1 John 5

1 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.

Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him.

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

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

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

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

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

because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.

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

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 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.

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7 Because, three, are they who are bearing witness—

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

For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.

9 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, —

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

10 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—

He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son.

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

And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

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

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

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

And this is the confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us;

15 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,

and if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked of him.

16 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.

If any one see his brother sin a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and shall give him life, —to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; for that I do not say that he shall pray.

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

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

18 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.

We know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not.

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

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the dominion of the Evil One.

20 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)

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.

My children, keep yourselves from idols.
