1 John 5 : 1 (HCSB)
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent also loves his child.
1 John 5 : 2 (HCSB)
This is how we know that we love God's children when we love God and obey His commands.
1 John 5 : 3 (HCSB)
For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Now His commands are not a burden,
1 John 5 : 4 (HCSB)
because whatever has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.
1 John 5 : 5 (HCSB)
And who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5 : 6 (HCSB)
Jesus Christ-- He is the One who came by water and blood; not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
1 John 5 : 7 (HCSB)
For there are three that testify:
1 John 5 : 8 (HCSB)
the Spirit, the water, and the blood-- and these three are in agreement.
1 John 5 : 9 (HCSB)
If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater, because it is God's testimony that He has given about His Son.
1 John 5 : 10 (HCSB)
(The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.)
1 John 5 : 11 (HCSB)
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1 John 5 : 12 (HCSB)
The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn't have the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5 : 13 (HCSB)
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
1 John 5 : 14 (HCSB)
Now this is the confidence we have before Him: whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5 : 15 (HCSB)
And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for.
1 John 5 : 16 (HCSB)
If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not bring death, he should ask, and God will give life to him-- to those who commit sin that doesn't bring death. There is sin that brings death. I am not saying he should pray about that.
1 John 5 : 17 (HCSB)
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that does not bring death.
1 John 5 : 18 (HCSB)
We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the One who is born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.
1 John 5 : 19 (HCSB)
We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one.
1 John 5 : 20 (HCSB)
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true One. We are in the true One-- that is, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
1 John 5 : 21 (HCSB)
Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
