6 This houtos is eimi the ho one who came erchomai by dia water hydōr and kai blood haima— Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos; not ou by en · ho water hydōr only monon but alla by en · ho water hydōr and kai · ho blood haima. And kai the ho Spirit pneuma is eimi the ho one who testifies martyreō, because hoti the ho Spirit pneuma is eimi the ho truth alētheia. 7 For hoti there are eimi three treis that ho testify martyreō: 8 the ho Spirit pneuma and kai the ho water hydōr and kai the ho blood haima; and kai the ho three treis are eimi in eis · ho accord heis. 9 If ei we receive lambanō the ho testimony martyria of ho men anthrōpos, the ho testimony martyria of ho God theos is eimi greater megas, because hoti this houtos is eimi the ho testimony martyria of ho God theos that hoti he has borne martyreō concerning peri · ho his autos Son hyios. 10 The ho one who believes pisteuō in eis the ho Son hyios of ho God theos has echō the ho testimony martyria in en himself heautou; the ho one who does not mē believe pisteuō · ho God theos has made poieō him autos out to be a liar pseustēs, because hoti he has not ou believed pisteuō in eis the ho testimony martyria that hos God theos has borne martyreō · ho concerning peri · ho his autos Son hyios. 11 And kai this houtos is eimi the ho testimony martyria: God theos gave didōmi us hēmeis eternal aiōnios life zōē, · ho and kai this houtos · ho life zōē is eimi in en · ho his autos Son hyios. 12 The ho one who has echō the ho Son hyios has echō · ho life zōē; the ho one who does not mē have echō the ho Son hyios of ho God theos does echō not ou have echō · ho life zōē.

1 John 5
Common English Bible
5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God. Whoever loves someone who is a parent loves the child born to the parent. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep God’s commandments. 3 This is the love of God: we keep God’s commandments. God’s commandments are not difficult, 4 because everyone who is born from God defeats the world. And this is the victory that has defeated the world: our faith. 5 Who defeats the world? Isn’t it the one who believes that Jesus is God’s Son?
Testimony about Jesus
6 This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 The three are testifying— 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and the three are united in agreement. 9 If we receive human testimony, God’s testimony is greater, because this is what God testified: he has testified about his Son. 10 The one who believes in God’s Son has the testimony within; the one who doesn’t believe God has made God a liar, because that one has not believed the testimony that God gave about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. 12 The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
Confidence in prayer
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son so that you can know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence that we have in our relationship with God: If we ask for anything in agreement with his will, he listens to us. 15 If we know that he listens to whatever we ask, we know that we have received what we asked from him. 16 If anyone sees a brother or sister committing a sin that does not result in death, they should pray, and God will give life to them—that is, to those who commit sins that don’t result in death. There is a sin that results in death—I’m not saying that you should pray about that. 17 Every unrighteous action is sin, but there is a sin that does not result in death.
Be on guard
18 We know that everyone born from God does not sin, but the ones born from God guard themselves,[a] and the evil one cannot touch them. 19 We know we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 We know that God’s Son has come and has given us understanding to know the one who is true. We are in the one who is true by being in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols!
