John the Apostle

Saint John the Apostle (ca. A.D. 6-100), or John the Beloved, was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He wrote four books of the Holy Bible (the Gospel of John, three epistles (letters), and Revelation) and cared for Mary after Christ's ascension.


And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.

He who says 'I know him' but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth.
