| 5:1 | Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ* has been fathered* by God, and everyone who loves the father* loves the child fathered by him.* |
| 5:2 | By this* we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and obey his commandments. |
| 5:3 | For* this is the love of God:* that we keep his commandments.* And his commandments do not weigh us down, |
| 5:4 | because* everyone* who has been fathered by God* conquers* the world.*This* is the conquering power* that has conquered* the world: our faith. |
| 5:5 | Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that* Jesus is the Son of God? |
| 5:6 | Jesus Christ is the one who came by water and blood – not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because* the Spirit is the truth. |
| 5:7 | For* there are three that testify,* |
| 5:8 | the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement. |
| 5:9 | If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because* this* is the testimony of God that* he has testified concerning his Son. |
| 5:10 | (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)* |
| 5:11 | And this is the testimony: God* has given us eternal life,* and this life is in his Son. |
| 5:12 | The one who has the Son* has this* eternal* life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this* eternal* life. |
| 5:13 | I have written these things* to you who believe* in the name of the Son of God so that* you may know that you have eternal life. |
| 5:14 | And this is the confidence that we have before him: that* whenever* we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. |
| 5:15 | And if we know* that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him. |
| 5:16 | If* anyone sees his fellow Christian* committing a sin not resulting in death,* he should ask, and God* will grant* life to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death.* There is a sin resulting in death.* I do not say that he should ask about that. |
| 5:17 | All unrighteousness* is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death.* |
| 5:18 | We know that everyone fathered* by God does not sin, but God* protects* the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him. |
| 5:19 | We know that we are from God,* and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. |
| 5:20 | And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know* him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one* is the true God and eternal life. |
| 5:21 | Little children, guard yourselves from idols.* |
