New International Version NIV
2 In this thing we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.
2
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
3 For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments be not heavy [and his commandments be not grievous].
3
In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
4 For all thing that is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.
4
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5 And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
5
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
