1 John 5

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

3 For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,

4 for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

5 Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.

7 There are three that testify:

8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree.

9 If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son.

10 Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

11 And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

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

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

14 And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.

16 If you see your brother or sister committing what is not a mortal sin, you will ask, and God will give life to such a one—to those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin that is mortal; I do not say that you should pray about that.

17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not mortal.

18 We know that those who are born of God do not sin, but the one who was born of God protects them, and the evil one does not touch them.

19 We know that we are God's children, and that the whole world lies under the power of the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know 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 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

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.
