"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 1 John" by Richard Francis Weymouth has as its main themes the love and fellowship with God all Christians should have. he author describes various tests by which readers may ascertain whether or not their communion with God is genuine, and teaches that the proof of spiritual regeneration is a life of active righteousness. By doing this, readers are able to distinguish between the world of sin and evil and the children of God who are set apart from the rest.
