1 John Chapter 5 (ESV)
undefined
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.
undefined
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
undefined
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
undefined
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.
undefined
Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
undefined
This is he who came by water and blood — Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
undefined
For there are three that testify:
undefined
the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
undefined
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.
undefined
Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.
undefined
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
undefined
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
undefined
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
undefined
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
undefined
And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
undefined
If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life — to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.
undefined
All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
undefined
We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
undefined
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
undefined
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
undefined
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
