1 John 5 Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him. ² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome, ⁴ because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. ⁷ For there are three that bear witness, ⁸ the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one. ⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son. ¹⁰ He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son. ¹¹ And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life. ¹³ These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye who believe in the name of the Son of God have everlasting life. ¹⁴ And this is the confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us; ¹⁵ and if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked of him. ¹⁶ If any one see his brother sin a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and shall give him life,to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; for that I do not say that he shall pray. ¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not unto death. ¹⁸ We know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not. ¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the dominion of the Evil One. ²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life. ²¹ My children, keep yourselves from idols.
