约翰壹书 5

1 凡是相信耶稣是基督的，都是由神所生的。凡是爱那生身之父的，也都爱那由父所生的。2 当我们爱神，并遵行t他命令的时候，从这一点就知道我们爱神的儿女了。3 原来属神的爱是这样的，就是我们要遵守他的命令；而他的命令并不是沉重的，4 因为凡是由神所生的，就胜过世界；而这胜过世界的胜利，就是我们的信仰。5 胜过世界的到底是谁呢？难道不是那相信耶稣是神儿子的吗？

从神来的见证

6 藉着水和血而来的那一位，就是耶稣基督，不仅藉着水，也藉着水和血；并且圣灵是做见证的那一位，因为圣灵就是真理。7 原来，做见证的有三者：t8 圣灵、水和血；而这三者是一致的t。9 我们既然接受人的见证，神的见证就更应该接受t了，因为这是神的见证，就是神为他的儿子所做的见证。10 那信神儿子的，就有这见证在他里面；那不信神的，就把神当做说谎者，因为他不相信神为自己的儿子所做的见证。11 这见证就是：神把永恒的生命赐给了我们，并且这生命在他儿子里面。

12 那有了神儿子的，就有了这生命；那没有神儿子的，就没有这生命。13 我把这些事写给你们信神儿子之名的人，好让你们知道：你们有永恒的生命t。

有功效的祷告

14 我们对神所怀的确信是这样的：如果我们按照他的旨意求什么，他就垂听我们。15 如果我们已经知道凡是我们所求的他都垂听，我们就知道我们已经拥有了向他所求的。

16 如果有人看见自己的弟兄在犯不至于死的罪，就应该为他祈求；这样，神t将把生命赐给他，就是给那些犯不至于死的罪的人。有一种罪是至于死的；关于那种罪我不说要祈求。17 一切不义都是罪，也有不至于死的罪。

结语

18 我们知道：凡是由神所生的人，就不会继续犯罪；原来，由神所生的那一位保守着他tt，那恶者也就不碰他。

19 我们知道：我们属于神，但整个世界都伏在那恶者之下。

20 我们也知道：神的儿子已经来了，并且把领悟的心赐给了我们，使我们能认识真实的那一位t。我们在真实的那一位里面，也就是在他的儿子耶稣基督里面——这一位就是真神，就是永恒的生命。

21 孩子们哪，你们要保守自己远离偶像。t

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
