth 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.
1 John 2
[1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if
any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
[2] And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also
for the sins of the whole world.
[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4]
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and
the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he
walked.
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment
which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have
heard from the beginning.
[8] Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and
in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. [9] He
that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even
until now.
[10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none
occasion of stumbling in him.
[11] But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness,
and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
[12] I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for
his name's sake.
[13] I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the
beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked
one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. [14]
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the
beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the
word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in
the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. [17] And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
[18] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know
that it is the last time.
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of
us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they
might be made manifest that they were not all of us. [20] But ye have an
unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. [21] I have not written
unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no
lie is of the truth. [22] Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the
Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. [23] Whosoever
denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the
Son hath the Father also. [24] Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have
heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall
remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. [25] And
this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. [26] These
things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. [27] But the
anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that
any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and
is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
[28] And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we
may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. [29] If ye
know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is
born of him.
