1 John 5 ©
1 He that loveth God loveth God's children, and keepeth his commandments. 4 A true faith will enable us to overcome the world. 6 The witnesses of our faith. 11 God hath given to believers eternal life through his Son: 14 and will hear and grant their petitions made according to his will. 18 God's children are distinguished from the world by abstaining from sin, and by a right knowledge. 21 A caution against idolatry.
WHOSOEVER abelieveth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and bevery one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
gWho is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
hThis is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And iit is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
He that believeth on the Son of God rhath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God shath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
bAnd if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
cIf any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, dhe shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: eI do not say that he shall pray for it.
And lwe know that the Son of God is come, mand hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, nand we are in ohim that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. pThis is the true God, and eternal qlife.
