Whosoever{G3956} believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} that{G3754} Jesus{G2424} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the Christ{G5547} is born{G1080}{(G5769)} of{G1537} God{G2316}: and{G2532} every one{G3956} that loveth{G25}{(G5723)} him that begat{G1080}{(G5660)} loveth{G25}{(G5719)}{(G5725)} him also{G2532} that is begotten{G1080}{(G5772)} of{G1537} him{G846}.

By{G1722} this{G5129} we know{G1097}{(G5719)} that{G3754} we love{G25}{(G5719)} the children{G5043} of God{G2316}, when{G3752} we love{G25}{(G5719)} God{G2316}, and{G2532} keep{G5083}{(G5725)} his{G846} commandments{G1785}.

For{G1063} this{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the love{G26} of God{G2316}, that{G2443} we keep{G5083}{(G5725)} his{G846} commandments{G1785}: and{G2532} his{G846} commandments{G1785} are{G1526}{(G5748)} not{G3756} grievous{G926}.

For{G3754} whatsoever{G3956} is born{G1080}{(G5772)} of{G1537} God{G2316} overcometh{G3528}{(G5719)} the world{G2889}: and{G2532} this{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the victory{G3529} that overcometh{G3528}{(G5660)} the world{G2889}, even our{G2257} faith{G4102}.

Who{G5101} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he that overcometh{G3528}{(G5723)} the world{G2889}, but{G1508} he that believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} that{G3754} Jesus{G2424} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the Son{G5207} of God{G2316}?

This{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he that came{G2064}{(G5631)} 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}{(G5748)} the Spirit{G4151} that beareth witness{G3140}{(G5723)}, because{G3754} the Spirit{G4151} is{G2076}{(G5748)} truth{G225}.

For{G3754} there are{G1526}{(G5748)} three{G5140} that bear record{G3140}{(G5723)} 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}{(G5748)} one{G1520}.

And{G2532} there are{G1526}{(G5748)} three{G5140} that bear witness{G3140}{(G5723)} in{G1722} earth{G1093}, the Spirit{G4151}, and{G2532} the water{G5204}, and{G2532} the blood{G129}: and{G2532} these three{G5140} agree{G1526}{(G5748)} in{G1519} one{G1520}.

If{G1487} we receive{G2983}{(G5719)} the witness{G3141} of men{G444}, the witness{G3141} of God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} greater{G3187}: for{G3754} this{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the witness{G3141} of God{G2316} which{G3739} he hath testified{G3140}{(G5758)} of{G4012} his{G846} Son{G5207}.

He that believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} on{G1519} the Son{G5207} of God{G2316} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} the witness{G3141} in{G1722} himself{G1438}: he that believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} not{G3361} God{G2316} hath made{G4160}{(G5758)} him{G846} a liar{G5583}; because{G3754} he believeth{G4100}{(G5758)} not{G3756}{G1519} the record{G3141} that{G3739} God{G2316} gave{G3140}{(G5758)} of{G4012} his{G846} Son{G5207}.

And{G2532} this{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the record{G3141}, that{G3754} God{G2316} hath given{G1325}{(G5656)} to us{G2254} eternal{G166} life{G2222}, and{G2532} this{G3778} life{G2222} is{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1722} his{G846} Son{G5207}.

He that hath{G2192}{(G5723)} the Son{G5207} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} life{G2222}; and he that hath{G2192}{(G5723)} not{G3361} the Son{G5207} of God{G2316} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756} life{G2222}.

These things{G5023} have I written{G1125}{(G5656)} unto you{G5213} that believe{G4100}{(G5723)} on{G1519} the name{G3686} of the Son{G5207} of God{G2316}; that{G2443} ye may know{G1492}{(G5762)} that ye{G3754} have{G2192}{(G5719)} eternal{G166} life{G2222}, and{G2532} that{G2443} ye may believe{G4100}{(G5725)} on{G1519} the name{G3686} of the Son{G5207} of God{G2316}.

And{G2532} this{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the confidence{G3954} that{G3739} we have{G2192}{(G5719)} in{G4314} him{G846}, that{G3754}, if{G1437} we ask{G154}{(G5735)} any thing{G5100} according{G2596} to his{G846} will{G2307}, he heareth{G191}{(G5719)} us{G2257}:

And{G2532} if{G1437} we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} he hear{G191}{(G5719)} us{G2257}, whatsoever{G3739}{G302} we ask{G154}{(G5735)}, we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} we have{G2192}{(G5719)} the petitions{G155} that{G3739} we desired{G154}{(G5758)} of{G3844} him{G846}.

If{G1437} any man{G5100} see{G1492}{(G5632)} his{G846} brother{G80} sin{G264}{(G5723)} a sin{G266} which is not{G3361} unto{G4314} death{G2288}, he shall ask{G154}{(G5692)}, and{G2532} he shall give{G1325}{(G5692)} him{G846} life{G2222} for them that sin{G264}{(G5723)} not{G3361} unto{G4314} death{G2288}. There is{G2076}{(G5748)} a sin{G266} unto{G4314} death{G2288}: I do not{G3756} say{G3004}{(G5719)} that{G2443} he shall pray{G2065}{(G5661)} for{G4012} it{G1565}.

All{G3956} unrighteousness{G93} is{G2076}{(G5748)} sin{G266}: and{G2532} there is{G2076}{(G5748)} a sin{G266} not{G3756} unto{G4314} death{G2288}.

We know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} whosoever{G3956} is born{G1080}{(G5772)} of{G1537} God{G2316} sinneth{G264}{(G5719)} not{G3756}; but{G235} he that is begotten{G1080}{(G5685)} of{G1537} God{G2316} keepeth{G5083}{(G5719)} himself{G1438}, and{G2532} that wicked one{G4190} toucheth{G680}{(G5731)} him{G846} not{G3756}.

And we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} we are{G2070}{(G5748)} of{G1537} God{G2316}, and{G2532} the whole{G3650} world{G2889} lieth{G2749}{(G5736)} in{G1722} wickedness{G4190}.

And{G1161} we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} the Son{G5207} of God{G2316} is come{G2240}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} hath given{G1325}{(G5758)} us{G2254} an understanding{G1271}, that{G2443} we may know{G1097}{(G5725)} him that is true{G228}, and{G2532} we are{G2070}{(G5748)} in{G1722} him that is true{G228}, even in{G1722} his{G846} Son{G5207} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}. This{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the true{G228} God{G2316}, and{G2532} eternal{G166} life{G2222}.

Little children{G5040}, keep{G5442}{(G5657)} yourselves{G1438} from{G575} idols{G1497}. Amen{G281}.
