1 John 5

1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten by him.

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

By this we know 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: and 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 whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, [even] our faith.

For whatever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.

5 And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.

This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth testimony, because the Spirit is truth.

7 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

For there are three that bear testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.

8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.

And there are three that bear testimony on earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son.

11 And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

12 He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

He that hath the Son, hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

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

14 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.

16 If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and [God] will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.

If any man shall see his brother sin a sin [which is] not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.

18 We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth him, and the evil one toucheth him not.

We know that whoever is born of God, sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

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

[And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

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

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

21 [My] little children, guard yourselves from idols.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
