1 John 5
New Matthew Bible
To love God is to keep his commandments. Faith overcomes the world. Everlasting life is in the Son of God. Of the sin unto death.
5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves him who begat, loves also the child who was born of him. 2 In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments. 3 This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not grievous. 4 For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This Jesus Christ is he who came by water and blood – not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is 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 which bear witness (in earth): the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three are one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God, which he testified of his Son. 10 He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is that testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son of God, does not have life.
13 These things I have written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life, and so that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the trust that we have in him: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we will have the petitions that we ask of him.
16 If anyone sees his brother sin a sin that is not unto death, let him ask, and he will give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death, for which I do not say that a person should pray. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin not unto death.
18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and that the world is altogether set on wickedness. 20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us a mind to know him who is true. And we are in him who is true through his Son Jesus Christ. This same is very God and eternal life.
21 Babes, keep yourselves
from idols.
Amen.

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.

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)
