The Bible in Basic English BBE
Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB
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.
1
Everyone with emunah that Yehoshua (Yeshua) is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has been born of Hashem, and everyone having ahavah for the One having begotten has also ahavah for the one begotten by Him.
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.
2
By this we have da’as that we have ahavah for the yeladim of Hashem, when we have ahavas Hashem and we are shomer over His mitzvot.
3 For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.
3
For this is the ahavas Hashem, that we are shomer over His mitzvot, and His mitzvot are not burdensome. [DEVARIM 30:11]
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.
4
Because whatever [T.N. refers to every believer] that has been born of Hashem obtains nitzachon (victory) over the Olam Hazeh. And this is the nitzachon (victory), the nitzachon that overcomes the Olam Hazeh, even [what makes us a believer], our emunah (faith).
5 Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?
5
And who is the one overcoming the Olam Hazeh except the one with emunah that Yehoshua is the Ben HaElohim?
6 This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.
6
This One is the One having come by mayim and dahm, Yehoshua, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; not by the mayim only, but by the mayim and by the dahm; and the Ruach Hakodesh is the one giving solemn eidus, because the Ruach Hakodesh is HaEmes.
7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.
7
Because there are shloshah giving solemn eidus:
8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.
8
the Ruach Hakodesh and the mayim and the dahm, and the shloshah are for solemn eidus.
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.
9
If the solemn eidus of Bnei Adam we receive, the solemn eidus of Hashem is greater, because this is the eidus of Hashem that He has testified concerning the Son of the Oybeshter.
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.
10
The one with emunah in the Ben HaElohim has the eidus, even the eidus (witness), in himself; the one without emunah in Hashem has made Hashem a shakran (liar), because he has not had emunah in the eidus which Hashem has testified concerning His Ben HaElohim.
11 And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
11
And this is the eidus, that Hashem gave Chayyei Olam to us, and this Chayyim is in His Ben HaElohim.
12 He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.
12
The one having HaBen has HaChayyim; the one not having HaBen HaElohim does not have Chayyim.
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.
13
These things I wrote to you who have emunah b’Shem HaBen HaElohim, that you vada (with certainty) may have da’as that you have Chayyei Olam. [Yn 20:31]
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:
14
And this is the bitachon which we have with Him, that if we daven and request anything according to His ratzon (will), He hears 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.
15
And if we have da’as that He hears us, whatever we ask, we have da’as that we have the requests which we asked from Him. [MELACHIM ALEF 3:12]
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.
16
If anyone sees his Ach b’Moshiach sinning an averah not leading to mavet, he will ask and Hashem will give to him Chayyim, to the ones sinning a chet not leading to mavet. There is an averah leading to mavet. I do not say we should make request concerning that averah.
17 All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.
17
Kol avon is chet, and there is chet not leading to mavet.
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.
18
We have da’as that everyone having been born of Hashem does not continually sin, but the One having been born of G-d (Ben HaElohim Moshiach) is shomer over him and Hasatan does not touch him.
19 We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.
19
We have da’as that we are of Hashem and the whole Olam Hazeh lies under Hasatan.
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.
20
And we have da’as that the Ben HaElohim has come and has given us binah that we may have da’as of the One who is the True One, The Omein, and we are in the One who is The Omein, even in HaBen of Him, Moshiach Yehoshua. This one is the El HaAmitti and Chayyei Olam [YIRMEYAH 24:7].
21 My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.
21
Yeladim, keep yourselves from elilim [YIRMEYAH 5:18]
