Every one that believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God, and every one that loveth him that begot loveth also him that is begotten of him.
Herein 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 grievous.
For all that is begotten of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcame the world, our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is he that came through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood; and it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
Because three are those that bear witness,
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; because this is the witness of God which he hath witnessed concerning his Son.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath witnessed concerning his Son.
And this is the witness that God gave to us life eternal, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things I wrote to you that ye may know that ye that believe on the name of the Son of God have life eternal.
And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he heareth us.
And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
If anyone see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for those that sin not unto death. There is sin unto death: I do not say that he should request for it.
Every unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.
We know that everyone that is begotten of God sinneth not, but the begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one.
And we know that the Son of God came, and hath given to us understanding that we should know the true one; and we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
