Overcoming the World

1 aEveryone who believes that bJesus is the Christ has been born of God, and ceveryone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 dBy this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3For ethis is the love of God, that we fkeep his commandments. And ghis commandments are not burdensome. 4For heveryone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— iour faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes jthat Jesus is the Son of God?
