1 John 5 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been begotten by God; and every one who loves the begetter, loves also the begotten by him.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been begotten by God; and every one who loves the begetter, loves also the begotten by him. ² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome; ⁴ because, every one that is begotten by God, overcomes the world. And this is the victory which overcomes the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶ This is her who came by water and blood, even Jesus the Christ; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. ⁷ And it is the Spirit who testified; because the Spirit is the truth. ⁸ Indeed, there are three who bear testimony: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one. ⁹ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Now, this is the testimony of God, which he has testified concerning his Son. ¹⁰ (He who believes on the Son of God, has the testimony in himself. He who believes not God, has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony, which God has testified concerning his Son.) ¹¹ Now this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son, has this life; he who has not the Son of God, has not this life. ¹³ These things I have written to you, that you may know that you have eternal life-that you may continue to believe on the name of the Son of God. ¹⁴ And this is the confidence which we have with him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hearkens to us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hearkens to us, concerning whatever we ask; we know that we shall obtain the petitions which we have asked from him. ¹⁶ If any one see his brother sinning a sin, not to death, let him ask, and he will grant to him life, for those who sin not to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say concerning it, that you should ask. ¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin: but there is a sin not to death. ¹⁸ We know that whoever has been begotten by God, does not sin; but he who is begotten by God, guards himself, and the wicked on does not lay hold on him. ¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies under the wicked one. ²⁰ Moreover, we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we might know him that is true; and we are in him that is true-in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life. ²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
