Book of Common Prayer
Everyone Born of God Believes Jesus Is His Son, Loves His People, Keeps His Commands
5 Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born[a] from God. And everyone loving the One[b] having fathered is loving also the one having been born[c] from Him. 2 By this we know that we are loving[d] the children of God: when we are loving God and doing His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God: that we be keeping His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
Because The One Born of God Is Victorious Over The World By Faith In Jesus
4 Because everything having been born from God is being-victorious-over the world. And this is the victory having been-victorious-over the world: our faith!
Who Indeed Is Victorious If Not The One Believing Jesus Is The Son of God!
5 And who is the one being-victorious-over the world if not the one believing[e] that Jesus is the Son of God!
Because Jesus Christ Has The Three-Fold Witness of God
6 This One is the One having come by water and blood[f]: Jesus Christ (not in[g] the water only, but[h] in the water and in the blood). And the Spirit is the One testifying, because[i] the Spirit is the truth. 7 Because[j] the ones testifying are three[k]: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood. And the three are for the[l] one thing. 9 If we receive the testimony of humans, the testimony of God is greater!
Because God Himself Has Testified That He Has Given Us Eternal Life In His Son
Because[m] this is the testimony of God: that[n] He has testified about His Son! 10 The one believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one not believing God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified about His Son. 11 And this is the testimony[o]: that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 The one having the Son has the life. The one not having the Son of God does not have the life.
In Simon’s Home That Night, Many Are Healed
38 And having arisen from the synagogue, He entered into the house of Simon. Now the mother-in-law of Simon was being gripped[a] with a high fever. And they asked Him concerning her. 39 And having stood over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her. And having stood up at-once, she was serving them. 40 And while the sun was setting[b], all who were having ones being sick with various diseases brought them to Him. And the One, laying His hands on each one of them, was curing them. 41 And demons also were coming out from many, shouting, and saying that “You are the Son of God!” And rebuking them, He was not allowing them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ.
Jesus Proceeds On To Announce The Kingdom of God To Other Cities
42 And having become day, having gone out, He went to a desolate[c] place. And the crowds were seeking-for Him. And they came to Him and were holding[d] Him back that He might not proceed from them. 43 And the One said to them that “I must also announce the kingdom of God as good news to the other cities, because I was sent-forth for this purpose”.
While Jesus Teaches The Crowds By The Lake of Gennesaret, He Uses Simon’s Boat
44 And He was proclaiming in the synagogues of Judea.
