1:4	4 And we writen this thing to you, that ye haue ioye, and that youre ioye be ful.	4 And this write we unto you, that our joy may be full.	4 And this write we vnto you that oure ioye maye be full.	4 And this wryte we vnto you, that youre ioye maye be full.	4 And these thinges write we vnto you, that that your ioy may be full.	4 And this write we vnto you, that your ioy may be full,	4 And these things write we vnto you, that your ioy may be full.
1:5	5 And this is the tellyng, that we herden of hym, and tellen to you, that God is liyt, and ther ben no derknessis in him.	5 ¶ And this is the tidings which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.	5 And this is the tydynges which we have hearde of him and declare vnto you that god is lyght and in him is no darknes at all	5 And this is the tydinges which we haue herde of him, & declare vnto you, that God is lighte, and in him is no darknes at all.	5 This then is the message which wee haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenes.	5 And this is the tydynges whiche we haue hearde of hym & declare vnto you, that God is lyght, & in hym is no darkenesse at all.	5 This then is the message which we haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenesse at all.
1:6	6 If we seien, that we han felawschip with hym, and we wandren in derknessis, we lien, and don not treuthe.	6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and yet walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:	6 yf we saye that we have fellishippe with him and yet walke in darknes we lye and do not the truth:	6 Yf we saye that we haue fellishippe with him, and yet walke in darknes, we lye, and do not the trueth.	6 If wee say that wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not truely:	6 If we saye that we haue felowship with hym, and walke in darkenesse, we lye, and do not the trueth.	6 If we say that we haue felowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not the trueth.
1:7	7 But if we walken in liyt, as also he is in liyt, we han felawschip togidere; and the blood of Jhesu Crist, his sone, clensith vs fro al synne.	7 but and if we walk in light even as he is in light, then have we fellowship with him, and the blood of Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin.	7 but and yf we walke in (lyght) even as he is in lyght then have we fellishippe with him and the bloud of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.	7 But yf we walke in lighte, euen as he is in lighte, then haue we fellishippe together, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.	7 But if we walke in the light as he is in the light, we haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.	7 But and yf we walke in light, euen as he is in lyght, then haue we felowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.	7 But if wee walke in the light, as he is in the light, wee haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.
1:8	8 If we seien, that we han no synne, we disseyuen vs silf, and treuthe is not in vs.	8 ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and truth is not in us.	8 Yf we saye that we have no synne we deceave oure selves and trueth is not in vs.	8 Yf we saye that we haue no synne, we disceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs.	8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and trueth is not in vs.	8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceaue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs.	8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs.
1:9	9 If we knowlechen oure synnes, he is feithful and iust, that he foryyue to vs oure synnes, and clense vs from al wickidnesse.	9 If we knowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.	9 Yf we knowledge oure synnes he is faythfull and iust to forgeve vs oure synnes and to clense vs from all vnrightewesnes.	9 But yf we knowlege oure synnes, he is faithfull and iust to forgeue vs oure synnes, & to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.	9 If we acknowledge our sinnes, he is faithfull and iust, to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.	9 If we knowledge our sinnes, he is faythfull & iust to forgeue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnryghteousnesse.	9 If we confesse our sinnes, hee is faithfull, & iust to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to cleanse vs from all vnrighteousnesse.
1:10	10 And if we seien, we han not synned, we maken hym a liere, and his word is not in vs.	10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.	10 Yf we saye we have not sinned we make him a lyar and his worde is not in vs.	10 Yf we saye, we haue not synned, we make him a lyar, and his worde is not in vs.	10 If wee say we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.	10 If we say we haue not sinned, we make hym a lyer, and his worde is not in vs.	10 If we say that we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.

