约翰一书 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
胜过世界的人
5 每一个信耶稣是基督的人，都是从上帝生的。凡爱生他之上帝的，也爱上帝所生的。 2 当我们爱上帝，遵行祂的命令时，便知道自己也爱祂的儿女。 3 因为我们遵行上帝的命令就是爱上帝，祂的命令并不难遵守。 4 因为凡是从上帝生的人都能胜过世界，使我们得胜的是我们的信心。 5 谁能胜过世界呢？不就是那些信耶稣是上帝的儿子的人吗？
上帝的见证
6 耶稣基督是借着水和血来的。祂不单是借着水来的，也是借着水和血来的，并且有圣灵为祂做见证，圣灵就是真理。 7 这样，做见证的共有三样： 8 圣灵、水和血。这三者是一致的。 9 我们既然接受人的见证，就更该接受上帝的见证，因为上帝为祂的儿子做了见证。 10 信上帝儿子的人心里有这见证，不信上帝的人等于把上帝当作撒谎的，因为他不信上帝为祂儿子做的见证。 11 这见证就是：上帝已经把永恒的生命赐给我们，这生命在祂儿子里面。 12 人有上帝的儿子，就有这生命；没有上帝的儿子，就没有这生命。
永恒的生命
13 我把这些事写给你们这些信上帝儿子之名的人，是要你们知道自己有永生。 14 我们若按着上帝的旨意祈求，祂必垂听，这是我们对上帝的信心。 15 我们既然知道上帝垂听我们一切的祈求，就知道我们能得到所求的。
16 若有人看见信徒犯了不至于死的罪，就当为他祷告，上帝必将生命赐给他。有的罪会导致死亡，我并不是说你们要为这样的罪祷告。 17 一切不义的事都是罪，但有的罪不会导致死亡。
18 我们知道从上帝生的不会继续犯罪，因为上帝的儿子保护他，那恶者无法害他。 19 我们知道自己属于上帝，全世界都在那恶者手中。
20 我们知道上帝的儿子已经来了，并且赐给了我们悟性，使我们能认识真神。我们在真神里面，就是在祂儿子耶稣基督里面。祂是真神，也是永生。
21 孩子们啊，你们要远离偶像！

Complete Jewish Bible
5 Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah has God as his father, and everyone who loves a father loves his offspring too. 2 Here is how we know that we love God’s children: when we love God, we also do what he commands. 3 For loving God means obeying his commands. Moreover, his commands are not burdensome, 4 because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our trust. 5 Who does overcome the world if not the person who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?
6 He is the one who came by means of water and blood, Yeshua the Messiah — not with water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 There are three witnesses — 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood — and these three are in agreement. 9 If we accept human witness, God’s witness is stronger, because it is the witness which God has given about his Son. 10 Those who keep trusting in the Son of God have this witness in them. Those who do not keep trusting God have made him out to be a liar, because they have not trusted in the witness which God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the witness: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God do not have the life. 13 I have written you these things so that you may know that you have eternal life — you who keep trusting in the person and power of the Son of God.
14 This is the confidence we have in his presence: if we ask anything that accords with his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us — whatever we ask — then we know that we have what we have asked from him.
16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask; and God will give him life for those whose sinning does not lead to death. There is sin that does lead to death; I am not saying he should pray about that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 We know that everyone who has God as his Father does not go on sinning; on the contrary, the Son born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not touch him.
19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.
21 Children, guard yourselves against false gods!

Our Victory over the World
5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Messiah is a child of God; and whoever loves a father loves his child also. 2 This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands. 3 (A)For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us, 4 because every child of God is able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our faith. 5 Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
The Witness about Jesus Christ
6 Jesus Christ is the one who came with the water of his baptism and the blood of his death. He came not only with the water, but with both the water and the blood. And the Spirit himself testifies that this is true, because the Spirit is truth. 7 There are three witnesses: 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and all three give the same testimony. 9 We believe human testimony; but God's testimony is much stronger, and he has given this testimony about his Son. 10 So those who believe in the Son of God have this testimony in their own heart; but those who do not believe God, have made a liar of him, because they have not believed what God has said about his Son. 11 (B)The testimony is this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Eternal Life
13 I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have eternal life—you that believe in the Son of God. 14 We have courage in God's presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will. 15 He hears us whenever we ask him; and since we know this is true, we know also that he gives us what we ask from him.
16 If you see a believer commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray to God, who will give that person life. This applies to those whose sins do not lead to death. But there is sin which leads to death, and I do not say that you should pray to God about that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which does not lead to death.
18 We know that no children of God keep on sinning, for the Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot harm them.
19 We know that we belong to God even though the whole world is under the rule of the Evil One.
20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we know the true God. We live in union with the true God—in union with his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and this is eternal life.
21 My children, keep yourselves safe from false gods!
