aWhoever believes
that Jesus
is the 1Christ
is 2 bborn
of God
, and whoever
loves
the 3Father
cloves
the child 2born
of Him.
aBy this we know
that bwe love
the children
of God
, when
we love
God
and 1observe
His commandments
.
For athis is the love
of God
, that we bkeep
His commandments
; and cHis commandments
are not burdensome
.
For whatever is 1 aborn
of God
bovercomes
the world
; and this
is the victory
that has overcome
the world
--our faith
.
Who is the one who overcomes
the world
, but he who abelieves
that Jesus
is the Son
of God
?
This is the One who came
aby water
and blood
, Jesus
Christ
; not 1with the water
only
, but 1with the water
and 1with the blood
. It is bthe Spirit
who testifies
, because
the Spirit
is the truth
.
For there are athree
that testify
:
1the Spirit and the water
and the blood
; and the three
are 2in agreement
.
aIf we receive
the testimony
of men
, the testimony
of God
is greater
; for the testimony
of God
is this
, that bHe has testified
concerning
His Son
.
The one who believes in the Son
of God
ahas
the testimony
in himself
; the one who does not believe
God
has bmade
Him a liar
, because
he has not believed
in the testimony
that God
has given
concerning
His Son
.
And the testimony is this
, that God
has given
us aeternal
life
, and bthis
life
is in His Son
.
aHe who has the Son
has
the life
; he who does not have
the Son
of God
does not have
the life
.
aThese things
I have written
to you who bbelieve
in the name
of the Son
of God
, so
that you may know
that you have
ceternal
life
.
This is athe confidence
which
we have
1before
Him, that, bif
we ask
anything
according
to His will
, He hears
us.
And if we know
that He hears
us in whatever
we ask
, awe know
that we have
the requests
which
we have asked
from Him.
If anyone
sees
his brother
1committing
a sin
not leading to death
, ahe shall ask
and 2God will for him give
life
to those
who commit
sin
not leading to death
. bThere is a sin
leading to death
; cI do not say
that he should make
request
for this
.
aAll unrighteousness
is sin
, and bthere is a sin
not leading to death
.
aWe know that bno
one
who is 1born
of God
sins
; but He who was 1born
of God
ckeeps
him, and dthe evil
one
does not etouch
him.
aWe know that bwe are of God
, and that cthe whole
world
lies
in the power of the evil
one
.
And awe know that bthe Son
of God
has
come
, and has cgiven
us understanding
so
that we may know
dHim who
is true
; and we eare in Him who
is true
, in His Son
Jesus
Christ
. fThis
is the true
God
and geternal
life
.
aLittle children
, guard
yourselves
from bidols
.
