1 John 5:7-17

7 There are three witnesses -

8 the Spirit, the water and the blood - and these three are in agreement.

9 If we accept human witness, God's witness is stronger, because it is the witness which God has given about his Son.

10 Those who keep trusting in the Son of God have this witness in them. Those who do not keep trusting God have made him out to be a liar, because they have not trusted in the witness which God has given about his Son.

11 And this is the witness: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God do not have the life.

13 I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life - you who keep trusting in the person and power of the Son of God.

14 This is the confidence we have in his presence: if we ask anything that accords with his will, he hears us.

15 And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - then we know that we have what we have asked from him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask; and God will give him life for those whose sinning does not lead to death. There is sin that does lead to death; I am not saying he should pray about that.

17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
