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.

Ech man that bileueth that Jhesus is Crist, is borun of God; and ech man that loueth hym that gendride, loueth hym that is borun of hym.

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

In this thing we knowen, that we louen the children of God, whanne we louen God, and don his maundementis.

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

For this is the charite of God, that we kepe hise maundementis; and his maundementis ben not heuy.

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

For al thing that is borun of God, ouercometh the world; and this is the victorie that ouercometh the world, oure feith.

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

And who is he that ouercometh the world, but he that bileueth that Jhesus is the sone 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 Jhesus Crist, that cam bi watir and blood; not in water oonli, but in watir and blood. And the spirit is he that witnessith, that Crist is treuthe.

7 For there are three that testify:

For thre ben, that yyuen witnessing in heuene, the Fadir, the Sone, and the Hooli Goost; and these thre ben oon.

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

`And thre ben, that yyuen witnessing in erthe, the spirit, water, and blood; and these thre ben oon.

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 we resseyuen the witnessing of men, the witnessing of God is more; for this is the witnessing of God, that is more, for he witnesside of his sone.

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 bileueth in the sone of God, hath the witnessing of God in hym. He that bileueth not to the sone, makith hym a liere; for he bileueth not in the witnessing, that God witnesside of his sone.

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 witnessyng, for God yaf to you euerlastinge lijf, and this lijf is in his sone. (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 sone of God, hath also lijf; he that hath not the sone of God, hath not lijf.

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)

I write to you these thingis, that ye wite, that ye han euerlastynge lijf, which bileuen in the name of Goddis sone. (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 trist which we han to God, that what euer thing we axen aftir his wille, he schal here vs.

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 we witen, that he herith vs, what euer thing we axen; we witen, that we han the axyngis, which we axen of hym.

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.

He that woot that his brother synneth a synne not to deth, axe he, and lijf schal be youun to hym that synneth not to deth. Ther is a synne to deth; `not for it Y seie, that ony man preie.

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

Ech wickidnesse is synne, and ther is synne to deth.

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 witen, that ech man that is borun of God, synneth not; but the generacioun of God kepith hym, and the wickid touchith hym not.

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

We witen, that we ben of God, and al the world is set in yuel.

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)

And we witen, that the sone of God cam in fleisch, and yaf to vs wit, that we know veri God, and be in the veri sone of hym. This is veri God, and euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

My litle sones, kepe ye you fro maumetis.
