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.

Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God. And whoever loveth the begetter, loveth him also that is begotten of him.

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

And by this we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and follow his commandments.

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 we keep his commandments: 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, whoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.

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

For who is he that overcometh the world, but 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 who came by the water and the blood. Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit testifieth; because the Spirit is truth.

7 For there are three who testify:

For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.

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

And there are three witnesses, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are in union.

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 we receive the testimony of men, how much greater is the testimony of God? And this is the testimony of God, which he hath testified 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.

Whoever believeth in the Son of God, hath this testimony in himself. And whoever believeth not God, hath made him a liar, by not believing the testimony which God hath testified 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 testimony, that God hath given to us life eternal, 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.

Every one that taketh hold of the Son, taketh hold of life; and every one that taketh not hold of the Son, hath not 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 to you, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, ye who believe in 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 confidence that we have towards him, that whatever we ask of him, agreeably to his will, he heareth 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 are persuaded that he heareth us respecting what we ask of him, we are confident of receiving presently the petitions which we 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 any one shall see his brother sin a sin which doth not deserve death, he shall ask, and life will be given him, to them I say who sin not as unto death. For there is a sin of death; and I do not say of this, that a man should pray for it.

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

For all iniquity is sin; and there is a sin which is not of 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.

And we know, that every one who is born of God, sinneth not: for he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.

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

We know, that we are of God; and all the world is reposing on the evil one.

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)

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

My children, keep yourselves from idolatry.
