1 John 5 (WEBP)

[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.

1 John 5:7 Only a few recent manuscripts add “in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth:”

1 John 5 (KJVS)

[1] Whosoever G3956 believeth G4100 (PresActPtc) that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 (PresInd) the Christ G5547 is born G1080 (PerfPasInd) of G1537 God G2316: and G2532 every one G3956 that loveth G25 (PresActPtc) him that begat G1080 (AorActPtc) loveth G25 (PresActInd) (PresActSubj) him also G2532 that is begotten G1080 (PerfPasPtc) of G1537 him G846.
[2] By G1722 this G5129 we know G1097 (PresActInd) that G3754 we love G25 (PresActInd) the children G5043 of God G2316, when G3752 we love G25 (PresActInd) God G2316, and G2532 keep G5083 (PresActSubj) his G846 commandments G1785.
[3] For G1063 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the love G26 of God G2316, that G2443 we keep G5083 (PresActSubj) his G846 commandments G1785: and G2532 his G846 commandments G1785 are G1526 (PresInd) not G3756 grievous G926.
[4] For G3754 whatsoever G3956 is born G1080 (PerfPasPtc) of G1537 God G2316 overcometh G3528 (PresActInd) the world G2889: and G2532 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the victory G3529 that overcometh G3528 (AorActPtc) the world G2889, [even] our G2257 faith G4102.
[5] Who G5101 is G2076 (PresInd) he that overcometh G3528 (PresActPtc) the world G2889, but G1508 he that believeth G4100 (PresActPtc) that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 (PresInd) the Son G5207 of God G2316?
[6] This G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) he that came G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) 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 (PresInd) the Spirit G4151 that beareth witness G3140 (PresActPtc), because G3754 the Spirit G4151 is G2076 (PresInd) truth G225.
[7] For G3754 there are G1526 (PresInd) three G5140 that bear record G3140 (PresActPtc) in G1722 heaven G3772, the Father G3962, the Word G3056, and G2532 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151: and G2532 these G3778 three G5140 are G1526 (PresInd) one G1520.
[8] And G2532 there are G1526 (PresInd) three G5140 that bear witness G3140 (PresActPtc) in G1722 earth G1093, the Spirit G4151, and G2532 the water G5204, and G2532 the blood G129: and G2532 these three G5140 agree G1526 (PresInd) in G1519 one G1520.
[9] If G1487 we receive G2983 (PresActInd) the witness G3141 of men G444, the witness G3141 of God G2316 is G2076 (PresInd) greater G3187: for G3754 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the witness G3141 of God G2316 which G3739 he hath testified G3140 (PerfActInd) of G4012 his G846 Son G5207.
[10] He that believeth G4100 (PresActPtc) on G1519 the Son G5207 of God G2316 hath G2192 (PresActInd) the witness G3141 in G1722 himself G1438: he that believeth G4100 (PresActPtc) not G3361 God G2316 hath made G4160 (PerfActInd) him G846 a liar G5583; because G3754 he believeth G4100 (PerfActInd) not G3756 G1519 the record G3141 that G3739 God G2316 gave G3140 (PerfActInd) of G4012 his G846 Son G5207.
[11] And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the record G3141, that G3754 God G2316 hath given G1325 (AorActInd) to us G2254 eternal G166 life G2222, and G2532 this G3778 life G2222 is G2076 (PresInd) in G1722 his G846 Son G5207.
[12] He that hath G2192 (PresActPtc) the Son G5207 hath G2192 (PresActInd) life G2222; [and] he that hath G2192 (PresActPtc) not G3361 the Son G5207 of God G2316 hath G2192 (PresActInd) not G3756 life G2222.
[13] These things G5023 have I written G1125 (AorActInd) unto you G5213 that believe G4100 (PresActPtc) on G1519 the name G3686 of the Son G5207 of God G2316; that G2443 ye may know G1492 (PerfActSubj) that ye G3754 have G2192 (PresActInd) eternal G166 life G2222, and G2532 that G2443 ye may believe G4100 (PresActSubj) on G1519 the name G3686 of the Son G5207 of God G2316.
[14] And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the confidence G3954 that G3739 we have G2192 (PresActInd) in G4314 him G846, that G3754, if G1437 we ask G154 (PresMidSubj) any thing G5100 according G2596 to his G846 will G2307, he heareth G191 (PresActInd) us G2257:
[15] And G2532 if G1437 we know G1492 (PerfActInd) that G3754 he hear G191 (PresActInd) us G2257, whatsoever G3739 G302 we ask G154 (PresMidSubj), we know G1492 (PerfActInd) that G3754 we have G2192 (PresActInd) the petitions G155 that G3739 we desired G154 (PerfActInd) of G3844 him G846.
[16] If G1437 any man G5100 see G1492 (Aor2ActSubj) his G846 brother G80 sin G264 (PresActPtc) a sin G266 [which is] not G3361 unto G4314 death G2288, he shall ask G154 (FutActInd), and G2532 he shall give G1325 (FutActInd) him G846 life G2222 for them that sin G264 (PresActPtc) not G3361 unto G4314 death G2288. There is G2076 (PresInd) a sin G266 unto G4314 death G2288: I do not G3756 say G3004 (PresActInd) that G2443 he shall pray G2065 (AorActSubj) for G4012 it G1565.
[17] All G3956 unrighteousness G93 is G2076 (PresInd) sin G266: and G2532 there is G2076 (PresInd) a sin G266 not G3756 unto G4314 death G2288.
[18] We know G1492 (PerfActInd) that G3754 whosoever G3956 is born G1080 (PerfPasPtc) of G1537 God G2316 sinneth G264 (PresActInd) not G3756; but G235 he that is begotten G1080 (AorPasPtc) of G1537 God G2316 keepeth G5083 (PresActInd) himself G1438, and G2532 that wicked one G4190 toucheth G680 (PresMidInd) him G846 not G3756.
[19] [And] we know G1492 (PerfActInd) that G3754 we are G2070 (PresInd) of G1537 God G2316, and G2532 the whole G3650 world G2889 lieth G2749 (PresMidPasDepInd) in G1722 wickedness G4190.
[20] And G1161 we know G1492 (PerfActInd) that G3754 the Son G5207 of God G2316 is come G2240 (PresActInd), and G2532 hath given G1325 (PerfActInd) us G2254 an understanding G1271, that G2443 we may know G1097 (PresActSubj) him that is true G228, and G2532 we are G2070 (PresInd) in G1722 him that is true G228, [even] in G1722 his G846 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547. This G3778 is G2076 (PresInd) the true G228 God G2316, and G2532 eternal G166 life G2222.
[21] Little children G5040, keep G5442 (AorActImpr) yourselves G1438 from G575 idols G1497. Amen G281.

Young’s Literal Translation

1 John 5 (YLT)

[1] Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:
[2] in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;
[3] for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;
[4] because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world-our faith;
[5] who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
[6] This one is he who did come through water and blood-Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,
[7] because three are who are testifying in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these-the three-are one; …
[9] If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.
[10] He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;
[11] and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this-the life-is in His Son;
[12] he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God-the life he hath not.
[13] These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
[14] And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,
[15] and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.
[16] If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;
[17] all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.
[18] We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;
[19] we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;
[20] and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!
[21] Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
