1 John 5

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

1JN 5:1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.

1JN 5:2 The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.

1JN 5:3 Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.

1JN 5:4 For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.

1JN 5:5 Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?

1JN 5:6 Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony-- because the Spirit is the Truth.

1JN 5:7 For there are three that give testimony-- the Spirit, the water, and the blood;

1JN 5:8 and there is complete agreement between these three.

1JN 5:9 If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.

1JN 5:10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.

1JN 5:11 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son.

1JN 5:12 He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.

1JN 5:13 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages.

1JN 5:14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.

1JN 5:15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.

1JN 5:16 If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life--for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.

1JN 5:17 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.

1JN 5:18 We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.

1JN 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.

1JN 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages.

1JN 5:21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols.
