1 John 5

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

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

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

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

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

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

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

Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.

7 For there are three who testify:

For they that bear witness are three:

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.

9 If we accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified concerning his Son.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.

10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.

11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

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

12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.

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

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

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

14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.

15 And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and he will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should make a request concerning this.

If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.

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

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

18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.

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

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

20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Children, keep yourselves from idols.
