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.

Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him.

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

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

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 keep his commandments; and his commandments 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 whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.

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

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 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 is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7 For there are three who testify:

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

For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in 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 witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God, that he hath borne witness 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 that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne 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 witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, 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 that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the 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.

These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye who believe in the name of the Son of God have everlasting life. (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 confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth 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 know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked of 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 any one see his brother sin a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and shall give him life, —to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; for that I do not say that he shall pray.

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

All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not unto 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 know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not.

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

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the dominion 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.

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

My children, keep yourselves from idols.
