1John:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God .
And everyone who loves Him who begets also loves the one who has been born of Him .
*
By this we know that we love the children of God :
when we love God and keep His commandments .
*
For this is the love of God ,
that we keep His commandments ;
and His commandments are not heavy .
*
Because everything having been born of God overcomes the world ,
and this is the victory overcoming the world ,
our faith .
*
Who is the one overcoming the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God ?
*
This is the One coming through water and blood ,
Jesus Christ ;
not by the water only ,
but by the water and the blood .
And the Spirit is the One witnessing ,
because the Spirit is the truth .
*
For there are three bearing witness in Heaven :
the Father the Word ,
and the Holy Spirit ;
and these three are one .
*
And there are three who bear witness on the earth :
The Spirit ,
and the water ,
and the blood ;
and the three are to the one .
*
If we receive the witness of men ,
the witness of God is greater ;
because this is the witness of God which He has witnessed about His Son :
*
The one believing in the Son of God has the witness in himself .
The one not believing God has made Him a liar ,
because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning His Son .
*
And this is the witness :
that God gave us everlasting life ,
and this life is in His Son .
*
The one having the Son has life .
The one not having the Son of God does not have life .
*
I wrote these things to you ,
the ones believing in the name of the Son of God ,
that you may know that you have everlasting life ,
and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God .
*
And this is the confidence we have toward Him ,
that if we ask anything according to His will ,
He hears us .
*
And if we know that He hears us ,
whatever we ask ,
we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him .
*
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death ,
he shall ask ;
and He shall give life to him ,
to the ones not sinning unto death .
There is a sin unto death .
I do not say that he should ask about that .
*
All unrighteousness is sin ,
and there is a sin not unto death .
*
We know that everyone having been born of God does not sin ,
but the one born of God keeps himself ,
and the evil does not touch him .
*
We know that we are of God ,
and the whole world lies in evil .
*
And we know that the Son of God has come ,
and He has given to us an understanding that we may know the true One ,
and we are in the true One ,
in His Son Jesus Christ .
This is the true God and the life everlasting .
*
Little children ,
guard yourselves from idols .
Amen .
