1 John 5:3-12

3For 1thisG3778 is the loveG26 of GodG2316, that we 2keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785; and 3His commandmentsG1785 are not burdensomeG926. 4For 4whoeverG3956 has been 5bornG1080 of GodG2316 6overcomesG3528 the worldG2889; and thisG3778 is the victoryG3529 that has overcomeG3528 the worldG2889: our faithG4102.

5WhoG5101 is the one who overcomesG3528 the worldG2889, but the one who 7believesG4100 that JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316? 6ThisG3778 is the One who cameG2064 8by waterG5204 and bloodG129, JesusG2424 ChristG5547; not 9with the waterG5204 onlyG3440, but 10with the waterG5204 and 11with the bloodG129. It is 12the SpiritG4151 who testifiesG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 is the truthG225. 7For thereG1510 are 13threeG5140 that testifyG3140: 8 14the SpiritG4151 and the waterG5204 and the bloodG129; and the threeG5140 are 15in agreementG1520. 9 16IfG1487 we receiveG2983 the testimonyG3141 of peopleG444, the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173; for the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is thisG3778, that 17He has testifiedG3140 concerningG4012 His SonG5207. 10The one who believesG4100 in the SonG5207 of GodG2316 18hasG2192 the testimonyG3141 in himselfG846; the one who does not believeG4100 GodG2316 has 19madeG4160 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 20eternalG166 lifeG2222, and 21thisG3778 lifeG2222 is in His SonG5207. 12 22The one who hasG2192 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the lifeG2222; the one who does not haveG2192 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 does not haveG2192 the lifeG2222.
