1 Whosoeuer beleueth that Iesus is Christe, is borne of God: And euerie one that loueth him which begat, loueth hym also which is begotten of hym. 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. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
2 By this we knowe that we loue the chyldren of God, when we loue God, and kepe his commaundementes. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
3 For this is the loue of God, that we kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundementes are not greeuous. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
4 For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth the worlde. And this is the victorie that ouercommeth ye worlde, euen our fayth. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5 Who is it that ouercommeth ye worlde, but he which beleueth that Iesus is the sonne of God? Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6 This Iesus Christe, is he that came by water and blood: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the spirite that beareth witnesse, because the spirite is trueth. 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. This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For there are three which beare recorde in heauen, the father, the worde, and the holy ghost, and these three are one. For there are three that testify: For there are three that testify:
8 And there are three which beare recorde in earth, the spirite, and water, and blood, and these three agree in one. the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
9 If we receaue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: For this is the witnesse of God that is greater which he testified of his sonne. 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. We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.
10 He that beleueth on the sonne of God, hath the witnesse in hym selfe: He that beleueth not God, hath made hym a lyer, because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of his sonne. 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. Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
11 And this is the recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, and this lyfe, is in his sonne. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the sonne, hath lyfe: and he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 These thynges haue I written vnto you that beleue on ye name of the sonne of God, that ye may knowe howe that ye haue eternall lyfe, and that ye may beleue on the name of the sonne of God. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
14 And this is the trust that we haue in hym: that yf we aske any thyng accordyng to his wyll, he heareth vs. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 And yf we knowe that he heare vs, whatsoeuer we aske: we know that we haue ye petitions that we desire of hym. 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. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
16 If any man see his brother sinne a sinne not vnto death, let hym aske, and he shal geue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it. If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God 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. If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
17 All vnrighteousnes is sinne: and there is sinne vnto death. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 We knowe that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, kepeth hym selfe, and that wicked toucheth hym not. We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.
19 We knowe that we are of God, & the whole worlde lieth in wickednesse. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
20 We knowe that the sonne of God is come, & hath geuen vs a minde to know hym which is true: and we are in hym that is true, through his sonne Iesus Christe. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
21 Babes kepe your selues from idols. Amen. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
