1 John 5

1 Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been begotten of God: and every one that loves him that begot, loves him also that is begotten of him.

2 Hereby know we 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 keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and 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 all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

For whatever is begotten of God, overcomes the world; and this is the victorious principle that overcomes the world, even our faith.

5 Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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

6 This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.

This is he that came by water and by blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood: and it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.

7 For they that bear witness are three:

For there are three that testify, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood;

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

and the three agree in one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God, which he has borne concerning his Son.

10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he that believes not God, has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne concerning his Son.

11 And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

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

12 He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.

He that has the Son, has life: he that has not the Son of God, has not life.

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

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

14 And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us.

15 And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

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

16 If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.

If any one see his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say concerning this, that he should ask.

17 Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.

All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.

18 We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.

We know that whoever has been begotten of God, does not sin: but he that is begotten of God, keeps himself, and the wicked one touches him not.

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one].

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the wicked one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true: and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
