1Jo 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.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:2 |
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:3 |
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:4 |
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our [fn] faith.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:5 |
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:6 |
This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:7 |
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:8 |
And there are three that bear witness on earth: [fn] the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:9 |
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which [fn] He has testified of His Son.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 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.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:11 |
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:12 |
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 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, [fn] and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:14 |
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 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.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 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.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:17 |
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not [leading] to death.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:18 |
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, [fn] and the wicked one does not touch him.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:19 |
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies [under the sway of] the wicked one.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 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.
|
  
  
|
1Jo 5:21 |
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
