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 is born from God, and whoever loves a father also loves the child born from him.

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

Because of this we know that we love God's children, when we love God and do 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 love for God: that we keep his commandments. And 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.

For everyone who is born from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world, even 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 the one who overcomes the world? The one 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 the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. He came not only by water, but also by water and blood.

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

For 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. These three are in agreement.

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 witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For the testimony of God is this, that he has borne witness 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;

Anyone who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the witness that God has given 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 the witness is this: God gave 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.

The one who has the Son has life. The one who does not have the Son of God does not have 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 to you these things so that you will know that you have eternal life—to you who believe in the name of the Son of God. (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,

Also, this is the confidence we have before him, that if we 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.

Also, if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask of him—we know that we have whatever 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 sees his brother commit a sin that does not result in death, he must pray, and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not result in death. There is a sin that results in death; I am not saying that he should pray about that.

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

All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin that does not result in 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 is born from God does not sin. But the one who was born from God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm 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 from God, and we know that 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)

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. Also, we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols! Amen.

Children, keep yourselves from idols.
