1 John 5:10-21

10The one who believes in the Son of God 1has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has 2made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. 11And the testimony is this, that God has given us 3eternal life, and 4this life is in His Son. 125He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

136These things I have written to you who 7believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have 8eternal life. 14This is 9the confidence which we have 10before Him, that, 11if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, 12we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

16If anyone sees his brother 13committing a sin not leading to death, 14he shall ask and 15God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. 16There is a sin leading to death; 17I do not say that he should make request for this. 1718All unrighteousness is sin, and 19there is a sin not leading to death.

1820We know that 21no one who is 22born of God sins; but He who was 23born of God 24keeps him, and 25the evil one does not 26touch him. 1927We know that 28we are of God, and that 29the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20And 30we know that 31the Son of God has come, and has 32given us understanding so that we may know 33Him who is true; and we 34are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. 35This is the true God and 36eternal life.

2137Little children, guard yourselves from 38idols.
