< 1 John 5 >

1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.
Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:
2 The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.
in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;
3 Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.
for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;
4 For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.
because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;
5 Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?
who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony-- because the Spirit is the Truth.
This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,
7 For there are three that give testimony-- the Spirit, the water, and the blood;
because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;
8 and there is complete agreement between these three.
and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.
9 If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.
If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.
He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;
11 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)
and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this — the life — is in His Son; (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.
he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.
13 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.
16 If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life--for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.
If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;
17 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.
all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.
18 We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.
We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;
19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.
we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;
20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during! (aiōnios g166)
21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols.
Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