And if any man sinne, we haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ the righteous:
2:2	2 Jhesu Crist, and he is the foryyuenes for oure synnes; and not oneli for oure synnes, but also for the synnes of al the world.	2 and he it is that obtaineth grace for our sins: not for our sins only: but also for the sins of all the world.	2 and he it is that obteyneth grace for oure synnes: not for oure synnes only: but also for the synnes of all the worlde.	2 and he it is that optayneth grace for oure synnes: not for oure synnes onely, but also for the synnes of all the worlde.	2 And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world.	2 And he is ye attonement for our sinnes: not for our sinnes only, but also for the sinnes of all the worlde.	2 And he is the propitiation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world.
2:3	3 And in this thing we witen, that we knowen hym, if we kepen hise comaundementis.	3 And hereby we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.	3 And herby we are sure that we knowe him yf we kepe his comaundementes.	3 And hereby are we sure that we knowe him, yf we kepe his comaundemetes.	3 And hereby we are sure that we knowe him, if we keepe his commandements.	3 And hereby we are sure that we knowe hym, yf we kepe his comaundementes.	3 And hereby wee doe knowe that we know him, if we keepe his commandements.
2:4	4 He that seith that he knowith God, and kepith not hise comaundementis, is a liere, and trewthe is not in hym.	4 He that saith i know him, and keepeth not his commandments is a liar, and the verity is not in him.	4 He that sayth I knowe him and kepeth not his commaundementes is a lyar and the veritie is not in him.	4 He that sayeth: I knowe him, and kepeth not his comaundemetes, is a lyar, and the trueth is not in him,	4 Hee that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a liar, and the trueth is not in him.	4 He that sayth I knowe hym, and kepeth not his commaundementes, is a lyer, and the veritie is not in hym:	4 He that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a lyer, and the trueth is not in him.
2:5	5 But the charite of God is perfit verili in hym, that kepith his word. In this thing we witen, that we ben in hym, if we ben perfit in hym.	5 Whosoever keepeth his word, in him is the love of God perfect in deed. And thereby know we that we are in him.	5 Whosoever kepeth his (worde) in him is the love of god parfect in dede. And therby knowe we that we are in him.	5 But who so kepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfecte in dede. Hereby knowe we, that we are in him.	5 But hee that keepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede: hereby wee knowe that ye are in him.	5 But who so kepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede. Hereby knowe we that we are in hym.	5 But who so keepeth his word, in him verely is the loue of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

2:15	15 Nyle ye loue the world, ne tho thingis that ben in the world. If ony man loueth the world, the charite of the fader is not in hym.	15 ¶ See that ye 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.	15 Se that ye love not the worlde nether the thynges that are in the worlde. Yf eny man love the worlde the love of the father is not in him.	15 Se that ye loue not the worlde, nether ye thinges that are in the worlde. Yf eny man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in him:	15 Loue not this world, neither the things that are in this world. If any man loue this world, the loue of the Father is not in him.	15 See that ye loue not the worlde, neither the thynges that are in the worlde. If any man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in hym.	15 Loue not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loue the world, the loue of the Father is not in him.
2:16	16 For al thing that is in the world, is coueitise of fleisch, and coueitise of iyen, and pride of lijf, which is not of the fadir, but it is of the world.	16 For all that is in the world (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of goods) is not of the father: but of the world.	16 For all that is in ye worlde (as the lust of the flesshe the lust of the eyes and ye pryde of gooddes) is not of the father: but of ye worlde	16 for all that is in the worlde (namely the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pryde of life) is not of the father, but of the worlde.	16 For all that is in this world (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of this world.	16 For all that is in the worlde, as the lust of the fleshe, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of the worlde.	16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
2:17	17 And the world schal passe, and the coueitise of it; but he that doith the wille of God, dwellith with outen ende.	17 And the world vanisheth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth ever.	17 And the worlde vannyssheth awaye and the lust therof: but he that fulfilleth the will of god abydeth ever.	17 And the worlde passeth awaye and the lust therof. But he that fulfylleth the wyll of God, abydeth for euer.	17 And this world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth euer.	17 And the worlde passeth away, and the luste thereof: but he that fulfylleth the wyll of God, abydeth for euer.	17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof, but hee that doeth the will of God, abideth for euer.

