¹ Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of¹ God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

1. 5.1 Elohim

² Hereby know we that we love the children of¹ God, when we love² God and keep his commandments.

1. 5.2 Elohim
2. 5.2 Elohim

³ For this is the love of¹ God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.

1. 5.3 Elohim

⁴ For all that has been begotten of¹ God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

1. 5.4 Elohim

⁵ Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of¹ God?

1. 5.5 Elohim

⁶ This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.

⁷ For they that bear witness are three:

⁸ the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of¹ God is greater. For this is the witness of² God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.

1. 5.9 Elohim
2. 5.9 Elohim

¹⁰ He that believes on the Son of¹ God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe² God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which³ God has witnessed concerning his Son.

1. 5.10 Elohim
2. 5.10 Elohim
3. 5.10 Elohim

¹¹ And this is the witness, that¹ God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

1. 5.11 Elohim

¹² He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of¹ God has not life.

1. 5.12 Elohim

¹³ These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of¹ God.

1. 5.13 Elohim

¹⁴ And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.

¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

¹⁶ If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.

¹⁷ Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.

¹⁸ We know that every one begotten of¹ God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of² God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.

1. 5.18 Elohim
2. 5.18 Elohim

¹⁹ We know that we are of¹ God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one].

1. 5.19 Elohim

²⁰ And we know that the Son of¹ God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true² God and eternal life.

1. 5.20 Elohim
2. 5.20 Elohim

²¹ Children, keep yourselves from idols.
