1 John 5
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves a parent loves his child.
Ech man that bileueth that Jhesus is Crist, is borun of God; and ech man that loueth hym that gendride, loueth hym that is borun of hym.
2 By this we know that we love God’s children – when we love God and carry out his commands.
In this thing we knowen, that we louen the children of God, whanne we louen God, and don his maundementis.
3 For to love God is to do what he commands and his commands are not a burden,
For this is the charite of God, that we kepe hise maundementis; and his maundementis ben not heuy.
4 for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. What is the victory by which the world is overcome? Our faith!
For al thing that is borun of God, ouercometh the world; and this is the victorie that ouercometh the world, oure feith.
5 Who can overcome the world but the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
And who is he that ouercometh the world, but he that bileueth that Jhesus is the sone of God?
6 Jesus Christ, the one who came by water and blood – not by water only but by water and blood – and the Spirit testifies to this because the Spirit is truth.
This is Jhesus Crist, that cam bi watir and blood; not in water oonli, but in watir and blood. And the spirit is he that witnessith, that Crist is treuthe.
7 Indeed three testify:
For thre ben, that yyuen witnessing in heuene, the Fadir, the Sone, and the Hooli Goost; and these thre ben oon.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree.
`And thre ben, that yyuen witnessing in erthe, the spirit, water, and blood; and these thre ben oon.
9 We accept human testimony, surely God’s testimony is even stronger! And God’s testimony is the testimony he has given about his Son.
If we resseyuen the witnessing of men, the witnessing of God is more; for this is the witnessing of God, that is more, for he witnesside of his sone.
10 The person who believes in the Son of God has that testimony within them. The person who does not believe God has made God a liar, by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
He that bileueth in the sone of God, hath the witnessing of God in hym. He that bileueth not to the sone, makith hym a liere; for he bileueth not in the witnessing, that God witnesside of his sone.
11 And this is that testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the witnessyng, for God yaf to you euerlastinge lijf, and this lijf is in his sone. (aiōnios g166)
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
He that hath the sone of God, hath also lijf; he that hath not the sone of God, hath not lijf.
13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
I write to you these thingis, that ye wite, that ye han euerlastynge lijf, which bileuen in the name of Goddis sone. (aiōnios g166)
14 We can approach him with this confidence, that whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he listens to us.
And this is the trist which we han to God, that what euer thing we axen aftir his wille, he schal here vs.
15 And if we know he hears us – whatever we ask – we know also that what we ask for is ours.
And we witen, that he herith vs, what euer thing we axen; we witen, that we han the axyngis, which we axen of hym.
16 If anyone sees one of our people committing some sin that is not a sin leading to death, they should ask, and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
He that woot that his brother synneth a synne not to deth, axe he, and lijf schal be youun to hym that synneth not to deth. Ther is a synne to deth; `not for it Y seie, that ony man preie.
17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
Ech wickidnesse is synne, and ther is synne to deth.
18 We know that those who have been born of God do not keep sinning. God protects his children and the evil one cannot get hold of them.
We witen, that ech man that is borun of God, synneth not; but the generacioun of God kepith hym, and the wickid touchith hym not.
19 We know that we are God’s children, though the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
We witen, that we ben of God, and al the world is set in yuel.
20 We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God – and we are in him who is true, by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
And we witen, that the sone of God cam in fleisch, and yaf to vs wit, that we know veri God, and be in the veri sone of hym. This is veri God, and euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
21 My children, guard yourselves against false ideas of God.
My litle sones, kepe ye you fro maumetis.
