1 John 5:4-21

4For 1whoeverG3956 has been 2bornG1080 of GodG2316 3overcomesG3528 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 4believesG4100 that JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316? 6ThisG3778 is the One who cameG2064 5by waterG5204 and bloodG129, JesusG2424 ChristG5547; not 6with the waterG5204 onlyG3440, but 7with the waterG5204 and 8with the bloodG129. It is 9the SpiritG4151 who testifiesG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 is the truthG225. 7For thereG1510 are 10threeG5140 that testifyG3140: 811the SpiritG4151 and the waterG5204 and the bloodG129; and the threeG5140 are 12in agreementG1520. 913IfG1487 we receiveG2983 the testimonyG3141 of peopleG444, the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173; for the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is thisG3778, that 14He has testifiedG3140 concerningG4012 His SonG5207. 10The one who believesG4100 in the SonG5207 of GodG2316 15hasG2192 the testimonyG3141 in himselfG846; the one who does not believeG4100 GodG2316 has 16madeG4160 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 17eternalG166 lifeG2222, and 18thisG3778 lifeG2222 is in His SonG5207. 1219The one who hasG2192 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the lifeG2222; the one who does not haveG2192 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 does not haveG2192 the lifeG2222.

1320TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have writtenG1125 to you who 21believeG4100 in the nameG3686 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 you may knowG3609 that you haveG2192 22eternalG166 lifeG2222. 14ThisG3778 is 23the confidenceG3954 whichG3739 we haveG2192 24beforeG4314 Him, that, 25ifG1437 we askG154 anythingG5100 accordingG2596 to His willG2307, He hearsG191 us. 15And ifG1437 we knowG3609 that He hearsG191 us in whateverG3739G1437 we askG154, 26we knowG3609 that we haveG2192 the requestsG155 whichG3739 we have askedG154 from Him.

16IfG1437 anyoneG5100 seesG3708 his brotherG80 or sister 27committingG264 a sinG266 not leading to deathG2288, 28he shall askG154 and 29God will, for him, giveG1325 lifeG2222 to thoseG3588 who commitG264 sinG264 not leading to deathG2288. 30There is sinG266 leading to deathG2288; 31I am not sayingG3004 that he should askG2065 about thatG1565. 1732AllG3956 unrighteousnessG93 is sinG266, and 33there is sinG266 not leading to deathG2288.

1834We knowG3609 that 35noG3956G3756 oneG3956 who has been bornG1080 of GodG2316 36sinsG264; but He who was bornG1080 of GodG2316 37keepsG5083 him, and 38the evilG4190 oneG4190 does not 39touchG681 him. 1940We knowG3609 that 41we are of GodG2316, and that 42the wholeG3650 worldG2889 liesG2749 in the power of the evilG4190 oneG4190. 20And 43we knowG3609 that 44the SonG5207 of GodG2316 hasG2240 comeG2240, and has 45givenG1325 us understandingG1271 soG2443 thatG2443 we may knowG1097 46Him whoG3588 is trueG228; and we 47are in Him whoG3588 is trueG228, in His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 48ThisG3778 is the trueG228 GodG2316 and 49eternalG166 lifeG2222.

2150LittleG5040 childrenG5040, guardG5442 yourselvesG1438 from 51idolsG1497.
