1 Overcoming the World
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is thea I.e. MessiahChrist isb Or begottenborn of God, and whoever loves thec Lit one who begetsFather loves the childd Or begottenborn of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God ande Lit doobserve His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever isf Or begottenborn of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; notg Lit inwith the water only, buth Lit inwith the water andi Lit inwith the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 j A few late mss add ...in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth, the Spiritthe Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three arek Lit for the one thingin agreement. 9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son. 10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. 11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
