¶ Tout moun ki rekonèt Jezi se Kris la, se pitit Bondye yo ye. Si ou renmen yon papa, se pou ou renmen pitit li tou.

Nou konnen nou renmen pitit Bondye yo lè nou renmen Bondye, lè nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè.

Nou renmen Bondye, lè nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè. Sa Bondye mande nou fè yo pa twò difisil pase sa.

Paske, depi se pitit Bondye ou ye, ou kapab genyen batay la sou lemonn. Men ki jan nou fè gengen batay la sou lemonn, se paske nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.

Ki moun ki ka genyen batay la sou lemonn? Se sèlman moun ki kwè Jezi se pitit Bondye a.

¶ Jezikri se moun ki te vini an: li te vini ak dlo batèm lan ansanm ak san lanmò li a. Li pa t' vini ak dlo a sèlman, men li te vini avèk dlo ansanm ak san. Lespri Bondye a di se vre sa, paske Lespri Bondye a se verite a menm.

Gen yo twa k'ap di Jezi se moun ki te vini an.

Se Lespri Bondye a, se dlo a ansanm ak san an. Yo touletwa yo dakò.

Nou asepte pawòl moun pou verite. Men, pawòl Bondye a pi bon toujou. Epi, sa se temwayaj Bondye bay pou Pitit li a.

10 ¶ Konsa, moun ki gen konfyans nan Pitit Bondye a, se moun ki pran pawòl Bondye a pou verite epi ki kenbe l' nan kè yo. Men, moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Bondye, yo fè Bondye pase pou mantò, paske yo pa t' kwè pawòl Bondye te di sou Pitit li a se verite.

11 Men pawòl verite a: Bondye ban nou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se nan Pitit li a li ban nou li.

12 Moun ki gen Pitit la, yo gen lavi sa a tou. Men, moun ki pa gen Pitit Bondye a, yo pa gen lavi sa a non plis.

13 M'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, nou menm ki kwè nan Pitit Bondye a pou nou ka konnen nou gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

14 ¶ Se poutèt sa kè nou pa sote devan Bondye. Nou konnen l'ap koute nou si nou mande l' kichòy ki dakò ak volonte li.

15 Konsa, non sèlman nou konnen l'ap koute nou lè nou fè l' yon demann, men nou konnen tou l'ap ban nou sa nou mande l' la.

16 Si yon moun wè yon frè l' fè yon peche ki p'ap fè l' mouri, se pou l' lapriyè Bondye pou Bondye bay frè a lavi. Prensip sa a bon pou moun ki fè peche ki p'ap fè yo mouri. Men, gen yon kalite peche ki mennen yon moun tou dwat nan lanmò. mwen pa di pou yo lapriyè pou moun ki fè kalite peche sa yo.

17 Tou sa ou fè ki mal, se yon peche. Men, se pa tout peche k'ap mennen ou nan lanmò.

18 ¶ Nou konnen depi yon moun pitit Bondye, li p'ap kontinye ap viv nan peche toujou. Paske, Pitit Bondye a ap veye sou li, Satan pa ka fè l' anyen.

19 Nou konnen nou se moun Bondye. Men, tou sa ki sou latè anba pouvwa Satan.

20 Nou konnen Pitit Bondye a te vini, li louvri lespri nou pou nou ka konnen Bondye tout bon an. N'ap viv ansanm ak Bondye tout bon an, gremesi Pitit li, Jezikri. Se li menm ki Bondye tout bon an, se li menm ki lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

21 Pitit mwen yo, veye kò nou ak zidòl!

Faith in the Incarnate Son of God

Everyone who believes(A) that Jesus is the Christ(B) is born of God,(C) and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.(D) This is how we know(E) that we love the children of God:(F) by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.(G) And his commands are not burdensome,(H) for everyone born of God(I) overcomes(J) the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.(K)

This is the one who came by water and blood(L)—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.(M) For there are three(N) that testify: the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. We accept human testimony,(O) but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,(P) which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.(Q) Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,(R) because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,(S) and this life is in his Son.(T) 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.(U)

Concluding Affirmations

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God(V) so that you may know that you have eternal life.(W) 14 This is the confidence(X) we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.(Y) 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know(Z) that we have what we asked of him.(AA)

16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life.(AB) I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death.(AC) I am not saying that you should pray about that.(AD) 17 All wrongdoing is sin,(AE) and there is sin that does not lead to death.(AF)

18 We know that anyone born of God(AG) does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one(AH) cannot harm them.(AI) 19 We know that we are children of God,(AJ) and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.(AK) 20 We know also that the Son of God has come(AL) and has given us understanding,(AM) so that we may know him who is true.(AN) And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.(AO)

21 Dear children,(AP) keep yourselves from idols.(AQ)
