1 John 5

1 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.

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 keep 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: and his commandments are not burdensome.

For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:

4 For whoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even 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 that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 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 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 witness, because the Spirit is 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 that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.

Because there are three who are bearing witness,

8 And there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

the Spirit and the water, and blood: and these three are one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of 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 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.

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 And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal 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 that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

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

13 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)

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 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth 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 heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from 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 any man shall see his brother sin a sin which is not to death, he shall ask, and he shall 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.

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 to death.

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

18 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.

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

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

20 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)

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. Amen.

Little children, keep yourselves from the idols.
