New American Standard Bible 1995
1 John 5:1-5
11Whoever believes that Jesus is the 2Christ is 34born of God, and whoever loves the 5Father 6loves the child 7born of Him. 28By this we know that 9we love the children of God, when we love God and 10observe His commandments. 3For 11this is the love of God, that we 12keep His commandments; and 13His commandments are not burdensome. 4For whatever is 1415born of God 16overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
5Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who 17believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
