1 John 5
1WhosoeverG3956 believethG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG1510 the ChristG3588G5547 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316: andG2532 every oneG3956 thatG3588 lovethG25 himG3588 that begatG1080 lovethG25 himG3588 alsoG2532 that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 himG846. 2ByG1722 thisG3778 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we loveG25 the childrenG3588G5043 of GodG3588G2316, whenG3752 we loveG25 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785. 3ForG1063 thisG3778 isG1510 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316, thatG2443 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785: andG2532 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785 areG1510 notG3756 grievousG926.
4ForG3754 whatsoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316 overcomethG3528 the worldG3588G2889: andG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 the victoryG3588G3529 that overcomethG3528 the worldG3588G2889, even ourG1473 faithG3588G4102. 5WhoG5101 isG1510 he that overcomethG3528 the worldG3588G2889, butG1487 he that believethG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316?
6ThisG3778 isG1510 he that cameG2064 byG1223 waterG5204 andG2532 bloodG129, even JesusG2424 ChristG3588G5547; notG3756 byG1722 waterG3588G5204 onlyG3440, butG235 byG1722 waterG3588G5204 andG2532 bloodG3588G129. AndG2532 it isG1510 the SpiritG3588G4151 that beareth witnessG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG3588G4151 isG1510 truthG3588G225. 7ForG3754 there areG1510 threeG5140 that bear recordG3140 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772, the FatherG3588G3962, the WordG3588G3056, andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: andG2532 theseG3778 threeG5140 areG1510 oneG1520. 8AndG2532 there areG1510 threeG5140 that bear witnessG3140 inG1722 earthG3588G1093, the SpiritG3588G4151, andG2532 the waterG3588G5204, andG2532 the bloodG3588G129: andG2532 theseG3588 threeG5140 agreeG1510 inG1519 oneG1520. 9IfG1487 we receiveG2983 the witnessG3588G3141 of menG3588G444, the witnessG3588G3141 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 greaterG3173: forG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 the witnessG3588G3141 of GodG3588G2316 whichG3739 he hath testifiedG3140 ofG4012 hisG846 SonG3588G5207. 10He that believethG3588G4100 onG1519 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316 hathG2192 the witnessG3588G3141 inG1722 himselfG1438: he that believethG3588G4100 notG3361 GodG3588G2316 hath madeG4160 himG846 a liarG5583; becauseG3754 he believethG4100 notG3756 the recordG3588G3141 thatG3739 GodG3588G2316 gaveG3140 ofG4012 hisG846 SonG3588G5207.
11AndG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 the recordG3588G3141, thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 hath givenG1325 to usG1473 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 thisG3778 lifeG3588G2222 isG1510 inG1722 hisG846 SonG3588G5207. 12He that hathG2192 the SonG3588G5207 hathG2192 lifeG3588G2222; and he that hathG2192 notG3361 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316 hathG2192 notG3756 lifeG3588G2222. 13These thingsG3778 have I writtenG1125 unto youG4771 that believeG4100 onG1519 the nameG3588G3686 of the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316; thatG2443 ye may knowG1492 thatG3754 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 thatG2443 ye may believeG4100 onG1519 the nameG3588G3686 of the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316.
14AndG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 the confidenceG3588G3954 thatG3739 we haveG2192 inG4314 himG846, thatG3754, ifG1437 we askG154 any thingG5100 according toG2596 hisG846 willG3588G2307, he hearethG191 usG1473: 15AndG2532 ifG1437 we knowG1492 thatG3754 he hearG191 usG1473, whatsoeverG3739 we askG154, we knowG1492 thatG3754 we haveG2192 the petitionsG3588G155 thatG3739 we desiredG154 ofG3844 himG846. 16IfG1437 any manG5100 seeG3708 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 sinG264 a sinG266 which is notG3361 untoG4314 deathG2288, he shall askG154, andG2532 he shall giveG1325 himG846 lifeG2222 for them that sinG264 notG3361 untoG4314 deathG2288. There isG1510 a sinG266 untoG4314 deathG2288: I doG3004 notG3756 sayG3004 thatG2443 he shall prayG2065 forG4012 itG1565. 17AllG3956 unrighteousnessG93 isG1510 sinG266: andG2532 there isG1510 a sinG266 notG3756 untoG4314 deathG2288.
18We knowG1492 thatG3754 whosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316 sinnethG264 notG3756; butG235 he that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316 keepethG5083 himselfG1438, andG2532 thatG3588 wicked oneG4190 touchethG680 himG846 notG3756. 19And we knowG1492 thatG3754 we areG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 the wholeG3650 worldG3588G2889 liethG2749 inG1722 wickednessG4190. 20AndG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316 is comeG2240, andG2532 hath givenG1325 usG1473 an understandingG1271, thatG2443 we may knowG1097 him that is trueG228, andG2532 we areG1510 inG1722 him that is trueG228, even inG1722 hisG846 SonG3588G5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. ThisG3778 isG1510 the trueG228 GodG2316, andG2532 eternalG166 lifeG3588G2222.
21Little childrenG5040, keepG5442 yourselvesG1438 fromG575 idolsG3588G1497. AmenG281.
