1 John 5

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten by God; also, whoever loves the Begetter should love the one begotten by Him as well.

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.

2 In this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments.

In 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; His commandments are not burdensome,

For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.

4 in that whatever has been begotten by God overcomes the world; this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

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

5 Who is he who overcomes the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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

6 This is He who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth;

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.

7 actually there are three who bear witness

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

8 —the Spirit, the water and the blood—and the three are to one effect.

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

9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which He has testified concerning His Son.

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.

10 He who believes into the Son of God has the witness within himself; he who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son.

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.

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

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

12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

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

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

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)

14 Now this is the confidence that we have toward Him: if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

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

15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.

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

16 If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, let him ask, and He will give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is sin leading to death; I am not saying that he should make request about that.

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.

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

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

18 We know that whoever has been begotten by God does not sin; rather the one who was begotten by God preserves himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

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

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

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

20 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 genuine God, and the Life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

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)

21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
