| Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the {child} born of Him. | |
| By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. | |
| For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. | |
| For whatever is born of God overcomes 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 believes that Jesus is the Son of God? | |
| This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. | |
| For there are three that testify: | |
| the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. | |
| If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son. | |
| The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made 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 eternal life, and this life is in His Son. | |
| He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. | |
| These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. | |
| This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. | |
| And if we know that He hears us {in} whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. | |
| If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not {leading} to death, he shall ask and {God} will for him give life to those who commit sin not {leading} to death. There is a sin {leading} to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. | |
| All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not {leading} to death. | |
| We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. | |
| We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in {the power of} the evil one. | |
| 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. This is the true God and eternal life. | |
| Little children, guard yourselves from idols. |
