1 John 5
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)

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

Tron på Guds Son

5 Var och en som tror att Jesus är Kristus är född av Gud, och var och en som älskar Fadern älskar också hans barn. 2 Då vet vi att vi älskar Guds barn om vi älskar Gud och håller hans bud. 3 Detta är kärleken till Gud att vi håller hans bud. Och hans bud är inte tunga, 4 för alla som är födda av Gud övervinner världen. Detta är den seger som har övervunnit världen: vår tro. 5 Vem kan då övervinna världen? Bara den som tror att Jesus är Guds Son.

6 Han är den som kom genom vatten och blod, Jesus Kristus, inte bara genom vatten, utan genom både vatten och blod. Anden är den som vittnar, för Anden är sanningen. 7 Det är alltså tre som vittnar: 8 Anden, vattnet och blodet. Och alla tre är överens. 9 Om vi accepterar människors vittnesbörd är ju Guds vittnesbörd större, för det han har vittnat om är ett vittnesbörd om hans egen Son. 10 Den som tror på Guds Son har tagit emot vittnesbördet inom sig. Den som inte tror på Gud gör honom till lögnare, eftersom han inte tror på Guds vittnesbörd om hans egen son.

11 Och detta är vittnesbördet: att Gud har gett oss evigt liv och att det livet finns i hans Son. 12 Den som har Sonen äger livet, men den som inte har Guds Son har inte livet.

Avslutning

13 Detta har jag skrivit till er som tror på Guds Sons namn, för att ni ska veta att ni har evigt liv. 14 Detta är den frimodighet vi kan ha inför honom, att om vi ber honom om något i enlighet med hans vilja så hör han oss. 15 Och om vi vet att han hör oss, vad det än gäller, då vet vi också att vi får det vi har bett honom om.

16 Om någon ser en annan troende begå en synd som inte leder till döden så ska han be, och Gud ska ge den personen liv, åt dem som inte begår en dödssynd. Det finns synd som leder till döden, och jag säger inte att man ska be för dem som begår sådana synder. 17 All orättfärdighet är synd, men alla synder leder inte till döden.

18 Vi vet att ingen som är född av Gud fortsätter att synda, för han som är född av Gud skyddar dem, och den Onde kan inte röra dem. 19 Vi vet att vi är av Gud, och att hela världen är under den Ondes makt. 20 Vi vet också att Guds Son har kommit och gett oss förstånd, så att vi kan känna honom som är sann. Och nu lever vi i den Sanne, i hans Son, Jesus Kristus. Han är den sanne Guden och det eviga livet.

21 Mina barn, akta er för avgudar.

1 John 5
English Standard Version Anglicised

Overcoming the World

5 (A)Everyone who believes that (B)Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and (C)everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 (D)By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For (E)this is the love of God, that we (F)keep his commandments. And (G)his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For (H)everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—(I)our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes (J)that Jesus is the Son of God?

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

6 This is he who came (K)by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And (L)the Spirit is the one who testifies, because (M)the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. 9 (N)If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God (O)that he has borne concerning his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God (P)has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God (Q)has made him a liar, (R)because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us (S)eternal life, and (T)this life is in his Son. 12 (U)Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

That You May Know

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

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and (Z)God[a] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. (AA)There is sin that leads to death; (AB)I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 (AC)All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

18 We know that (AD)everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but (AE)he who was born of God (AF)protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are from God, and (AG)the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and (AH)has given us understanding, so that we may know (AI)him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and (AJ)eternal life. 21 Little children, (AK)keep yourselves from idols.
