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 believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

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

In this we know that we love the children of God with divine love, when we love God with divine love 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 divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:

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

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered 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 the one conquering the world, except the one believing 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.

He is the one having come through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood; the Spirit is the one who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 For there are three who testify:

Because there are three who are bearing witness,

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

the Spirit and the water, and blood: and these three are 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: because this is the witness of God that he has testified 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.

The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified 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 testimony, that God has given unto 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.

The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the 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)

I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those 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 assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask 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 as to whatsoever we may ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked from 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 may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.

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

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is sin not unto 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 who has been born of God, sins not; but the one having been born of God keeps himself, and the evil 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 evil 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)

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
