1  Everyone that believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone that loves Him that begot also loves him that is begotten of Him.

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.

1  Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God.

2  By this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments.

2  In this way, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments.

3  For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

4  because everything having been born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world-your faith.

4  For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, [even] our faith.

4  For whoever is born of God triumphs over the world: and this is the victory which conquers the world, even our faith.

5  Who is he that overcomes the world, if not he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6  This is He who came through water and blood-Jesus Christ, not only by the water, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is He[ ]who witnesses, because the Spirit is the truth.

6  This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.

7  For there are three that bear witness

7  And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

7  For there are Three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One.

8  the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

8  For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.

8  And there are three who give testimony on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three are one.

9  If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; because this is the testimony of God which He has testified concerning His Son.

9  If we accept the testimony of men, then the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater: that he has testified about his Son.

10  He that believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he that does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning His Son.

10  He 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.

10  He who believes on the Son of God has this testimony in himself: he who does not believe God, has made him a liar; because he does not believe the record that God gave of his Son.

11  And this is the testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

12  He that has the Son has life; he that does not have the Son of God does not have life.

12  Whoever has the Son, has Life. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life.

12  He who believes on the Son has life; he who does not believe on the Son of God does not have life.

13  These things I write to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God.

13  I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

13  These things I have written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life.

14  And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15  And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

15  And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.

15  For if we beseech him to hear us concerning the things that we ask of him, we are assured that we have already received from him those things that we desire.

16  If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not [leading] to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is a sin [leading] to death. I do not say that he should ask about that.

16  Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin.

16  If any man see his brother commit a sin which is not worthy of death, let him ask and Eternal Life. 1 John 5 life will be granted him, if he has not committed a sin worthy of death. There is a sin worthy of death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17  All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not [leading] to death.

17  All that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto death.

18  We know that everyone begotten of God does not sin; but he that was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil [one] does not touch him.

19  We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies [under the sway] of the evil [one].

19  And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.

20  And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true; and we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

21  Little children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.

21  [My] little children, guard yourselves from idols.

21  My children, keep yourselves from idols.
