1 John 5:9-19

The Bible in Basic English BBE

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.

New International Version NIV

9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.

11 And this is the testimony: God has given 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 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.

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

18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.

19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
