1 John 5

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

yIzurabhiSiktastrAteti yaH kazcid vizvAsiti sa IzvarAt jAtaH; aparaM yaH kazcit janayitari prIyate sa tasmAt jAte jane 'pi prIyate|

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

vayam Izvarasya santAneSu prIyAmahe tad anena jAnImo yad Izvare prIyAmahe tasyAjJAH pAlayAmazca|

3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

yata Izvare yat prema tat tadIyAjJApAlanenAsmAbhiH prakAzayitavyaM, tasyAjJAzca kaThorA na bhavanti|

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

yato yaH kazcid IzvarAt jAtaH sa saMsAraM jayati kiJcAsmAkaM yo vizvAsaH sa evAsmAkaM saMsArajayijayaH|

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

yIzurIzvarasya putra iti yo vizvasiti taM vinA ko'paraH saMsAraM jayati?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

so'bhiSiktastrAtA yIzustoyarudhirAbhyAm AgataH kevalaM toyena nahi kintu toyarudhirAbhyAm, AtmA ca sAkSI bhavati yata AtmA satyatAsvarUpaH|

7 For there are three who testify:

yato hetoH svarge pitA vAdaH pavitra AtmA ca traya ime sAkSiNaH santi, traya ime caiko bhavanti|

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

tathA pRthivyAm AtmA toyaM rudhiraJca trINyetAni sAkSyaM dadAti teSAM trayANAm ekatvaM bhavati ca|

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

mAnavAnAM sAkSyaM yadyasmAbhi rgRhyate tarhIzvarasya sAkSyaM tasmAdapi zreSThaM yataH svaputramadhIzvareNa dattaM sAkSyamidaM|

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

Izvarasya putre yo vizvAsiti sa nijAntare tat sAkSyaM dhArayati; Izvare yo na vizvasiti sa tam anRtavAdinaM karoti yata IzvaraH svaputramadhi yat sAkSyaM dattavAn tasmin sa na vizvasiti|

11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

tacca sAkSyamidaM yad Izvaro 'smabhyam anantajIvanaM dattavAn tacca jIvanaM tasya putre vidyate| (aiōnios g166)

12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

yaH putraM dhArayati sa jIvanaM dhAriyati, Izvarasya putraM yo na dhArayati sa jIvanaM na dhArayati|

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

Izvaraputrasya nAmni yuSmAn pratyetAni mayA likhitAni tasyAbhiprAyo 'yaM yad yUyam anantajIvanaprAptA iti jAnIyAta tasyezvaraputrasya nAmni vizvaseta ca| (aiōnios g166)

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

tasyAntike 'smAkaM yA pratibhA bhavati tasyAH kAraNamidaM yad vayaM yadi tasyAbhimataM kimapi taM yAcAmahe tarhi so 'smAkaM vAkyaM zRNoti|

15 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.

sa cAsmAkaM yat kiJcana yAcanaM zRNotIti yadi jAnImastarhi tasmAd yAcitA varA asmAbhiH prApyante tadapi jAnImaH|

16 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 sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

kazcid yadi svabhrAtaram amRtyujanakaM pApaM kurvvantaM pazyati tarhi sa prArthanAM karotu tenezvarastasmai jIvanaM dAsyati, arthato mRtyujanakaM pApaM yena nAkAritasmai| kintu mRtyujanakam ekaM pApam Aste tadadhi tena prArthanA kriyatAmityahaM na vadAmi|

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

sarvva evAdharmmaH pApaM kintu sarvvapAMpa mRtyujanakaM nahi|

18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

ya IzvarAt jAtaH sa pApAcAraM na karoti kintvIzvarAt jAto janaH svaM rakSati tasmAt sa pApAtmA taM na spRzatIti vayaM jAnImaH|

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

vayam IzvarAt jAtAH kintu kRtsnaH saMsAraH pApAtmano vazaM gato 'stIti jAnImaH|

20 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 Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

aparam Izvarasya putra AgatavAn vayaJca yayA tasya satyamayasya jJAnaM prApnuyAmastAdRzIM dhiyam asmabhyaM dattavAn iti jAnImastasmin satyamaye 'rthatastasya putre yIzukhrISTe tiSThAmazca; sa eva satyamaya Izvaro 'nantajIvanasvarUpazcAsti| (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
