1Jo 5 | ABEn | STEP | Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ, [ 2 by 3 God 1 is engendered]; and every one loving the one engendering, loves also the one being engendered by him.

1 John 5

CHAPTER 5 Love God

1 Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ, [²by ³God ¹is engendered]; and every one loving the one engendering, loves also the one being engendered by him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God, and [²his commandments ¹should keep]. 3 For this is the love of God, that the commandments of his we should keep; and his commandments [²heavy ¹are not]. 4 For every one being engendered by God overcomes the world; and this is the victory in the overcoming the world -- the belief of ours. 5 Who is the one overcoming the world, unless it be the one believing that Jesus is the son of God? 6 This is the one coming by water and blood -- Jesus the Christ; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood; and the spirit is the one witnessing, for the spirit is the truth. 7 For three are the ones bearing witness in the heaven -- the father, and the word and the holy spirit; and the three in one are. And three are the ones witnessing upon the earth – 8 the spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three [²in ³the ⁴one ¹are]. 9 If the witness of the men we receive, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which he has witnessed concerning his son. 10 The one believing in the son of God, he has the witness in himself; the one not believing in God, [³a liar ¹has made ²him], for he has not believed in the witness which [²has witnessed ¹God] concerning his son. 11 And this is the witness -- that [⁵life ⁴eternal ²gave ³to us ¹God], and this life [²in ³his son ¹is]. 12 The one having the son, has the life; the one not having the son of God, [³life ¹does not ²have]. 13 These things I wrote to you, to the ones believing in the name of the son of God; that you should know that [³life ²eternal ¹you have], and that you should believe in the name of the son of God.

Asking in Confidence

14 And this is the confidence which we have with him, that if anything we should ask according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us, what ever we should ask, we know that we have the requests which we ask from him. 16 If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and he shall give to him life, to the ones not sinning to death. There is sin to death; not concerning that do I say that he should ask. 17 Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is sin not to death. 18 We know that every one being engendered of God does not sin; but the one engendered of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 19 We know that [²of ³God ¹we are], and the [²world ¹whole ⁴to ⁵the ⁶evil one ³is situated]. 20 And we know that the son of God has come, and has given to us thought that we should know the one true; and we are in the one true, in his son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God, and the life eternal. 21 Sons, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
