1 John 5:10-21

10The one who believesG4100 in the SonG5207 of GodG2316 1hasG2192 the testimonyG3141 in himselfG846; the one who does not believeG4100 GodG2316 has 2madeG4160 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 3eternalG166 lifeG2222, and 4thisG3778 lifeG2222 is in His SonG5207. 125He who hasG2192 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the lifeG2222; he who does not haveG2192 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 does not haveG2192 the lifeG2222.

136TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have writtenG1125 to you who 7believeG4100 in the nameG3686 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, soG2443 that you may knowG3609 that you haveG2192 8eternalG166 lifeG2222. 14ThisG3778 is 9the confidenceG3954 whichG3739 we haveG2192 10beforeG4314 Him, that, 11ifG1437 we askG154 anythingG5100 accordingG2596 to His willG2307, He hearsG191 us. 15And ifG1437 we knowG3609 that He hearsG191 us in whateverG3739G1437 we askG154, 12we knowG3609 that we haveG2192 the requestsG155 whichG3739 we have askedG154 from Him.

16IfG1437 anyoneG5100 seesG3708 his brotherG80 13committingG264 a sinG266 not leading to deathG2288, 14he shall askG154 and 15God will for him giveG1325 lifeG2222 to thoseG3588 who commitG264 sinG264 not leading to deathG2288. 16There is a sinG266 leading to deathG2288; 17I do not sayG3004 that he should makeG2065 requestG2065 for thisG1565. 1718AllG3956 unrighteousnessG93 is sinG266, and 19there is a sinG266 not leading to deathG2288.

1820We knowG3609 that 21noG3956G3756 oneG3956 who is 22bornG1080 of GodG2316 sinsG264; but He who was 23bornG1080 of GodG2316 24keepsG5083 him, and 25the evilG4190 oneG4190 does not 26touchG681 him. 1927We knowG3609 that 28we are of GodG2316, and that 29the wholeG3650 worldG2889 liesG2749 in the power of the evilG4190 oneG4190. 20And 30we knowG3609 that 31the SonG5207 of GodG2316 hasG2240 comeG2240, and has 32givenG1325 us understandingG1271 soG2443 that we may knowG1097 33Him whoG228 is trueG228; and we 34are in Him whoG228 is trueG228, in His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 35ThisG3778 is the trueG228 GodG2316 and 36eternalG166 lifeG2222.
