5: • 1 Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been conceived out from God, and everyone loving the One conceiving [Seed] also loves all others who are being conceived out from Him.• 2 By this we know that we love the children birthed out from God, when we love God and keep, guard, and watch over His commandments. 3 Indeed, this is the love of God, that we should keep, guard, and watch over His commandments, His full completion; and His commandments are not burdensome. • 4 For all who have been conceived out from God overcome the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith. • 5 Who then is the one who overcomes the world, if not the one who believes that Jesus is the Son out from God? • 6 This is the one who has come through water and blood; not inside of water only but inside of water and inside of blood [c]. • And the Spirit is the One testifying, the witness, because the Spirit is the Truth. [d] • 8 The Spirit, the water, and the blood: these three are together into one [the Church]. 9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which He has testified concerning His Son. 10 The one who believes into the Son out from God possesses that testimony [of the Spirit] inside himself; the one who does not believe has made God out to be a liar [e], because he has not believed, has not penetrated with purpose into the testimony God has testified concerning His Son. • 11 And this is the testimony, that the life unfolding the ages God has given to us, and this life is inside of His Son. • 12 The one who possesses the Son has the life; the one who does not possess the Son out from God does not have the life. • 13 These things I have written to you who are believing inside of the name of the Son out from God, that you might know that you possess age-unfolding life, and that you might actively believe into the name and character of the Son out from God. • 14 And this is the confidence, the freedom to speak boldly, that we have towards Him, that if we ask anything concerning the details of His desire, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, we know that whatever we might ask, we possess the requests we have asked upon Him [f]. • 16 If anyone should see his brother sinning and disconnecting from God, though not towards death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those not disconnecting into death. There is a sin, a disconnection from God, that goes all the way into death; I do not say that he should ask for life encompassing that one. 17 All injustice and harmful action is sin and disconnection, but there is a sin and disconnection that does not go into death [g]. • 18 We know that everyone who has been conceived out from God does not sin, does not fall short of complete connection with God, but the one who has been conceived out from God, God Himself protects and guards him, and the evil one does not touch or influence him. • 19 We know that we are out from God, and the whole, entire world-cosmos is set inside of the evil one. • 20 More than that, we know that the Son out from God is presently and actively come [is present, has already arrived] and has given us an understanding, a through-mind [h], • so that we might know Him who is the true; and we are inside of Him who is the true, inside of His Son, Jesus Christ. • We are speaking of the true God and the life that unfolds the ages. • 21 Little children, keep yourselves from the idols . Let it be so; it is so. |
