1 John 5

1 John 5

  • 1
    Overcoming the World

    Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.
  • 1
    Faith in the Son of God

    Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christa has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.
  • 2
    By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
  • 2
    We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments.
  • 3
    For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
  • 3
    Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
  • 4
    For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.
  • 4
    For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
  • 5
    Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
  • 5
    And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
  • 6
    Testimony Concerning the Son of God

    This is he who came by water and blood — Jesus Christ; 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.
  • 6
    And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the crossb — not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony.
  • 7
    For there are three that testify:
  • 7
    So we have these three witnessesc —
  • 8
    the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
  • 8
    the Spirit, the water, and the blood — and all three agree.
  • 9
    If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.
  • 9
    Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son.
  • 10
    Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.
  • 10
    All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.
  • 11
    And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
  • 11
    And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
  • 12
    Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
  • 12
    Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
  • 13

    And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
  • 14
    And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.
  • 15
    And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
  • 15
    And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
  • 16
    If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and Goda will give him life — to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.
  • 16
    If you see a fellow believerd sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it.
