1 John 5

Overcoming the World

11Everyone who believes that Jesus is the 2Christ has been 3born of God, and everyone who loves the 4Father 5loves the child born of Him. 26By this we know that 7we love the children of God, when we love God and 8follow His commandments. 3For 9this is the love of God, that we 10keep His commandments; and 11His commandments are not burdensome. 4For 12whoever has been 13born of God 14overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

5Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who 15believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is the One who came 16by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not 17with the water only, but 18with the water and 19with the blood. It is 20the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are 21three that testify: 822the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are 23in agreement. 924If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that 25He has testified concerning His Son. 10The one who believes in the Son of God 26has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has 27made 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 28eternal life, and 29this life is in His Son. 1230The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

This Is Written That You May Know

1331These things I have written to you who 32believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have 33eternal life. 14This is 34the confidence which we have 35before Him, that, 36if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, 37we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

16If anyone sees his brother or sister 38committing a sin not leading to death, 39he shall ask and 40God will, for him, give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. 41There is sin leading to death; 42I am not saying that he should ask about that. 1743All unrighteousness is sin, and 44there is sin not leading to death.

1845We know that 46no one who has been born of God 47sins; but He who was born of God 48keeps him, and 49the evil one does not 50touch him. 1951We know that 52we are of God, and that 53the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20And 54we know that 55the Son of God has come, and has 56given us understanding so that we may know 57Him who is true; and we 58are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. 59This is the true God and 60eternal life.

2161Little children, guard yourselves from 62idols.
