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.

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 In this we know that we loue the children of God, when we loue God, and keepe his commandements.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements: and his commandements are not burdenous.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome.

4 For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth this world: and this is that victorie that hath ouercome this world, euen 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 it that ouercommeth this world, but he which beleeueth that Iesus is that Sonne of God?

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

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.

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 there are three, which beare recorde in heauen, the Father, the Worde, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one.

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

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.

and the three agree in one.

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.

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 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.

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 that record, to wit, that God hath giuen vnto vs eternall life, and this life is in that his Sonne. (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 hath that Sonne, hath that life: and he that hath not that Sonne of God, hath not that life.

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

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)

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 that assurance, that we haue in him, that if we aske any thing according to his will, he heareth vs.

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 heareth vs, whatsoeuer we aske, we know that we haue the petitions, that we haue desired 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 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.

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 All vnrighteousnesse is sinne, but there is a sinne not vnto death.

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

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.

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 knowe that we are of God, and this whole world lieth in wickednesse.

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

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)

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)

21 Litle children, keepe your selues from idoles, Amen.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
