約翰一書 5

1 凡信耶穌是基督的，都是從　神生的，凡愛那生他的，也必愛那從他而生的。2 我們若愛　神，並且遵行他的命令，就知道我們是愛　神的兒女了。3 我們遵守　神的命令，就是愛他了；而且他的命令是不難遵守的，4 因為凡從　神生的就勝過世界。使我們勝過世界的，就是我們的信心。

5 勝過世界的是誰呢？不就是那信耶穌是　神的兒子的嗎？

　神為他兒子作的見證

6 那藉著水和血來的就是耶穌基督，不是單用水，而是用水又用血；作見證的是聖靈，因為聖靈就是真理。7 原來作見證的有三樣，8 就是聖靈、水和血，這三樣是一致的。9 我們若接受人的見證，　神的見證就更強而有力了，因為這是　神為他的兒子作的見證。10 信　神的兒子的，就有這見證在他心裡；不信　神的，就是把　神當作說謊的，因為他不信　神為他兒子所作的見證。11 這見證就是　神已經把永遠的生命賜給我們，這生命是在他兒子裡面的。

12 凡有　神兒子的，就有生命；沒有　神兒子的，就沒有生命。

要照　神的旨意祈求

13 我把這些事寫給你們信　神的兒子之名的人，是要你們知道自己有永生。14 如果我們照著　神的旨意祈求，他必聽我們；這就是我們對　神所存的坦然無懼的心。

15 既然我們知道他聽我們的祈求，我們就知道，我們無論求甚麼，他必賜給我們。
16 如果有人看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪，他就要祈求，　神必因他的緣故，把生命賜給那些犯了不至於死的罪的人；有至於死的罪，我不說他應當為那罪祈求。

17 一切不義都是罪，但也有不至於死的罪。
18 我們知道凡從　神生的就不犯罪，而且從　神生的那一位也必保守他，連那惡者也不能碰他。19 我們知道我們是屬於　神的，而整個世界是伏在那惡者手下。20 我們知道　神的兒子已經來了，並且賜給我們悟性，使我們能認識那位真實者。我們也在那位真實者裡面，就是在他兒子耶穌基督裡面。這一位就是真神，也是永遠的生命。

21 孩子們，你們要保守自己遠離偶像。

1 John 5

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christt has been fatheredt by God, and everyone who loves the fathers loves the child fathered by him.s2 By thist we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and obey his commandments.3 Fort this is the love of God:t that we keep his commandments.t And his commandments do not weigh us down,

4 becauset everyonet who has been fathered by Gods conquerst the world.s
Thist is the conquering powert that has conqueredt the world: our faith.

Testimony About the Son

5 Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes thatt Jesus is the Son of God?6 Jesus Christ is the one who came by water and blood – not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, becauset the Spirit is the truth.7 Fort there are three that testify,sss

8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement.
9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, becauset thist is the testimony of God thatt he has testified concerning his Son.10 (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 testified concerning his Son.)s11 And this is the testimony: Godt has given us eternal life,s and this life is in his Son.

12 The one who has the Sons has thist eternalt life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have thist eternalt life.

Assurance of Eternal Life

13 I have written these thingst to you who believet in the name of the Son of God so thatt you may know that you have eternal life.
14 And this is the confidence that we have before him: thatt whenevert we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.15 And if we knowt that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.16 Ift anyone sees his fellow Christiant committing a sin not resulting in death,t he should ask, and Godt will grantt life to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death.t There is a sin resulting in death.t I do not say that he should ask about that.

17 All unrighteousnesst is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death.t
18 We know that everyone fatheredt by God does not sin, but Godt protectst the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him.19 We know that we are from God,t and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to knowt him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This ones is the true God and eternal life.

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.ss
