1 John 5

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

Everyone who is believing that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God, and everyone who is loving Him who begot, also loves him who is begotten of Him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God and may keep His commands;

3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

for this is the love of God, that we may keep His commands, and His commands are not burdensome;

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

because everyone who is begotten of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcame the world—our faith.

5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

This One is He who came through water and blood—Jesus the Christ, not in water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit is the [One] testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

7 For there are three who testify:

because [there] are three who are testifying [[in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one;

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

and [there] are three who are testifying in the earth]]: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He has testified concerning His Son.

10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

He who is believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son;

11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us consummate (aiōnios g166) life, and this life is in his Son.

and this is the testimony, that God gave continuous life to us, and this life is in His Son; (aiōnios g166)

12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God’s Son does not have the life.

he who is having the Son has life; he who is not having the Son of God does not have life.

13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have consummate (aiōnios g166) life.

I wrote these things to you who are believing in the Name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have continuous life, and that you may believe in the Name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if we may ask anything according to His will, He hears us,

15 And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

and if we have known that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should make a request concerning this.

If anyone may see his brother sinning a sin [that is] not to death, he will ask, and He will give life to him—to those not sinning to death; there is sin to death—I do not say that he may ask concerning it;

17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin [that is] not to death.

18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

We have known that everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, but He who was begotten of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him;

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

we have known that we are of God, and the whole world lies [under the power] of the evil [one];

20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know the true one, and we are in the true one, in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and consummate (aiōnios g166) life.

but we have known that the Son of God has come, and has given us a mind that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this One is the true God and the continuous Life! (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Little children, guard yourselves from idols! Amen.
