Chapter 5

1


 

  Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.  

 

 

-

3


 

  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  

 

 

-

6


 

  This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.  

 

 

-

7


 

  For they that bear witness are three:  

 

 

-

8


 

  the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.  

 

 

-

9


 

  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.  

 

 

-

10


 

  He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.  

 

 

-

11


 

  And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.  

 

 

-

12


 

  He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.  

 

 

-

13


 

  These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God.  

 

 

-

14


 

  And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.  

 

 

-

15


 

  And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.  

 

 

-

16


 

  If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.  

 

 

-

18


 

  We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.  

 

 

-

19


 

  We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one].  

 

 

-

20


 

  And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Children, keep yourselves from idols.
