1 John 5

1 EVERY one who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him.

Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

2 Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

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

for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

4 Because every one that is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;

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

who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth.

This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

7 For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one.

because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;

8 And there are three which bear witness upon earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are for the same one object.

and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.

9 If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he testified concerning his Son.

If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son.

He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

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

and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this — the life — is in His Son; (aiōnios g166)

12 He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life.

he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.

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

These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

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

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

15 And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have requested, from him.

and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

16 If any person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for that.

If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

17 All unrighteousness is sin; and there is sin not unto death.

all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

18 We know that every one who is born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God preserveth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

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

we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

20 But we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during! (aiōnios g166)

21 My dear children, guard yourselves against idols. Amen.

Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
