< 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.
Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father, loves him also who is the Father’s Child.
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 obey his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
For love to God means obeying his commandments; and his commandments are not irksome.
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 whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.
5 Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
And who it the one that is overcoming the world if not the man who 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.
Jesus Christ is he who came by water and blood, not by the water only, but by the water and by the blood. The spirit is he who bears testimony, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For they that bear witness are three:
For there are three who bear testimony, the Spirit, and the water,
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.
and the blood; and the three are 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 accept men’s testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God, that he has borne testimony 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 who believes on 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 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 the testimony is this, "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 who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the 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 words to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in 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.
Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.
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 is listening to us in what ever we are asking, we know that we obtain the petitions which we have made to 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 sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he shall ask, and God will give him life, for any one who is not committing a deadly sin. There is a deadly sin; concerning that I do not say that he should pray.
17 Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.
All unrighteousness is sin; and there is sin that is not deadly.
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 is a child of God is not habitually committing sin; but he who is God’s child guards himself, and the Evil One never touches him.
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 is lying in the Evil 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 is come, and has granted us and understanding, so that we may come to know him who is true. And we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
21 Children, keep yourselves from idols.
My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
