riot in the
daytime. Spots they are and
blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

condemn us, we have
confidence before God,

confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

propitiation for our sins.

consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the
atoning sacrifice for our sins.

confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a

deceiver and the
antichrist.

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth,
prating against us with
malicious words: and not
content therewith, neither
doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
So if I come, I will call attention to his
malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to
welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.

exhort you that ye should earnestly
contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

For there are certain men
crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this
condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never
blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will
confess his name before My Father and His angels.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
