1 John 5
1 Whosoeuer beleeueth that Iesus is that Christ, is borne of God: and euery one that loueth him, which begate, loueth him also which is begotten of him.
凡信耶稣就是基督的人，都是源自上帝；爱父亲的人，也必会爱他的孩子。
2 In this we know that we loue the children of God, when we loue God, and keepe his commandements.
当我们爱上帝，遵守他的命令，就知道我们在爱上帝的孩子。
3 For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements: and his commandements are not burdenous.
我们遵守上帝的命令，就是爱上帝；他的命令遵守起来并不困难，
4 For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth this world: and this is that victorie that hath ouercome this world, euen our faith.
因为源自上帝的人就会战胜这世界。想要获得胜利并战胜这世界，就要相信上帝。
5 Who is it that ouercommeth this world, but he which beleeueth that Iesus is that Sonne of God?
只有那些相信耶稣、坚信他就是上帝之子的人，才能战胜这世界。
6 This is that Iesus Christ that came by water and blood: not by water onely, but by water and blood: and it is that Spirit, that beareth witnesse: for that Spirit is trueth.
那借由水和血而来的，就是耶稣基督。他不只是借由水而来，而是借由水和血而来。灵提供了证据来证实这一点，因为灵就是真理。
7 For there are three, which beare recorde in heauen, the Father, the Worde, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one.
所以这里有三个证据：
8 And there are three, which beare record in the earth, the spirit, and the water and the blood: and these three agree in one.
灵、水和血，这三样都是一致的。
9 If we receiue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the witnesse of God, which he testified of his Sonne.
如果我们都能接受人类证人提供的证据，那么上帝提供的证据就更重要。上帝提供的证据，就是他对其子的见证。
10 He that beleeueth in that Sonne of God, hath the witnes in himselfe: he that beleeueth not God, hath made him a lyar, because he beleeued not ye record, that God witnessed of that his Sonne.
那些信上帝之子的人，已经接受并坚持这样的证据。那些不相信上帝的人，会认为上帝是个骗子，因为他们不相信上帝所提供关于其子的证据。
11 And this is that record, to wit, that God hath giuen vnto vs eternall life, and this life is in that his Sonne. (aiōnios g166)
这证据就是：上帝已将永恒生命赐给我们，我们则借由他的儿子拥有这生命。 (aiōnios g166)
12 He that hath that Sonne, hath that life: and he that hath not that Sonne of God, hath not that life.
有上帝之子便有生命；没有上帝之儿子就没有生命。
13 These things haue I written vnto you, that beleeue in the Name of that Sonne of God, that ye may knowe that ye haue eternall life, and that ye may beleeue in the Name of that Sonne of God. (aiōnios g166)
我写这封信，就是要告诉那些相信上帝儿子之名的人，让你们可以确定自己拥有永恒的生命。 (aiōnios g166)
14 And this is that assurance, that we haue in him, that if we aske any thing according to his will, he heareth vs.
我们可以相信的是：只要我们根据他的意愿提出要求，他会听我们所说的一切。
15 And if we know that he heareth vs, whatsoeuer we aske, we know that we haue the petitions, that we haue desired of him.
如果我们知道他已听到我们的请求，就可以确定会得到所求的一切。
16 If any man see his brother sinne a sinne that is not vnto death, let him aske, and he shall giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it.
如果你看到其他基督徒兄弟姐妹犯下并不致命的罪，你应该祈祷，上帝会赐给有罪之人以生命。（但不能是致命的罪。有一种罪是致命的，我不是说人们应该这样祈祷。
17 All vnrighteousnesse is sinne, but there is a sinne not vnto death.
是的，所有不正直良善的都是罪，但也有不致命的罪。）
18 We know that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himselfe, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
我们意识到，那些生自上帝的人不会持续犯罪。上帝的儿子保护他们，魔鬼不能伤害他们。
19 We knowe that we are of God, and this whole world lieth in wickednesse.
我们知道我们属于上帝，以及世界处于恶者的权势之下。
20 But we know that that Sone of God is come, and hath giue vs a mind to know him, which is true: and we are in him that is true, that is, in that his Sone Iesus Christ: this same is that very God, and that eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
我们也知道上帝的儿子已经到来，帮助我们理解，让我们意识到哪一位才是正确的。我们就活在真实的他中，在他儿子耶稣基督之中。他就是真正的上帝，是永恒的生命 (aiōnios g166)
21 Litle children, keepe your selues from idoles, Amen.
亲爱的朋友们，要远离那些神像崇拜。
