1 John 5
1. Whosoever believeth * that Jesus is * the Christ is born * of God: and every one that loveth * him that begat * loveth * him also that is begotten * of him.
2. By this we know * that we love * the children of God, when we love * God, and keep * his commandments.
3. For this is * the love of God, that we keep * his commandments: and his commandments are * not grievous.
4. For whatsoever is born * of God overcometh * the world: and this is * the victory that overcometh * the world, even our faith.
5. Who is * he that overcometh * the world, but he that believeth * that Jesus is * the Son of God?
6. This is * he that came * by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is * the Spirit that beareth witness * , because the Spirit is * truth.
7. For there are * three that bear record * in heaven, the Father,the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are * one.
8. And there are * three that bear witness * in earth, the Spirit,and the water, and the blood: and these three agree * in one.
9. If we receive * the witness of men, the witness of God is * greater: for this is * the witness of God which he hath testified * of his Son.
10. He that believeth * on the Son of God hath * the witness in himself: he that believeth * not God hath made * him a liar; because he believeth * not the record that God gave * of his Son.
11. And this is * the record,that God hath given * to us eternal life, and this life is * in his Son.
12. He that hath * the Son hath * life; and he that hath * not the Son of God hath * not life.
13. These things have I written * unto you that believe * on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know * that ye have * eternal life, and that ye may believe * on the name of the Son of God.
14. And this is * the confidence that we have * in him,that, if we ask * any thing according to his will, he heareth * us:
15. And if we know * that he hear * us, whatsoever we ask * , we know * that we have * the petitions that we desired * of him.
16. If any man see * his brother sin * a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask * , and he shall give * him life for them that sin * not unto death. There is * a sin unto death: I do not say * that he shall pray * for it.
17. All unrighteousness is * sin:and there is * a sin not unto death.
18. We know * that whosoever is born * of God sinneth * not; but he that is begotten * of God keepeth * himself, and that wicked one toucheth * him not.
19. And we know * that we are * of God, and the whole world lieth * in wickedness.
20. And we know * that the Son of God is come * , and hath given * us an understanding, that we may 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.
21. Little children, keep * yourselves from idols. Amen.
