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. 125The one who hasG2192 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the lifeG2222; the one 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 thatG2443 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 or sister 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 sinG266 leading to deathG2288; 17I am not sayingG3004 that he should askG2065 about thatG1565. 1718AllG3956 unrighteousnessG93 is sinG266, and 19there is sinG266 not leading to deathG2288.
1820We knowG3609 that 21noG3956G3756 oneG3956 who has been bornG1080 of GodG2316 22sinsG264; but He who was bornG1080 of GodG2316 23keepsG5083 him, and 24the evilG4190 oneG4190 does not 25touchG681 him. 1926We knowG3609 that 27we are of GodG2316, and that 28the wholeG3650 worldG2889 liesG2749 in the power of the evilG4190 oneG4190. 20And 29we knowG3609 that 30the SonG5207 of GodG2316 hasG2240 comeG2240, and has 31givenG1325 us understandingG1271 soG2443 thatG2443 we may knowG1097 32Him whoG3588 is trueG228; and we 33are in Him whoG3588 is trueG228, in His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 34ThisG3778 is the trueG228 GodG2316 and 35eternalG166 lifeG2222.
2136LittleG5040 childrenG5040, guardG5442 yourselvesG1438 from 37idolsG1497.
