1 John 5

1 Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth him that hath been begotten of him.

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.

2 Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.

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

3 For, this is the love of God—that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;

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

4 Because, whatsoever hath been born of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world—our faith.

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

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

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

6 This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, —and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.

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.

7 Because, three, are they who are bearing witness—

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

8 The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, [witnesses], unto one thing.

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

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

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.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him, —because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son—

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.

11 And, this, is the witness: —that, life age-abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son: (aiōnios g166)

And the witness is this, that God gave unto 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 the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

13 These things, have I written unto you—in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age-abiding—unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

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)

14 And, this, is the boldness which we have towards him: that, if, anything, we ask, according to his will, He doth hearken unto us.

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

15 And, if we know that he doth hearken unto us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the things asked, which we have asked of him,

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

16 If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life, —for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.

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.

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

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

18 We know that, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin, —Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.

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.

19 We know that, of God, are we; and, the whole world, in the wicked one, is lying.

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

20 We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real, —and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

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)

21 Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.

[My] little children, guard yourselves from idols.
