1 John 5

1 Everyone who is believing that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God, and everyone who is loving Him who begot, also loves him who is begotten of Him.

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.

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

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

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

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

4 because everyone who is begotten of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcame the world—our faith.

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

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

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

6 This One is He who came through water and blood—Jesus the Christ, not in water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit is the [One] testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

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;

7 because [there] are three who are testifying [[in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one;

actually there are three who bear witness

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

11 and this is the testimony, that God gave continuous life to us, and this life is in His Son; (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 who is having the Son has life; he who is not having the Son of God does not have life.

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

13 I wrote these things to you who are believing in the Name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have continuous life, and that you may believe in the Name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

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)

14 And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if we may ask anything according to His will, He hears us,

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

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

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.

16 If anyone may see his brother sinning a sin [that is] not to death, he will ask, and He will give life to him—to those not sinning to death; there is sin to death—I do not say that he may ask concerning it;

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.

17 all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin [that is] not to death.

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

18 We have known that everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, but He who was begotten of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him;

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.

19 we have known that we are of God, and the whole world lies [under the power] of the evil [one];

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

20 but we have known that the Son of God has come, and has 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 continuous Life! (aiōnios g166)

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)

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols! Amen.

Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.
