1 John 5:10-20

Listen to 1 John 5:10-20

10 The one who believes in the Son of God ¹has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has ²made 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 ³eternal life, and ⁴this life is in His Son.

12 ⁵He 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 ⁶These things I have written to you who ⁷believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have ⁸eternal life.

14 This is ⁹the confidence which we have before Him, that, ¹⁰if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever * we ask, ¹¹we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, ¹²he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. ¹³There is a sin leading to death; ¹⁴I do not say that he should make request for this.

17 ¹⁵All unrighteousness is sin, and ¹⁶there is a sin not leading to death.

18 ¹⁷We know that ¹⁸no * one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God ¹⁹keeps him, and ²⁰the evil one does not ²¹touch him.

19 ²²We know that ²³we are of God, and that ²⁴the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 And ²⁵we know that ²⁶the Son of God has come, and has ²⁷given us understanding so that we may know ²⁸Him who is true; and we ²⁹are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ³⁰This is the true God and ³¹eternal life.
