1 John 5

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him.

Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth 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.

Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

For, this is the love of God—that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;

4 because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

Because, whatsoever hath been born of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world—our faith.

5 Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

[And] who is he that overcometh the world, save he that believeth that, Jesus, is the Son of God?

6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.

This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, —and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.

7 For there are three that testify:

Because, three, are they who are bearing witness—

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.

The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, [witnesses], unto one thing.

9 Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.

If, the witness of men, we receive, the witness of God, is, greater. Because, this, is the witness of God—in that he hath borne witness concerning his Son, —

10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him, —because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son—

11 And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)

And, this, is the witness: —that, life age-abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son: (aiōnios g166)

12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

He that hath the Son, hath, the life, —he that hath not the Son of God, hath not, the life.

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

These things, have I written unto you—in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age-abiding—unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

14 And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

And, this, is the boldness which we have towards him: that, if, anything, we ask, according to his will, He doth hearken unto us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.

And, if we know that he doth hearken unto us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the things asked, which we have asked of him,

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.

If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life, —for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.

17 All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.

All unrighteousness, is, sin, and there, is, a sin, not unto death.

18 We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.

We know that, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin, —Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.

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

We know that, of God, are we; and, the whole world, in the wicked one, is lying.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real, —and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.
