Darby (See link below) + prepare for Manna and memory.

This week we'll read in the Darby translation. Either read in a physical Darby or with the attachment. We want to notice his paragraph breaks. They are based on hints from the Greek text so this time they're more useful than other times based on logic or someone's outline.

Since this translation is a fresh translation (not based on KJV) we'll read it once without comparing it with any others.

This translation was meant for study and was not built for reading out loud. It is too exact. Darby himself recommended people still read with KJV since it reads so well. But for Bible study his translation is amazing. The RV translation that we just read consulted with Darby's text throughout their own translation. It is commonly marked with the final date of 1890 but his first release was in 1867.

And a note for preparation for next time: Starting in week 10 we'll begin to take up a verse to meditate on, consider, memorize. I'll explain more later, but it would be helpful if we could all make sure we have some 3" x 5" flash cards for this part of our study. It can be done in other ways but it would be nice if we all tried it out this way for our 1 John study while stile coming up with our own styles or methods.
