1Everyone believing that Yeshua is the Messiah is begotten of God: and everyone who loves him who fathered loves him also who is begotten of him. 2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4For whatever is begotten of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5And who is he who overcomes the world, but the one believing that Yeshua is the Son of God? 6This is he who came by water and blood, even Yeshua Messiah; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. 7And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one. 9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he has borne witness concerning his Son. 10The one believing in the Son of God has the witness in him: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning his Son. 11And the witness is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 13These things I have written to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, even to you believing in the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us: 15and if we know that he hears us whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. 16If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request. 17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death. 18We know that whoever is begotten of God does not sin; but he who was begotten of God keeps 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. 20And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, even in his Son Yeshua Messiah. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
