Vjerom pobjeđujemo

Tko god vjeruje da je Isus Krist, Božje je dijete. Tko god voli Oca, voljet će i njegovo dijete. Po ovome znamo da volimo Božju djecu: jer volimo Boga i vršimo njegove zapovijedi. Voljeti Boga znači vršiti njegove zapovijedi, a njegove zapovijedi nisu teške. Svatko tko je postao Božje dijete, pobjeđuje svijet, a pobjeđujemo svojom vjerom. Dakle, tko pobjeđuje svijet? Samo onaj tko vjeruje da je Isus Božji Sin.

Božji Sin

Isus Krist je onaj koji je došao s vodom i krvlju. Ne samo s vodom nego s vodom i krvlju, a Duh je taj koji to potvrđuje. Duh je istina. Tri su svjedoka: Duh, voda i krv. I sva se tri svjedoka slažu. Mi vjerujemo ljudima kada svjedoče za nešto, a Božje je svjedočanstvo mnogo važnije. A ovo nam je Bog rekao: on je svjedočio o svome Sinu. 10 Tko vjeruje u Božjeg Sina, ima to svjedočanstvo u sebi. Tko ne vjeruje Bogu, pravi od njega lažljivca jer ne vjeruje u istinu koju je Bog rekao o svome Sinu. 11 A ovo je svjedočanstvo: Bog nam je dao vječni život i taj je život u njegovom Sinu. 12 Tko ima Sina, ima život. Tko nema Božjega Sina, nema života.

Vječni život

13 Ovo pišem vama, koji vjerujete u ime Božjega Sina, kako biste znali da imate vječni život. 14 Ovo je pouzdanje koje imamo: Bog nas čuje kada tražimo ono što je po njegovoj volji. 15 Ako znamo da nas čuje, što god da molimo, znamo da već imamo ono što smo tražili.

16 Ako tko vidi svoga brata ili sestru kako čini grijeh koji ne vodi u smrt, neka moli za njih i Bog će im dati život. Govorim, naime, o onima čiji grijeh ne vodi u smrt. No postoji grijeh koji vodi u smrt; ne kažem da se za njega moli. 17 Svaki je nepravedan postupak grijeh, ali postoji grijeh koji ne vodi u smrt. 18 Znamo da nijedan čovjek, koji je Božje dijete[a], više ne nastavlja griješiti. Čuva ga Božji Sin[b] pa ga Zli ne može dotaknuti. 19 Mi znamo da pripadamo Bogu, premda je čitav svijet u vlasti Zloga. 20 Mi znamo da je Božji Sin došao i dao nam razum da možemo upoznati istinitoga Boga i mi u njemu živimo. Mi smo u njegovom Sinu Isusu Kristu. On je pravi Bog i vječni život. 21 Djeco draga, čuvajte se lažnih bogova!

Overcoming the World

(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. (D)By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For (E)this is the love of God, that we (F)keep his commandments. And (G)his commandments are not burdensome. 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. 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

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. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. (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 toward 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.
