1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
凡信耶穌是基督的，都是從上帝而生，凡愛生他之上帝的，也必愛從上帝生的。
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.
我們若愛上帝，又遵守他的誡命，從此就知道我們愛上帝的兒女。
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
我們遵守上帝的誡命，這就是愛他了，並且他的誡命不是難守的。
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
因為凡從上帝生的，就勝過世界；使我們勝了世界的，就是我們的信心。
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
勝過世界的是誰呢？不是那信耶穌是上帝兒子的嗎？
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.
這藉着水和血而來的，就是耶穌基督；不是單用水，乃是用水又用血，
7 For there are three who testify:
並且有聖靈作見證，因為聖靈就是真理。
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
作見證的原來有三：就是聖靈、水，與血，這三樣也都歸於一。
9 If we accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified concerning his Son.
我們既領受人的見證，上帝的見證更該領受了，因上帝的見證是為他兒子作的。
10 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.
信上帝兒子的，就有這見證在他心裏；不信上帝的，就是將上帝當作說謊的，因不信上帝為他兒子作的見證。
11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
這見證就是上帝賜給我們永生；這永生也是在他兒子裏面。 (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.
人有了上帝的兒子就有生命，沒有上帝的兒子就沒有生命。
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 everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
我將這些話寫給你們信奉上帝兒子之名的人，要叫你們知道自己有永生。 (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.
我們若照他的旨意求甚麼，他就聽我們，這是我們向他所存坦然無懼的心。
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.
既然知道他聽我們一切所求的，就知道我們所求於他的，無不得着。
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and he 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.
人若看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪，就當為他祈求，上帝必將生命賜給他；有至於死的罪，我不說當為這罪祈求。
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
凡不義的事都是罪，也有不至於死的罪。
18 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.
我們知道凡從上帝生的，必不犯罪，從上帝生的，必保守自己，那惡者也就無法害他。
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
我們知道，我們是屬上帝的，全世界都臥在那惡者手下。
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. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
我們也知道，上帝的兒子已經來到，且將智慧賜給我們，使我們認識那位真實的，我們也在那位真實的裏面，就是在他兒子耶穌基督裏面。這是真神，也是永生。 (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
小子們哪，你們要自守，遠避偶像！
