1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God. 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 In this way, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments. 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 love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy. 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 born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith. 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 overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son 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 is the One who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies that the Christ is the Truth. 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 who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One. For there are three that testify: For there are three that testify:
8 And there are three who give testimony on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three are 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 accept the testimony of men, then the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater: that he has testified about his Son. 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 Whoever believes in the Son of God, holds the testimony of God within himself. Whoever does not believe in the Son, makes him a liar, because he does not believe in the testimony which God has testified about his Son. 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 testimony which God has given to us: Eternal Life. And this Life is in his Son. 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 Whoever has the Son, has Life. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life. 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 I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son 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 confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us. 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 we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him. 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 Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin. 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 that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto 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 know that everyone who is born of God does not sin. Instead, rebirth in God preserves him, and the evil one cannot touch him. 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 know that we are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness. 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 And we know that the Son of God has arrived, and that he has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God, and so that we may remain in his true Son. This is the true God, and this is Eternal Life. 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 Little sons, keep yourselves from false worship. Amen. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
