¹Everyone who is believing that Jesus is the Anointed One has been born of God, and everyone who is loving the One having begotten Him loves also the one begotten from Him.

²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God and may perform his commandments.

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

⁴For everyone who is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory which has overcome the world: our trust.

⁵Now who is the one who overcomes the world except only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶This is the One who came through water and blood, Jesus the Anointed One; not by the water only, but by the water and by the blood; and the Spirit is the One who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth;

⁷For there are three those bearing testimony in the heaven: the Father, the word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one;

⁸And there are three those bearing testimony in the land: the Spirit and the water and the blood — and these three are in the one.

⁹If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that He has testified concerning his Son.

¹⁰The one who trusts in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one not trusting in God has made Him a liar, because he has not trusted in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.

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

¹²The one who has the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God does not have the life.

¹³These things I have written to you who trust in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life, and so that you may trust in the name of the Son of God.

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we shall ask anything according to his will, He hears us;

¹⁵And if we know that He hears us whatever we shall ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from Him.

¹⁶If anyone shall see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he will ask and He will give life to him, to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; not concerning that one do I say that he may implore.

¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

¹⁸We know that everyone who is born of God does not continue to sin; but the One having been begotten of God protects himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.

²⁰Now we know that the Son of God is come and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in his Son Jesus the Anointed One. He is the true God and the eternal life.

²¹Little children, keep yourselves from the idols. Amen.
