父老乎、我曾書予爾、以爾識自始而有者、少者乎、我曾書予爾、以爾剛健、且上帝之道、恆在爾中、而爾已勝惡者、

萬有由父賜我、父之外無識子者、子及子所欲示者之外、無識父者、

小子乎、爾曹乃由上帝、已勝彼眾、蓋在爾衷者、大於在世者也、

我知凡由上帝而生者不干罪、

萬有由父賜我、父之外無識子者、子及子所欲示者之外、無識父者、

如是因其未識父與我也、

上帝曰、因其愛予、我必救援之、彼知我名、我必高舉之兮、

我若守其誡、則自知識之也、人自謂識之、而不守其誡則為誑、真理不在彼衷矣、

能力為少者之榮、皓首為老人之美、

我小子乎、我書此遺爾、免爾干罪、人若干罪、則我儕於父前有代言者、即義者耶穌基督也、

幼男少女、耆老孩提、

使皆為一、如父在我中、我在父中、使彼亦在我儕中、令世信爾遣我也、

眾曰、爾父安在、耶穌曰、爾不識我、亦不識我父、若識我、亦必識我父矣、

凡聞天國之道而不悟、惡者至、奪其心之所播、此播於道旁者也、

耶穌曰、我若自榮、我榮則無矣、榮我者乃我父、即爾所言爾之上帝也、爾未嘗識之、而我識之、若云不識、則誑如爾矣、惟我識之、而守其道、
