1 John 5

1 Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Messiah is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

2 In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.

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

3 For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.

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

4 Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

5 Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?

6 This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

This is he who came by water and blood, Yeshua the Messiah; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Ruach who testifies, because the Ruach is the truth.

7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

For there are three who testify:

8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.

the Ruach, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

9 If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

If we accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified concerning his Son.

10 He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

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

The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this 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 has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.

13 I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

14 And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

15 And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.

And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

16 If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should make a request concerning this.

17 All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

18 We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

19 We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.

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

20 And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
