5:1 | Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. |
5:2 | By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. |
5:3 | For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. |
5:4 | For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the worldour faith. |
5:5 | Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
5:6 | This is He who came by water and bloodJesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. |
5:7 | For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. |
5:8 | And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. |
5:9 | If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. |
5:10 | He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. |
5:11 | And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. |
5:12 | He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. |
5:13 | These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God. |
5:14 | Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. |
5:15 | And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. |
5:16 | If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin [which does] not [lead] to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not [leading] to death. There is sin [leading] to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. |
5:17 | All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not [leading] to death. |
5:18 | We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. |
5:19 | We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies [under the sway of] the wicked one. |
5:20 | And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. |
5:21 | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. |
