1 John 5
Revised Geneva Translation
5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. And everyone who loves Him Who begat, also loves him who is begotten of Him.
2 In this we know 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 burdensome.
4 For all that is born of God overcomes this world. And this is that victory that has overcome this world: our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes this world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is that Jesus Christ Who came by water and blood - not by water only, but by water and blood - and it is that Spirit that bears witness. For that Spirit is Truth.
7 For there are Three Who bear record in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are One.
8 And there are Three Who bear record on the Earth: the Spirit and the Water and the Blood. And these Three agree in One.
9 If we receive the witness of man, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which He testified about His Son:
10 The one who believes in that Son of God, has the witness in himself. The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the record that God witnessed of His Son.
11 And this is that record: that God has given us eternal life. And this life is in His Son.
12 The one who has that Son, has that life. And the one who does not have that Son of God, does not have that life.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the Name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life (and that you may believe in the Name of the Son of God).
14 And this is that assurance that we have in Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have the petitions that we have desired of Him.
16 If anyone sees his brother sin a sin that does not lead to death, let him ask and He shall give him life for those whose sin does not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death. I do not say that you should pray for that.
17 All unrighteousness is sin. But there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin. But the one who is begotten of God guards himself. And the wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and this whole world lies in wickedness.
20 But we know that the Son of God has come and has given us a mind to know Him Who is true. And we are in Him Who is true; in His Son Jesus Christ. The same is that very God and that Eternal Life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
1 John 5
King James Version
5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know 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 whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these 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 hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
