1Whosoever[G3956]believeth[G4100]that[G3754]Jesus[G2424]is[G2076] the Christ[G5547]is[G2076]born[G1080]of[G1537]God[G2316]: and[G2532] every one[G3956]that[G3754]loveth[G25]him[G846]that[G3754]begat[G1080]loveth[G25]him[G846]also[G2532]that[G3754]is[G2076]begotten[G1080]of[G1537]him[G846].
2By[G1722]this[G5129] we know[G1097]that[G3754] we love[G25] the children[G5043] of God[G2316], when[G3752] we love[G25]God[G2316], and[G2532]keep[G5083]his[G846]commandments[G1785].
3For[G1063]this[G3778]is[G2076] the love[G26] of God[G2316], that[G2443] we keep[G5083]his[G846]commandments[G1785]: and[G2532]his[G846]commandments[G1785]are[G1526]not[G3756]grievous[G926].
4For[G3754]whatsoever[G3956]is[G2076]born[G1080]of[G1537]God[G2316]overcometh[G3528] the world[G2889]: and[G2532]this[G3778]is[G2076] the victory[G3529] that overcometh[G3528] the world[G2889], even our[G2257]faith[G4102].
5Who[G5101]is[G2076] he that[G3754]overcometh[G3528] the world[G2889], but[G1508] he that[G3754]believeth[G4100]that[G3754]Jesus[G2424]is[G2076] the Son[G5207] of God?[G2316]
6This[G3778]is[G2076] he that came[G2064]by[G1223]water[G5204]and[G2532]blood[G129], even Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]; not[G3756]by[G1722]water[G5204]only[G3440], but[G235]by[G1722]water[G5204]and[G2532]blood[G129]. And[G2532] it is[G2076] the Spirit[G4151] that beareth witness[G3140], because[G3754] the Spirit[G4151]is[G2076]truth[G225].
7For[G3754] there are[G1526]three[G5140] that bear record[G3140]in[G1722]heaven[G3772], the Father[G3962], the Word[G3056], and[G2532] the Holy[G40]Ghost[G4151]: and[G2532]these[G3778]three[G5140]are[G1526]one[G1520].
8And[G2532] there are[G1526]three[G5140] that bear witness[G3140]in[G1722]earth[G1093], the Spirit[G4151], and[G2532] the water[G5204], and[G2532] the blood[G129]: and[G2532] these three[G5140]agree[G1526]in[G1519]one[G1520].
9If[G1487] we receive[G2983] the witness[G3141]of[G4012]men[G444], the witness[G3141]of[G4012]God[G2316]is[G2076]greater[G3187]: for[G3754]this[G3778]is[G2076] the witness[G3141]of[G4012]God[G2316]which[G3739] he hath testified[G3140]of[G4012]his[G846]Son[G5207].
10
He that[G3739]believeth[G4100]on[G1519] the Son[G5207]of[G4012]God[G2316]hath[G2192] the witness[G3141]in[G1722]himself[G1438]: he that[G3739]believeth[G4100]not[G3361]God[G2316]hath[G2192]made[G4160]him[G846] a liar[G5583]; because[G3754] he believeth[G4100]not[G3756] the record[G3141]that[G3739]God[G2316]gave[G3140]of[G4012]his[G846]Son[G5207].
11And[G2532]this[G3778]is[G2076] the record[G3141], that[G3754]God[G2316] hath given[G1325] to us[G2254]eternal[G166]life[G2222], and[G2532]this[G3778]life[G2222]is[G2076]in[G1722]his[G846]Son[G5207].
12
He that hath[G2192] the Son[G5207]hath[G2192]life[G2222]; and he that hath[G2192]not[G3361] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316]hath[G2192]not[G3756]life[G2222].
13
These things[G5023]have[G2192] I written[G1125] unto you[G5213]that[G2443]believe[G4100]on[G1519] the name[G3686] of the Son[G5207] of God[G2316]; that[G2443]ye[G3754] may know[G1492]that[G2443]ye[G3754]have[G2192]eternal[G166]life[G2222], and[G2532]that[G2443]ye[G3754] may believe[G4100]on[G1519] the name[G3686] of the Son[G5207] of God[G2316].
14And[G2532]this[G3778]is[G2076] the confidence[G3954]that[G3739] we have[G2192]in[G4314]him[G846], that[G3754], if[G1437] we ask[G154] any thing[G5100]according[G2596] to his[G846]will[G2307], he heareth[G191]us[G2257]:
15And[G2532]if[G1437] we know[G1492]that[G3754] he hear[G191]us[G2257], whatsoever[G3739] we ask[G154], we know[G1492]that[G3739] we have[G2192] the petitions[G155]that[G3739] we desired[G154]of[G3844]him[G846].
16If[G1437] any man[G5100]see[G1492]his[G846]brother[G80]sin[G264] a sin[G266] which is[G2076]not[G3361]unto[G4314]death[G2288], he shall ask[G154], and[G2532] he shall give[G1325]him[G846]life[G2222]for[G4012] them that[G2443]sin[G266]not[G3756]unto[G4314]death[G2288]. There is[G2076] a sin[G266]unto[G4314]death[G2288]: I do not[G3756]say[G3004]that[G2443] he shall pray[G2065]for[G4012]it[G1565].
17All[G3956]unrighteousness[G93]is[G2076]sin[G266]: and[G2532] there is[G2076] a sin[G266]not[G3756]unto[G4314]death[G2288].
18
We know[G1492]that[G3754]whosoever[G3956] is born[G1080]of[G1537]God[G2316]sinneth[G264]not[G3756]; but[G235] he that[G3754] is begotten[G1080]of[G1537]God[G2316]keepeth[G5083]himself[G1438], and[G2532]that[G3754] wicked one[G4190]toucheth[G680]him[G846]not[G3756].
19And[G2532] we know[G1492]that[G3754] we are[G2070]of[G1537]God[G2316], and[G2532] the whole[G3650]world[G2889]lieth[G2749]in[G1722]wickedness[G4190].
20And[G1161] we know[G1492]that[G3754] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316]is[G2076]come[G2240], and[G2532] hath given[G1325]us[G2254] an understanding[G1271], that[G2443] we may know[G1097] him that[G2443]is[G2076]true[G228], and[G2532] we are[G2070]in[G1722] him that[G2443]is[G2076]true[G228], even in[G1722]his[G846]Son[G5207]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]. This[G3778]is[G2076] the true[G228]God[G2316], and[G2532]eternal[G166]life[G2222].
21
Little children[G5040], keep[G5442]yourselves[G1438]from[G575]idols[G1497]. Amen[G281].
