1 John 5:1-12

1 1WhoeverG3956 believesG4100 that JesusG2424 is the 2ChristG5547 is 3 4bornG1080 of GodG2316, and whoeverG3956 lovesG25 the 5FatherG1080 6lovesG25 the child 7bornG1080 of Him. 2 8By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that 9we loveG25 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316, whenG3752 we loveG25 GodG2316 and 10observeG4160 His commandmentsG1785. 3For 11thisG3778 is the loveG26 of GodG2316, that we 12keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785; and 13His commandmentsG1785 are not burdensomeG926. 4For whateverG3956 is 14 15bornG1080 of GodG2316 16overcomesG3528 the worldG2889; and thisG3778 is the victoryG3529 that has overcomeG3528 the worldG2889--our faithG4102.

5WhoG5101 is the one who overcomesG3528 the worldG2889, but he who 17believesG4100 that JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316? 6ThisG3778 is the One who cameG2064 18by waterG5204 and bloodG129, JesusG2424 ChristG5547; not 19with the waterG5204 onlyG3440, but 20with the waterG5204 and 21with the bloodG129. It is 22the SpiritG4151 who testifiesG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 is the truthG225. 7For thereG1510 are 23threeG5140 that testifyG3140: 8 24the SpiritG4151 and the waterG5204 and the bloodG129; and the threeG5140 are 25in agreementG1520. 9 26IfG1487 we receiveG2983 the testimonyG3141 of menG444, the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173; for the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is thisG3778, that 27He has testifiedG3140 concerningG4012 His SonG5207. 10The one who believesG4100 in the SonG5207 of GodG2316 28hasG2192 the testimonyG3141 in himselfG846; the one who does not believeG4100 GodG2316 has 29madeG4160 Him a liarG5583, becauseG3754 he has not believedG4100 in the testimonyG3141 that GodG2316 has givenG3140 concerningG4012 His SonG5207. 11And the testimonyG3141 is thisG3778, that GodG2316 has givenG1325 us 30eternalG166 lifeG2222, and 31thisG3778 lifeG2222 is in His SonG5207. 12 32He who hasG2192 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the lifeG2222; he who does not haveG2192 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 does not haveG2192 the lifeG2222.
