1John:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God :
and every one that loves him that brings forth loves him also that is begotten 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 (
o .
agape )
of God ,
that we keep his commandments :
and his commandments are not grievous .
*
For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world :
and this is the victory that overcomes the world ,
even our faith .
*
Who is he that overcomes the world ,
but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God ?
*
This is he that came by water and blood ,
even Jesus Christ ;
not by water only ,
but by water and blood .
And it is the Spirit (
o .
pneuma )
that bears witness ,
because the Spirit (
o .
pneuma )
is truth .
*
For there are three that bear record in heaven ,
the Father ,
the Word , (
o .
logos )
and the Holy Spirit : (
o .
pneuma )
and these three are one .
*
And there are three that bear witness in earth ,
the Spirit , (
o .
pneuma )
and the water ,
and the blood :
and these three agree in one .
*
If we receive the witness of men ,
the witness of God is greater :
for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son .
*
He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself :
he that believes not God has made him a liar ;
because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son .
*
And this is the record ,
that God has given to us eternal life ,
and this life is in his Son .
*
He that has the Son has life ;
and he that has not the Son of God has not life .
*
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God ;
that all of you may know that all of you have eternal life ,
and that all of you may believe on the name of the Son of God .
*
And this is the confidence that we have in him ,
that ,
if we ask any thing according to his will ,
he hears us :
*
And if we know that he hear us ,
whatsoever we ask ,
we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him .
*
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death ,
he shall ask ,
and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death .
There is a sin unto death :
I do not say that he shall pray for it .
*
All unrighteousness is sin :
and there is a sin not unto death .
*
We know that whosoever is born of God sins not ;
but he that is begotten of God keeps himself ,
and that wicked one touches him not .
*
And we know that we are of God ,
and the whole world lies in wickedness .
*
And we know that the Son of God has come ,
and has given us an understanding ,
that we may know him that is true ,
and we are in him that is true ,
even in his Son Jesus Christ .
This is the true God ,
and eternal life .
*
Little children ,
keep yourselves from idols .
Amen .
