[1] Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him. [2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. [3] For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous. [4] For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. [5] Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? [6] This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [7] For there are three who testify:‡ [8] the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one. [9] If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son. [10] He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. [11] The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life. [13] These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. [14] This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. [15] And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. [16] If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this. [17] All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death. [18] We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him. [19] We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. [20] We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. [21] Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

King James Version
[1] Whosoever G3956 believeth G4100 that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 the G3588 Christ G5547 is born G1080 of G1537 God: G2316 and G2532 every one G3956 that G3588 loveth G25 him that G3588 begat G1080 loveth G25 him G3588 also G2532 that G3588 is begotten G1080 of G1537 him. G846 [2] By G1722 this G5129 we know G1097 that G3754 we love G25 the G3588 children G5043 of God, G2316 when G3752 we love G25 God, G2316 and G2532 keep G5083 his G846 commandments. G1785 [3] For G1063 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 love G26 of God, G2316 that G2443 we keep G5083 his G846 commandments: G1785 and G2532 his G846 commandments G1785 are G1526 not G3756 grievous. G926 [4] For G3754 whatsoever G3956 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 overcometh G3528 the G3588 world: G2889 and G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 victory G3529 that G3588 overcometh G3528 the G3588 world, G2889 even our G2257 faith. G4102 [5] Who G5101 is G2076 he that G3588 overcometh G3528 the G3588 world, G2889 but G1487 G3361 he that G3588 believeth G4100 that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 the G3588 Son G5207 of God? G2316 [6] This G3778 is G2076 he that G3588 came G2064 by G1223 water G5204 and G2532 blood, G129 even Jesus G2424 Christ; G5547 not G3756 by G1722 water G5204 only, G3440 but G235 by G1722 water G5204 and G2532 blood. G129 And G2532 it is G2076 the G3588 Spirit G4151 that G3588 beareth witness, G3140 because G3754 the G3588 Spirit G4151 is G2076 truth. G225 [7] For G3754 there are G1526 three G5140 that G3588 bear record G3140 in G1722 heaven, G3772 the G3588 Father, G3962 the G3588 Word, G3056 and G2532 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost: G4151 and G2532 these G3778 three G5140 are G1526 one. G1520 [8] And G2532 there are G1526 three G5140 that G3588 bear witness G3140 in G1722 earth, G1093 the G3588 Spirit, G4151 and G2532 the G3588 water, G5204 and G2532 the G3588 blood: G129 and G2532 these G3588 three G5140 agree G1526 in G1519 one. G1520 [9] If G1487 we receive G2983 the G3588 witness G3141 of men, G444 the G3588 witness G3141 of God G2316 is G2076 greater: G3187 for G3754 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 witness G3141 of God G2316 which G3739 he hath testified G3140 of G4012 his G846 Son. G5207 [10] He that G3588 believeth G4100 on G1519 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 hath G2192 the G3588 witness G3141 in G1722 himself: G1438 he that G3588 believeth G4100 not G3361 God G2316 hath made G4160 him G846 a liar; G5583 because G3754 he believeth G4100 not G3756 G1519 the G3588 record G3141 that G3739 God G2316 gave G3140 of G4012 his G846 Son. G5207 [11] And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 record, G3141 that G3754 God G2316 hath given G1325 to us G2254 eternal G166 life, G2222 and G2532 this G3778 life G2222 is G2076 in G1722 his G846 Son. G5207 [12] He that G3588 hath G2192 the G3588 Son G5207 hath G2192 life; G2222 and he that G3588 hath G2192 not G3361 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 hath G2192 not G3756 life. G2222 [13] These things G5023 have I written G1125 unto you G5213 that G3588 believe G4100 on G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God; G2316 that G2443 ye may know G1492 that G3754 ye have G2192 eternal G166 life, G2222 and G2532 that G2443 ye may believe G4100 on G1519 the G3588 name G3686 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God. G2316 [14] And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 confidence G3954 that G3739 we have G2192 in G4314 him, G846§ that, G3754 if G1437 we ask G154 any thing G5100 according to G2596 his G846 will, G2307 he heareth G191 us: G2257 [15] and G2532 if G1437 we know G1492 that G3754 he hear G191 us, G2257 whatsoever G3739 G302 we ask, G154 we know G1492 that G3754 we have G2192 the G3588 petitions G155 that G3739 we desired G154 of G3844 him. G846 [16] If G1437 any man G5100 see G1492 his G846 brother G80 sin G264 a sin G266 which is not G3361 unto G4314 death, G2288 he shall ask, G154 and G2532 he shall give G1325 him G846 life G2222 for them that G3588 sin G264 not G3361 unto G4314 death. G2288 There is G2076 a sin G266 unto G4314 death: G2288 I G3004 do not G3756 say G3004 that G2443 he shall pray G2065 for G4012 it. G1565 [17] All G3956 unrighteousness G93 is G2076 sin: G266 and G2532 there is G2076 a sin G266 not G3756 unto G4314 death. G2288 [18] We know G1492 that G3754 whosoever G3956 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 sinneth G264 not; G3756 but G235 he that G3588 is begotten G1080 of G1537 God G2316 keepeth G5083 himself, G1438 and G2532 that G3588 wicked one G4190 toucheth G680 him G846 not. G3756 [19] And we know G1492 that G3754 we are G2070 of G1537 God, G2316 and G2532 the G3588 whole G3650 world G2889 lieth G2749 in G1722 wickedness. G4190 [20] And G1161 we know G1492 that G3754 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 is come, G2240 and G2532 hath given G1325 us G2254 an understanding, G1271 that G2443 we may know G1097 him that G3588 is true, G228 and G2532 we are G2070 in G1722 him that G3588 is true, G228 even in G1722 his G846 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 This G3778 is G2076 the G3588 true G228 God, G2316 and G2532 eternal G166 life. G2222 [21] Little children, G5040 keep G5442 yourselves G1438 from G575 idols. G1497 Amen. G281
