1 John 5:13-21

131TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have writtenG1125 to you who 2believeG4100 in the nameG3686 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 you may knowG3609 that you haveG2192 3eternalG166 lifeG2222. 14ThisG3778 is 4the confidenceG3954 whichG3739 we haveG2192 5beforeG4314 Him, that, 6ifG1437 we askG154 anythingG5100 accordingG2596 to His willG2307, He hearsG191 us. 15And ifG1437 we knowG3609 that He hearsG191 us in whateverG3739G1437 we askG154, 7we knowG3609 that we haveG2192 the requestsG155 whichG3739 we have askedG154 from Him.

16IfG1437 anyoneG5100 seesG3708 his brotherG80 or sister 8committingG264 a sinG266 not leading to deathG2288, 9he shall askG154 and 10God will, for him, giveG1325 lifeG2222 to thoseG3588 who commitG264 sinG264 not leading to deathG2288. 11There is sinG266 leading to deathG2288; 12I am not sayingG3004 that he should askG2065 about thatG1565. 1713AllG3956 unrighteousnessG93 is sinG266, and 14there is sinG266 not leading to deathG2288.

1815We knowG3609 that 16noG3956G3756 oneG3956 who has been bornG1080 of GodG2316 17sinsG264; but He who was bornG1080 of GodG2316 18keepsG5083 him, and 19the evilG4190 oneG4190 does not 20touchG681 him. 1921We knowG3609 that 22we are of GodG2316, and that 23the wholeG3650 worldG2889 liesG2749 in the power of the evilG4190 oneG4190. 20And 24we knowG3609 that 25the SonG5207 of GodG2316 hasG2240 comeG2240, and has 26givenG1325 us understandingG1271 soG2443 thatG2443 we may knowG1097 27Him whoG3588 is trueG228; and we 28are in Him whoG3588 is trueG228, in His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 29ThisG3778 is the trueG228 GodG2316 and 30eternalG166 lifeG2222.

2131LittleG5040 childrenG5040, guardG5442 yourselvesG1438 from 32idolsG1497.
