1. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the father loves (also) the one begotten by him.
|
1. Whosoever G3956 believeth G4100 that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 the G3588 Christ G5547 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 : and G2532 every one G3956 that loveth G25 him that begat G1080 loveth G25 him also that is begotten G1080 G2532 of G1537 him G846 .
|
|
2. In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments.
|
2. By G1722 this G5129 we know G1097 that G3754 we love G25 the G3588 children G5043 of God G2316 , when G3752 we love G25 God G2316 , and G2532 keep G5083 his G848 commandments G1785 .
|
|
3. For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,
|
3. For G1063 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 , that G2443 we keep G5083 his G848 commandments G1785 : and G2532 his G848 commandments G1785 are G1526 not G3756 grievous G926 .
|
|
4. for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith.
|
4. For G3754 whatsoever G3956 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 overcometh G3528 the G3588 world G2889 : and G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 victory G3529 that overcometh G3528 the G3588 world G2889 , even our G2257 faith G4102 .
|
|
5. Who (indeed) is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
|
5. Who G5101 is G2076 he that overcometh G3528 the G3588 world G2889 , but G1508 he that believeth G4100 that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 ?
|
|
6. This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth.
|
6. This G3778 is G2076 he that came G2064 by G1223 water G5204 and G2532 blood G129 , even Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 ; not G3756 by G1722 water G5204 only G3440 , but G235 by G1722 water G5204 and G2532 blood G129 . And G2532 it is G2076 the G3588 Spirit G4151 that beareth witness G3140 , because G3754 the G3588 Spirit G4151 is G2076 truth G225 .
|
|
7. So there are three that testify,
|
7. For G3754 there are G1526 three G5140 that bear record G3140 in G1722 heaven G3772 , the G3588 Father G3962 , the G3588 Word G3056 , and G2532 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 : and G2532 these G3778 three G5140 are G1526 one G1520 .
|
|
8. the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord.
|
8. And G2532 there are G1526 three G5140 that bear witness G3140 in G1722 earth G1093 , the G3588 spirit G4151 , and G2532 the G3588 water G5204 , and G2532 the G3588 blood G129 : and G2532 these three G5140 agree G1526 in G1519 one G1520 .
|
|
9. If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son.
|
9. If G1487 we receive G2983 the G3588 witness G3141 of men G444 , the G3588 witness G3141 of God G2316 is G2076 greater G3187 : for G3754 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 witness G3141 of God G2316 which G3739 he hath testified G3140 of G4012 his G848 Son G5207 .
|
|
10. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
|
10. He that believeth G4100 on G1519 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 hath G2192 the G3588 witness G3141 in G1722 himself G1438 : he that believeth G4100 not G3361 God G2316 hath made G4160 him G846 a liar G5583 ; because G3754 he believeth G4100 not G3756 the G3588 record G3141 that G3739 God G2316 gave G3140 of G4012 his G848 Son G5207 .
|
|
11. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
|
11. And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 record G3141 , that G3754 God G2316 hath given G1325 to us G2254 eternal G166 life G2222 , and G2532 this G3778 life G2222 is G2076 in G1722 his G848 Son G5207 .
|
|
12. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.
|
12. He that hath G2192 the G3588 Son G5207 hath G2192 life G2222 : and he that hath G2192 not G3361 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 hath G2192 not G3756 life G2222 .
|
|
13. I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
|
13. These things G5023 have I written G1125 unto you G5213 that believe G4100 on G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 ; that G2443 ye may know G1492 that G3754 ye have G2192 eternal G166 life G2222 , and G2532 that G2443 ye may believe G4100 on G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 .
|
|
14. And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
|
14. And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 confidence G3954 that G3739 we have G2192 in G4314 him G846 , that G3754 , if G1437 we ask G154 any thing G5100 according G2596 to his G848 will G2307 , he heareth G191 us G2257 :
|
|
15. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours.
|
15. And G2532 if G1437 we know G1492 that G3754 he hear G191 us G2257 , whatsoever G3739 G302 we ask G154 , we know G1492 that G3754 we have G2192 the G3588 petitions G155 that G3739 we desired G154 of G3844 him G846 .
|
|
16. If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray.
|
16. If G1437 any man G5100 see G1492 his G848 brother G80 sin G264 a sin G266 which is not G3361 unto G4314 death G2288 , he shall ask G154 , and G2532 he shall give G1325 him G846 life G2222 for them that sin G264 not G3361 unto G4314 death G2288 . There is G2076 a sin G266 unto G4314 death G2288 : I do not G3756 say G3004 that G2443 he shall pray G2065 for G4012 it G1565 .
|
|
17. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly.
|
17. All G3956 unrighteousness G93 is G2076 sin G266 : and G2532 there is G2076 a sin G266 not G3756 unto G4314 death G2288 .
|
|
18. We know that no one begotten by God sins; but the one begotten by God he protects, and the evil one cannot touch him.
|
18. We know G1492 that G3754 whosoever G3956 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 sinneth G264 not G3756 ; but G235 he that is begotten G1080 of G1537 God G2316 keepeth G5083 himself G1438 , and G2532 that wicked one G4190 toucheth G680 him G846 not G3756 .
|
|
19. We know that we belong to God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
|
19. And we know G1492 that G3754 we are G2070 of G1537 God G2316 , and G2532 the G3588 whole G3650 world G2889 lieth G2749 in G1722 wickedness G4190 .
|
|
20. We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
|
20. And G1161 we know G1492 that G3754 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 is come G2240 , and G2532 hath given G1325 us G2254 an understanding G1271 , that G2443 we may know G1097 him that is true G228 , and G2532 we are G2070 in G1722 him that is true G228 , even in G1722 his G848 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 . This G3778 is G2076 the G3588 true G228 God G2316 , and G2532 eternal G166 life G2222 .
|
|
21. Children, be on your guard against idols.
|
21. Little children G5040 , keep G5442 yourselves G1438 from G575 idols G1497 . Amen G281 .
