约翰一书 5
信心使我们胜过世界
1 凡信耶稣是基督的，都是从上帝生的；凡爱生他之上帝的，也必爱从上帝生的t。 2 我们爱上帝，又实行t他的命令，由此就知道我们爱上帝的儿女了。 3 我们遵守上帝的命令，这就是爱他了，而且他的命令并不是难守的。 4 因为凡从上帝生的就胜过世界；使我们胜过世界的就是我们的信心。 5 胜过世界的是谁呢？不就是那信耶稣是上帝儿子的吗？
上帝为他儿子作的见证
6 这藉着水和血而来的，就是耶稣基督，不是单用水，而是用水又用血，并且有圣灵作见证，因为圣灵就是真理。 7 作见证的有三： 8 就是圣灵、水与血，这三样也都是一致的。 9 既然我们领受人的见证，上帝的见证更该领受t了，因为上帝的见证是为他儿子作的。 10 信上帝儿子的，就有这见证在他心里；不信上帝的，就是把上帝当作说谎的，因为不信上帝为他儿子作的见证。 11 这见证就是：上帝赐给我们永生，而这永生是在他儿子里面的。 12 那有上帝儿子的，就有生命；没有上帝儿子的，就没有生命。
知道自己有永生
13 我把这些话写给你们信奉上帝儿子之名的人，要让你们知道自己有永生。 14 我们若照着上帝的旨意祈求，他就垂听我们；这就是我们对他所存坦然无惧的心。 15 既然我们知道他听我们一切所求的，就知道我们所求于他的，无不得着。
16 人若看见弟兄犯了不至于死的罪，就要为他祈求，上帝必将生命赐给他—有些人犯的罪是不至于死的；有的是至于死的罪，我不是说要为这罪祈求。 17 一切不义的事都是罪，但也有不至于死的罪。
18 我们知道，凡从上帝生的，必不犯罪；从上帝生的那一位，必保守他，那邪恶者无法加害于他。 19 我们知道，我们是属上帝的，而全世界都伏在那邪恶者的权势之下。 20 我们知道，上帝的儿子已经来到，并且将悟性赐给我们，使我们认识那位真实者，我们也在那位真实者里面，就是在他儿子耶稣基督里面。这是真神，也是永生。 21 孩子们哪，你们要远避偶像。
1 JOHN 5
Victory over the World
1 If we believe Jesus is truly Christ, we are God's children. Everyone who loves the Father will also love his children. 2 If we love and obey God, we know we will love his children.
3 t We show our love for God by obeying his commandments, and they are not hard to follow.
4 Every child of God can defeat the world, and our faith is what gives us this victory.
5 No one can defeat the world without having faith in Jesus as the Son of God.Who Jesus Is
6 Water and blood came out from the side of Jesus Christ. It wasn't just water, but water and blood.t The Spirit tells about this, because the Spirit is truthful. 7 In fact, there are three who tell about it.
8 They are the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and they all agree.
9 We believe what people tell us. But we can trust what God says even more, and God is the one who has spoken about his Son. 10 If we have faith in God's Son, we have believed what God has said. But if we don't believe what God has said about his Son, it is the same as calling God a liar. 11 t God has also said he gave us eternal life and this life comes to us from his Son.
12 And so, if we have God's Son, we have this life. But if we don't have the Son, we don't have this life.Knowing about Eternal Life
13 All of you have faith in the Son of God, and I have written to let you know you have eternal life. 14 We are certain God will hear our prayers when we ask for what pleases him.
15 And if we know God listens when we pray, we are sure our prayers have already been answered.
16 Suppose you see one of our people commit a sin that isn't a deadly sin. You can pray, and this person will be given eternal life. But the sin must not be one that is deadly.
17 Everything that is wrong is sin, but not all sins are deadly.
18 We are sure God's children do not keep on sinning. God's own Son protects them, and the devil cannot harm them.
19 We are certain we come from God and the rest of the world is under the power of the devil.
20 We know that Jesus Christ the Son of God has come and has shown us the true God. And because of Jesus, we now belong to the true God who gives eternal life.
21 Children, you must stay away from idols.
