1 John 5:12-21

Listen to 1 John 5:12-21

12 ¹He 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 ²These things I have written to you who ³believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have ⁴eternal life.

14 This is ⁵the confidence which we have before Him, that, ⁶if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever * we ask, ⁷we 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, ⁸he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. ⁹There is a sin leading to death; ¹⁰I do not say that he should make request for this.

17 ¹¹All unrighteousness is sin, and ¹²there is a sin not leading to death.

18 ¹³We know that ¹⁴no * one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God ¹⁵keeps him, and ¹⁶the evil one does not ¹⁷touch him.

19 ¹⁸We know that ¹⁹we are of God, and that ²⁰the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 And ²¹we know that ²²the Son of God has come, and has ²³given us understanding so that we may know ²⁴Him who is true; and we ²⁵are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ²⁶This is the true God and ²⁷eternal life.

21 ²⁸Little children, guard yourselves from ²⁹idols.
