1 John 5:1-13 ▼

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus (YHWH saves) is the Christ (the Anointed One) has been born of God {Theou}, and everyone who loves {agapōn} the Father also loves {agapa} those born of Him \and everyone loving the One having begotten also loves the one having been begotten from Him./.

2 By this we know that we love {agapōmen} the children of God {Theou}: when we love God {Theon} and keep His commandments.

3 For this is the love {agapē} of God {Theou}, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

4 because everyone born of God {Theou} overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

5 Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus (YHWH saves) is the Son of God {Theou}.

6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One)—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit {Pneuma} who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 For there are three that testify [in heaven: The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8And there are three that testify on earth]:

8 the Spirit {Pneuma}, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.

9 Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God {Theou} is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.

10 Whoever believes in the Son of God {Theou} has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God {Theō} has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God {Theos} has given about His Son.

11 And this is that testimony: God {Theos} 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 of God {Theou} does not have life.

13 I have written these things to you⁺ who believe in the name of the Son of God {Theou}, so that you⁺ may know that you⁺ have eternal life [and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God].
