1 Whoever3956 3588 believes4100 that Jesus2424 is the Christ5547 is born1080 of God:2316 and every3956 one that loves25 him that begat1080 loves25 him also2532 that is begotten1080 of him.

2 By this5129 we know1097 that we love25 the children5043 of God,2316 when3752 we love25 God,2316 and keep5083 his commandments.1785

3 For this3778 is the love26 of God,2316 that we keep5083 his commandments:1785 and his commandments1785 are not grievous.926

4 For whatever3956 is born1080 of God2316 overcomes3528 the world:2889 and this3778 is the victory3529 that overcomes3528 the world,2889 even our faith.4102

5 Who5101 is he that overcomes3528 the world,2889 but he that believes4100 that Jesus2424 is the Son5207 of God?2316

6 This3778 is he that came2064 by water5204 and blood,129 even Jesus2424 Christ;5547 not by water5204 only,3440 but by water5204 and blood.129 And it is the Spirit4151 that bears3140 witness,3140 because3754 the Spirit4151 is truth.225

7 For there are three5140 that bear3140 record3140 in heaven,3772 the Father,3962 the Word,3056 and the Holy40 Ghost:4151 and these3778 three5140 are one.1520

8 And there are three5140 that bear3140 witness3140 in earth,1093 the Spirit,4151 and the water,5204 and the blood:129 and these3778 three5140 agree1526 in one.1520

9 If1487 we receive2983 the witness3141 of men,444 the witness3141 of God2316 is greater:3187 for this3778 is the witness3141 of God2316 which3739 he has testified3140 of his Son.5207

10 He that believes4100 on1519 the Son5207 of God2316 has2192 the witness3141 in himself:1438 he that believes4100 not God2316 has made4160 him a liar;5583 because3754 he believes4100 not the record3141 that God2316 gave3140 of his Son.5207

11 And this3778 is the record,3141 that God2316 has given1325 to us eternal166 life,2222 and this3778 life2222 is in his Son.5207

12 He that has2192 the Son5207 has2192 life;2222 and he that has2192 not the Son5207 of God2316 has2192 not life.2222

13 These5023 things have I written1125 to you that believe4100 on1519 the name3686 of the Son5207 of God;2316 that you may know1492 that you have2192 eternal166 life,2222 and that you may believe4100 on1519 the name3686 of the Son5207 of God.2316

14 And this3778 is the confidence3954 that we have2192 in him, that, if1437 we ask154 any5100 thing according2596 to his will,2307 he hears191 us:

15 And if1437 we know1492 that he hear191 us, whatever3739 302 we ask,154 we know1492 that we have2192 the petitions155 that we desired154 of him.

16 If1437 any5100 man see1492 his brother80 sin264 a sin266 which is not to death,2288 he shall ask,154 and he shall give1325 him life2222 for them that sin264 not to death.2288 There is a sin266 to death:2288 I do not say3004 that he shall pray2065 for it.

17 All3956 unrighteousness93 is sin:266 and there is a sin266 not to death.2288

18 We know1492 that whoever3956 3588 is born1080 of God2316 sins264 not; but he that is begotten1080 of God2316 keeps5083 himself,1438 and that wicked4190 one touches680 him not.

19 And we know1492 that we are of God,2316 and the whole3650 world2889 lies2749 in wickedness.4190

20 And we know1492 that the Son5207 of God2316 is come,2240 and has given1325 us an understanding,1271 that we may know1097 him that is true,228 and we are in him that is true,228 even in his Son5207 Jesus2424 Christ.5547 This3778 is the true228 God,2316 and eternal166 life.2222

21 Little5040 children,5040 keep5442 yourselves1438 from idols.1497 Amen.281
