Chapter 5
|
1
|
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born
of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth
him also that is begotten 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 the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not grievous. |
4
|
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even
our faith. |
5
|
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God? |
6
|
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 that beareth witness, because the Spirit
is truth. |
7
|
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three
are one. |
8
|
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the
Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three
agree in one. |
9
|
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God
is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath
testified of his Son. |
10
|
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 believeth not the record that God gave
of his Son. |
11
|
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son. |
12
|
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not
the Son of God hath not life. |
13
|
These things have I written unto you that believe on
the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name
of the Son of God.
Q/A:
Doubting Your Salvation |
14
|
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that,
if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth
us: |
15
|
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask,
we know that we have the petitions that we desired of
him. |
16
|
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. |
17
|
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not
unto death. |
18
|
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not;
but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that
wicked one toucheth him not. |
19
|
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world
lieth in wickedness. |
20
|
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath 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. |
21
|
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. |
