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.

Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth him that hath been begotten of him.

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

Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.

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

For, this is the love of God—that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;

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

Because, whatsoever hath been born of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world—our faith.

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

[And] who is he that overcometh the world, save he that believeth that, Jesus, is the Son of God?

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.

This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, —and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.

7 For there are three who testify:

Because, three, are they who are bearing witness—

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

The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, [witnesses], unto one thing.

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.

If, the witness of men, we receive, the witness of God, is, greater. Because, this, is the witness of God—in that he hath borne witness concerning his Son, —

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.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him, —because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son—

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

And, this, is the witness: —that, life age-abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son: (aiōnios g166)

12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.

He that hath the Son, hath, the life, —he that hath not the Son of God, hath not, the life.

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)

These things, have I written unto you—in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age-abiding—unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God. (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.

And, this, is the boldness which we have towards him: that, if, anything, we ask, according to his will, He doth hearken unto us.

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.

And, if we know that he doth hearken unto us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the things asked, which we have asked of him,

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.

If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life, —for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.

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

All unrighteousness, is, sin, and there, is, a sin, not unto death.

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.

We know that, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin, —Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.

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

We know that, of God, are we; and, the whole world, in the wicked one, is lying.

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)

We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real, —and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.
