1 John 5

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

2 In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.

3 For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.

4 Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.

5 Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.

9 If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

10 He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

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

12 He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

13 I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

14 And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

15 And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.

16 If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

17 All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

18 We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

19 We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.

20 And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

21 My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.

Good News Translation GNT

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Messiah is a child of God; and whoever loves a father loves his child also.

2 This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.

3 For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us,

4 because every child of God is able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our faith.

5 Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

6 Jesus Christ is the one who came with the water of his baptism and the blood of his death. He came not only with the water, but with both the water and the blood. And the Spirit himself testifies that this is true, because the Spirit is truth.

7 There are three witnesses:

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and all three give the same testimony.

9 We believe human testimony; but God's testimony is much stronger, and he has given this testimony about his Son.

10 So those who believe in the Son of God have this testimony in their own heart; but those who do not believe God, have made a liar of him, because they have not believed what God has said about his Son.

11 The testimony is this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son.

12 Whoever has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have eternal life - you that believe in the Son of God.

14 We have courage in God's presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will.

15 He hears us whenever we ask him; and since we know this is true, we know also that he gives us what we ask from him.

16 If you see a believer commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray to God, who will give that person life. This applies to those whose sins do not lead to death. But there is sin which leads to death, and I do not say that you should pray to God about that.

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

18 We know that no children of God keep on sinning, for the Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot harm them.

19 We know that we belong to God even though the whole world is under the rule of the Evil One.

20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we know the true God. We live in union with the true God - in union with his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and this is eternal life.

21 My children, keep yourselves safe from false gods!