2:19	19 Thei wenten forth fro vs, but thei weren not of vs; for if thei hadden be of vs, thei hadden dwelte with vs; but that thei be knowun, that thei ben not of vs.	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 that fortuned that it might appear, that they were not of us.	19 They went oute from vs but they were not of vs. For yf they had bene of vs they wolde no dout have continued with vs. But that fortuned that yt myght appere that they were not of vs.	19 They wente out fro vs, but they were not of vs: for yf they had bene of vs, they wolde no doute haue contynued with vs. But that they maye be knowne, how that they are not all of vs.	19 They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: for if they had bene of vs, they should haue continued with vs. But this cometh to passe, that it might appeare, that they are not all of vs.	19 They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: For yf they had ben of vs, they woulde no doubt haue continued with vs: But that it myght appeare that they were not of vs.	19 They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: for if they had beene of vs, they would no doubt haue continued with vs: but they went out that they might be made manifest, that they were not all of vs.
2:20	20 But ye han anointyng of the Hooli Goost, and knowen alle thingis.	20 ¶ And ye have an ointment of the holy ghost, and ye know all things.	20 And ye have an oyntment of ye holy gost and ye knowe all thynges.	20 But ye haue the anoyntinge of him yt is holy, & ye knowe all thiges.	20 But ye haue an ointment from that Holy one, and know all things.	20 Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of hym that is holy, and ye knowe all thynges.	20 But ye haue an vnction from the holy One, and ye know all things.
2:21	21 Y wroot not to you, as to men that knowen not treuthe, but as to men that knowen it, and for ech leesing is not of treuthe.	21 i wrote not unto you, as though ye knew not the truth: but as though ye knew it, and know also that no lie cometh of truth.	21 I wrote not vnto you as though ye knewe not the trueth: but as though ye knewe it and knowe also that no lye commeth of trueth.	21 I haue not wrytte vnto you, as though ye knewe not ye trueth but ye knowe it, & are sure, yt no lye cometh of ye trueth.	21 I haue not written vnto you, because ye knowe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lie is of the trueth.	21 I haue not written vnto you, as though ye knewe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lye is of the trueth.	21 I haue not written vnto you, because yee know not the trueth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the trueth.
2:22	22 Who is a liere, but this that denyeth that Jhesu is not Crist? This is antecrist, that denyeth the fadir, and the sone.	22 Who is a liar: but he that denieth that Iesus is Christ? he is the Antichrist that denieth the father and the son.	22 Who is a lyar: but he that denyeth that Iesus is Christ? The same is the Antichrist that denyeth the father and the sonne.	22 Who is a lyar, but he yt denyeth yt Iesus is Christ? The same is ye Antichrist, yt denyeth the father & ye sonne.	22 Who is a liar, but he that denyeth that Iesus is that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denyeth the Father and the Sonne.	22 Who is a lyer, but he that denieth that Iesus is Christe? The same is antichrist that denyeth the father and the sonne.	22 Who is a lier, but hee that denieth that Iesus is the Christ? hee is Antichrist, that denyeth the Father, and the Sonne.
2:23	23 So ech that denyeth the sone, hath not the fadir; but he that knowlechith the sone, hath also the fadir.	23 Whosoever denieth the son, the same hath not the father.	23 Whosoever denyeth the sonne the same hath not the father.	23 Whosoeuer denyeth the sonne, the same hath not the father.	23 Whosoeuer denyeth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father.	23 Whosoeuer denyeth the sonne, the same hath not the father [But he that knowledgeth the sonne, hath the father also.]	23 Whosoeuer denieth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Sonne, hath the Father also.

If that which ye heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the son, and in the father.	24 Let therfore abyde in you that same which ye hearde from the begynnynge. Yf that which ye hearde from ye begynnynge shall remayne in you ye also shall continewe in the sonne and in the father	24 Loke what ye haue herde now from ye begynnynge, let the same abyde in you. Yf yt which he herde from the begynnynge shal remayne in you, then shal ye also abyde in ye sonne and in the father.	24 Let therefore abide in you that same which ye haue heard from the beginning. If that which ye haue heard from the beginning, shall remaine in you, ye also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father.	24 Let therfore abyde in you, that same whiche ye hearde from the begynnyng.

4:18	18 Drede is not in charite, but perfit charite puttith out drede; for drede hath peyne. But he that dredith, is not perfit in charite.	18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out all fear, for fear hath painfulness. He that feareth is not perfect in love.	18 Ther is no feare in love but parfect love casteth out all feare for feare hath paynfulnes. He yt feareth is not parfect in love.	18 Feare is not in loue, but perfecte loue casteth out feare: for feare hath paynefulnes.

4:20	20 If ony man seith, that `Y loue God, and hatith his brother, he is a liere. For he that loueth not his brothir, which he seeth, hou mai he loue God, whom he seeth not?	20 If a man say, i love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a liar. How can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen?	20 Yf a man saye I love god and yet hate his brother he is a lyar. For how can he yt loveth not his brother whom he hath sene love god whom he hath not sene?	20 Yf eny man saye: I loue God, & yet hateth his brother, he is a lyar. For he that loueth not his brother whom he seyth, how can he loue God, whom he seyth not?	20 If any man say, I loue God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God whom he hath not seene?	20 If a man say, I loue God, & yet hate his brother, he is a lyer: For how can he yt loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God who he hath not seene?	20 If a man say, I loue God, and hateth his brother, he is a lyar. For hee that loueth not his brother whom hee hath seene, how can he loue God whom he hath not seene?

5:3	3 For this is the charite of God, that we kepe hise maundementis; and his maundementis ben not heuy.	3 This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.	3 This is ye love of god yt we kepe his comaundemetes and his comaundementes are not greveous	3 For this is the loue of God, that we kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundemetes are not greuous.	3 For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements: and his commandements are not burdenous.	3 For this is the loue of God, that we kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundementes are not greeuous.	3 For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements, and his commandements are not grieuous.
5:4	4 For al thing that is borun of God, ouercometh the world; and this is the victorie that ouercometh the world, oure feith.	4 For all that is born of God, overcometh the world.	4 For all that is borne of god over commeth the worlde.
