我書遺父老、因爾識元始之主、我書遺少者、因爾剛健、上帝之道存於爾衷、而勝惡敵、

萬物由父賜我、父之外、無識子、子及子所樂示者之外、亦無識父也、○

小子乎、爾由上帝出、與爾心交者、較與世心交者尤大、故爾能勝之、

出自上帝者、吾知其不犯罪、既自上帝出、則自慎防閑、惡敵不足以害之、

萬物由父賜我、父外無識子、子及子所樂示者之外、無識父、

其行是、不識父與我故也、

上帝曰、彼愛余、我拯救之、彼崇余、我振興之兮、

我守其誡、則我識主、我自知之、人言識主、而不守誡、則妄人也已矣、真於何有、

少者以壯健為榮、老者以皓首為尊。

我書達小子、使爾不陷罪、人若陷罪、則於父前、有保惠師、義人耶穌基督、

幼男稚女、耆老孩提、

使眾為一、如父在我、我在父、欲眾在父與我為一、則世人信爾遣我、

僉曰、爾父安在、耶穌曰、我與父、爾皆不識、識我即識父、

凡聞天國之道而不悟、惡鬼至、奪其心之所播、此播於道傍者也、

耶穌曰、我若自榮、則不得為榮、榮我者父、即爾所稱爾之上帝、爾不識之我識之、若我言不識、則誑如爾、惟我識之、而守其道、
