1 John 5

Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and everyone loving the one begetting also loves the one having been begotten from him.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and we keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we should keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. \*

For everyone who has been begotten from God triumphs over the world. And this is the triumph that has triumphed over the world, our faith.

But who is the one triumphing over the world if not the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God? \*

This is the one having come by water and blood: Jesus Christ—not in water alone, but in water and in blood. And the Spirit is the one testifying, because the Spirit is truth.

For there are three who are testifying:

the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are unto the one. \*

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, that he has testified about his Son.

The one believing in the Son of God has the testimony in him. The one not believing God has made him a liar because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son. \*

And this is the testimony: that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

The one having the Son has life. The one not having the Son of God does not have life. \*

I have written these things to you, the ones believing in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we may request, we know that we have the requests that we have requested from him. \*

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give him life, for the ones sinning not toward death. There is a sin toward death; I am not saying that he should pray about that.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not toward death. \*

We know that everyone having been begotten from God does not sin, but the one begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the evil one. \*

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know the True One. And we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Little children, keep yourselves from the idols.
