1 John 5

1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.

Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Meshikha is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

2 In 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 the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

4 For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

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

6 This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.

This is he who came by water and blood, Yeshua Meshikha; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Rukha who testifies, because the Rukha is the truth.

7 And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.

For there are three who testify:

8 And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.

the Rukha, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.

If we accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified concerning his Son.

10 He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.

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.

11 And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

12 He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.

He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.

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

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

14 And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

15 And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.

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.

16 He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.

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 a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should make a request concerning this.

17 All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.

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

18 We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.

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

20 And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Yeshua Meshikha. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
