NASB Bible

1 John 5

Overcoming the World

1

 aWhoever believes that Jesus is the  1Christ is  2 bborn of God, and whoever loves the  3Father  cloves the child  2born of Him.

2

 aBy this we know that  bwe love the children of God, when we love God and  1observe His commandments.

3

For  athis is the love of God, that we  bkeep His commandments; and  cHis commandments are not burdensome.

4

For whatever is  1 aborn of God  bovercomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

5

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who  abelieves that Jesus is the Son of God?

6

This is the One who came  aby water and blood, Jesus Christ; not  1with the water only, but  1with the water and  1with the blood. It is  bthe Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7

For there are  athree that testify:

8

 1the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are  2in agreement.

9

 aIf we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that  bHe has testified concerning His Son.

10

The one who believes in the Son of God  ahas the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has  bmade Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

11

And the testimony is this, that God has given us  aeternal life, and  bthis life is in His Son.

12

 aHe who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

This Is Written That You May Know

13

 aThese things I have written to you who  bbelieve in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have  ceternal life.

14

This is  athe confidence which we have  1before Him, that,  bif we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15

And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask,  awe know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

16

If anyone sees his brother  1committing a sin not leading to death,  ahe shall ask and  2God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death.  bThere is a sin leading to death;  cI do not say that he should make request for this.

17

 aAll unrighteousness is sin, and  bthere is a sin not leading to death.

18

 aWe know that  bno one who is  1born of God sins; but He who was  1born of God  ckeeps him, and  dthe evil one does not  etouch him.

19

 aWe know that  bwe are of God, and that  cthe whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20

And  awe know that  bthe Son of God has come, and has  cgiven us understanding so that we may know  dHim who is true; and we  eare in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.  fThis is the true God and  geternal life.

21

 aLittle children, guard yourselves from  bidols.
