The First Epistle of John, presented in a bold and faithful Sword of God translation.

This reading follows the textual tradition used by Martin Luther and omits the Johannine Comma, remaining faithful to the Reformation-era Greek text. The tone is sharp, confessional, and uncompromising — just as John himself writes.

In this Epistle:

• Christ is declared the Advocate and Propitiation

• Faith conquers the world

• Love proves the new birth

• The Antichrist is exposed

• False assurance is shattered

• Eternal life is made certain

John writes so that believers may know they have eternal life in the Son of God. This episode is a full, continuous reading without verse numbers, designed for meditation, proclamation, and spiritual sharpening.
