The First Epistle of John
5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and
whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 5:2Hereby
we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his
commandments. 5:3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not grievous. 5:4For whatsoever is begotten of God
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even
our faith. 5:5And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that
Jesus is the Son of God? 5:6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus
Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. 5:7And it is
the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 5:8For there are three
who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in
one. 5:9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the
witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son. 5:10He that
believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God
hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath
borne concerning his Son. 5:11And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son. 5:12He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not
the Son of God hath not the life. 5:13These things have I written unto you, that ye
may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the
Son of God. 5:14And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask
anything according to his will, he heareth us: 5:15and if we know that he heareth us
whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of
him. 5:16If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and
God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death:
not concerning this do I say that he should make request. 5:17All unrighteousness is
sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 5:18We know that whosoever is begotten of
God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil
one toucheth him not. 5:19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth
in the evil one. 5:20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even
in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 5:21My little children,
guard yourselves from idols.
