1 John

5 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 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 his commandments we be keeping, 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.

5 [And] who is he that overcometh the world, Save 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.

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.

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,—

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—

11 And this is the witness:—That life age-abiding hath God given unto us, And this life is in his Son:

12 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.

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.

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,

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.

17 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.

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

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.

21 Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.
