1 John 5
King James Version
5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in 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 hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an 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.

Alla fonte della fede
5 Chiunque crede che Gesù è il Cristo, è nato da Dio; e chi ama colui che ha generato, ama anche chi da lui è stato generato. 2 Da questo conosciamo di amare i figli di Dio: se amiamo Dio e ne osserviamo i comandamenti, 3 perché in questo consiste l'amore di Dio, nell'osservare i suoi comandamenti; e i suoi comandamenti non sono gravosi. 4 Tutto ciò che è nato da Dio vince il mondo; e questa è la vittoria che ha sconfitto il mondo: la nostra fede.
5 E chi è che vince il mondo se non chi crede che Gesù è il Figlio di Dio? 6 Questi è colui che è venuto con acqua e sangue, Gesù Cristo; non con acqua soltanto, ma con l'acqua e con il sangue. Ed è lo Spirito che rende testimonianza, perché lo Spirito è la verità. 7 Poiché tre sono quelli che rendono testimonianza: 8 lo Spirito, l'acqua e il sangue, e questi tre sono concordi. 9 Se accettiamo la testimonianza degli uomini, la testimonianza di Dio è maggiore; e la testimonianza di Dio è quella che ha dato al suo Figlio. 10 Chi crede nel Figlio di Dio, ha questa testimonianza in sé. Chi non crede a Dio, fa di lui un bugiardo, perché non crede alla testimonianza che Dio ha reso a suo Figlio. 11 E la testimonianza è questa: Dio ci ha dato la vita eterna e questa vita è nel suo Figlio. 12 Chi ha il Figlio ha la vita; chi non ha il Figlio di Dio, non ha la vita.
13 Questo vi ho scritto perché sappiate che possedete la vita eterna, voi che credete nel nome del Figlio di Dio.
COMPLIMENTI
La preghiera per i peccatori
14 Questa è la fiducia che abbiamo in lui: qualunque cosa gli chiediamo secondo la sua volontà, egli ci ascolta. 15 E se sappiamo che ci ascolta in quello che gli chiediamo, sappiamo di avere gia quello che gli abbiamo chiesto.
16 Se uno vede il proprio fratello commettere un peccato che non conduce alla morte, preghi, e Dio gli darà la vita; s'intende a coloro che commettono un peccato che non conduce alla morte: c'è infatti un peccato che conduce alla morte; per questo dico di non pregare. 17 Ogni iniquità è peccato, ma c'è il peccato che non conduce alla morte.
Riassunto dell'epistola
18 Sappiamo che chiunque è nato da Dio non pecca: chi è nato da Dio preserva se stesso e il maligno non lo tocca. 19 Noi sappiamo che siamo da Dio, mentre tutto il mondo giace sotto il potere del maligno. 20 Sappiamo anche che il Figlio di Dio è venuto e ci ha dato l'intelligenza per conoscere il vero Dio. E noi siamo nel vero Dio e nel Figlio suo Gesù Cristo: egli è il vero Dio e la vita eterna.
21 Figlioli, guardatevi dai falsi dei!
1 John 5
New King James Version
Obedience by Faith
5 Whoever believes that (A)Jesus is the Christ is (B)born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and (C)keep His commandments. 3 (D)For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And (E)His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For (F)whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that (G)has overcome the world—[a]our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but (H)he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
The Certainty of God’s Witness
6 This is He who came (I)by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. (J)And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness [b]in heaven: the Father, (K)the Word, and the Holy Spirit; (L)and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: (M)the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
9 If we receive (N)the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; (O)for this is the witness of [c]God which He has testified of His Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God (P)has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God (Q)has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 (R)He who has the Son has [d]life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, [e]and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Confidence and Compassion in Prayer
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that (S)if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and (T)He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. (U)There is sin leading to death. (V)I do not say that he should pray about that. 17 (W)All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
Knowing the True—Rejecting the False
18 We know that (X)whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God (Y)keeps[f] [g]himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and (Z)the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
20 And we know that the (AA)Son of God has come and (AB)has given us an understanding, (AC)that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. (AD)This is the true God (AE)and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

La foi et ses conséquences
5 Quiconque croit que Jésus est le Christ est né de Dieu, et quiconque aime celui qui l’a engendré aime aussi celui qui est né de lui. 2 Nous connaissons que nous aimons les enfants de Dieu, lorsque nous aimons Dieu, et que nous pratiquons ses commandements. 3 Car l’amour de Dieu consiste à garder ses commandements. Et ses commandements ne sont pas pénibles, 4 car tout ce qui est né de Dieu triomphe du monde; et la victoire qui triomphe du monde, c’est notre foi. 5 Qui est celui qui a triomphé du monde, sinon celui qui croit que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu?
6 C’est lui, Jésus-Christ, qui est venu avec de l’eau et du sang; non avec l’eau seulement, mais avec l’eau et avec le sang; et c’est l’Esprit qui rend témoignage, parce que l’Esprit est la vérité. 7 Car il y en a trois qui rendent témoignage: 8 l’Esprit, l’eau et le sang, et les trois sont d’accord.
9 Si nous recevons le témoignage des hommes, le témoignage de Dieu est plus grand; car le témoignage de Dieu consiste en ce qu’il a rendu témoignage à son Fils. 10 Celui qui croit au Fils de Dieu a ce témoignage en lui-même; celui qui ne croit pas Dieu le fait menteur, puisqu’il ne croit pas au témoignage que Dieu a rendu à son Fils. 11 Et voici ce témoignage, c’est que Dieu nous a donné la vie éternelle, et que cette vie est dans son Fils. 12 Celui qui a le Fils a la vie; celui qui n’a pas le Fils de Dieu n’a pas la vie.
13 Je vous ai écrit ces choses, afin que vous sachiez que vous avez la vie éternelle, vous qui croyez au nom du Fils de Dieu.
14 Nous avons auprès de lui cette assurance que si nous demandons quelque chose selon sa volonté, il nous écoute. 15 Et si nous savons qu’il nous écoute, nous savons que nous possédons la chose que nous lui avons demandée, quelle qu’elle soit.
16 Si quelqu’un voit son frère commettre un péché qui ne mène point à la mort, qu’il prie, et Dieu donnera la vie à ce frère, il la donnera à ceux qui commettent un péché qui ne mène point à la mort. Il y a un péché qui mène à la mort; ce n’est pas pour ce péché-là que je dis de prier. 17 Toute iniquité est un péché, et il y a tel péché qui ne mène pas à la mort.
18 Nous savons que quiconque est né de Dieu ne pratique pas le péché[a]; mais celui qui est né de Dieu se garde lui-même, et le malin ne le touche pas. 19 Nous savons que nous sommes de Dieu, et que le monde entier est sous la puissance du malin. 20 Nous savons aussi que le Fils de Dieu est venu, et qu’il nous a donné l’intelligence pour connaître le Véritable; et nous sommes dans le Véritable en son Fils Jésus-Christ. C’est lui qui est le Dieu véritable, et la vie éternelle. 21 Petits enfants, gardez-vous des idoles.
