1 John 5
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 ¶ Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and anyone that loves him that begat also loves him that is born of him.
2 In this we know that we love the sons of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 ¶ This is Jesus, the Christ, who came by water and blood; not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is he that bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son.
10 ¶ He that believes in the Son of God has the witness of God in himself; he that does not believe God has made God a liar; because he does not believe the witness that God has testified of his Son.
11 And this is the witness, that God has given eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that has the Son has life; and he that does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 These things I have written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
14 ¶ And this is the confidence that we have in God, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us:
15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have the petitions that we asked of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask God, and he shall give him life that is, unto those that do not sin unto death. There is sin unto death, for which I do not say that you should pray.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, but there is a sin not unto death.
18 ¶ We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.
20 But we know that the Son of God is come and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

1 John 5
GOD’S WORD Translation
Those Who Believe in Jesus Are God’s Children
5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born from God. Everyone who loves the Father also loves his children. 2 We know that we love God’s children when we love God by obeying his commandments. 3 To love God means that we obey his commandments. Obeying his commandments isn’t difficult 4 because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world. 5 Who wins the victory over the world? Isn’t it the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This Son of God is Jesus Christ, who came by water and blood. He didn’t come with water only, but with water and with blood. The Spirit is the one who verifies this, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 There are three witnesses: [a] 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three witnesses agree.
9 We accept human testimony. God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony that he has given about his Son. 10 Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony of God in them. Those who don’t believe God have made God a liar. They haven’t believed the testimony that God has given about his Son.
11 This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in his Son. 12 The person who has the Son has this life. The person who doesn’t have the Son of God doesn’t have this life.
Conclusion
13 I’ve written this to those who believe in the Son of God so that they will know that they have eternal life.
14 We are confident that God listens to us if we ask for anything that has his approval. 15 We know that he listens to our requests. So we know that we already have what we ask him for.
16 If you see another believer committing a sin that doesn’t lead to death, you should pray that God would give that person life. This is true for those who commit sins that don’t lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I’m not telling you to pray about that. 17 Every kind of wrongdoing is sin, yet there are sins that don’t lead to death.
18 We know that those who have been born from God don’t go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one can’t harm them.
19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we know the real God. We are in the one who is real, his Son Jesus Christ. This Jesus Christ is the real God and eternal life.
21 Dear children, guard yourselves from false gods.

New International Version
Faith in the Incarnate Son of God
5 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) 2 This is how we know(E) that we love the children of God:(F) by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.(G) And his commands are not burdensome,(H) 4 for everyone born of God(I) overcomes(J) the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.(K)
6 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) 7 For there are three(N) that testify: 8 the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 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)

约翰一书 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
约翰一书 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
5 凡是相信耶稣是基督的，都是由神所生的。凡是爱那生身之父的，也都爱那由父所生的。 2 当我们爱神，并遵行[a]他命令的时候，从这一点就知道我们爱神的儿女了。 3 原来属神的爱是这样的，就是我们要遵守他的命令；而他的命令并不是沉重的， 4 因为凡是由神所生的，就胜过世界；而这胜过世界的胜利，就是我们的信仰。 5 胜过世界的到底是谁呢？难道不是那相信耶稣是神儿子的吗？
从神来的见证
6 藉着水和血而来的那一位，就是耶稣基督，不仅藉着水，也藉着水和血；并且圣灵是做见证的那一位，因为圣灵就是真理。 7 原来，做见证的有三者：[b] 8 圣灵、水和血；而这三者是一致的[c]。 9 我们既然接受人的见证，神的见证就更应该接受[d]了，因为这是神的见证，就是神为他的儿子所做的见证。 10 那信神儿子的，就有这见证在他里面；那不信神的，就把神当做说谎者，因为他不相信神为自己的儿子所做的见证。 11 这见证就是：神把永恒的生命赐给了我们，并且这生命在他儿子里面。
12 那有了神儿子的，就有了这生命；那没有神儿子的，就没有这生命。 13 我把这些事写给你们信神儿子之名的人，好让你们知道：你们有永恒的生命[e]。
有功效的祷告
14 我们对神所怀的确信是这样的：如果我们按照他的旨意求什么，他就垂听我们。 15 如果我们已经知道凡是我们所求的他都垂听，我们就知道我们已经拥有了向他所求的。
16 如果有人看见自己的弟兄在犯不至于死的罪，就应该为他祈求；这样，神[f]将把生命赐给他，就是给那些犯不至于死的罪的人。有一种罪是至于死的；关于那种罪我不说要祈求。 17 一切不义都是罪，也有不至于死的罪。
结语
18 我们知道：凡是由神所生的人，就不会继续犯罪；原来，由神所生的那一位保守着他[g][h]，那恶者也就不碰他。
19 我们知道：我们属于神，但整个世界都伏在那恶者之下。
20 我们也知道：神的儿子已经来了，并且把领悟的心赐给了我们，使我们能认识真实的那一位[i]。我们在真实的那一位里面，也就是在他的儿子耶稣基督里面——这一位就是真神，就是永恒的生命。
21 孩子们哪，你们要保守自己远离偶像。[j]
