1 John 5

5Whosoever ^abelieveth that ^bJesus is the Christ is ^cborn of God: and ^devery one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. ²By this we know that we love ^ethe children of God, when we love God, and ^fkeep his commandments. ³For ^gthis is the love of God, that we ^fkeep his commandments: and ^hhis commandments are not grievous. ⁴For whatsoever is born of God ⁱovercometh the world: and ^jthis is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵Who is he that ⁱovercometh the world, but ^jhe that believeth ^kthat Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶This is he that came ^lby water and ^lblood, even Jesus Christ; not ^mby water only, but by water and blood. And ⁿit is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. ⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. ⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, ^othe spirit, and ^lthe water, and ^lthe blood: and these three agree in one. ^9pIf we receive the witness of men, ^qthe witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God ^rwhich he hath testified of his Son. ¹⁰He that believeth on the Son of God ^shath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God ^thath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. ¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us ^ueternal life, and ^vthis life is in his Son. ^12wHe that ^xhath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

^13yThese things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have ^ueternal life, and that ye may ^zbelieve on the name of the Son of God. ¹⁴And this is the ^aconfidence that we have ^||in him, that, ^bif we ask any thing ^caccording to his will, he heareth us: ¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, ^dwe know that ^bwe have the petitions that we desired of him. ¹⁶If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and ^ehe shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. ^fThere is a sin unto death: ^gI do not say that he shall pray for it. ¹⁷All ^hunrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. ¹⁸We know that ⁱwhosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God ^kkeepeth himself, and ^lthat wicked one toucheth him not. ¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and ^mthe whole world lieth in ^lwickedness. ²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and ⁿhath given us an understanding, that we may know ^ohim that is true, and we are in ^ohim that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. ^pThis is ^othe true God, and ^qeternal life. ²¹Little children, ^rkeep yourselves from idols. Amen.
