THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT WINS THE WORLD: OUR FAITH!

 

1 John 5

1 EVERYONE who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God; and everyone who loves him who begat him also loves him who is born of him.

2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

3. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome.

4. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

5. Who is it that overcomes the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6. This is he who came by water and blood, that is, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

7. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

8. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.

9. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God, that he testified of his Son.

10. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony which God gave to his Son.

11. And the testimony is this: that God has given us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

12. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God.

14. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15. And if we know that he hears us in all that we ask, we know that we obtain the petitions we asked him.

16. If anyone sees his brother sinning, a sin not leading to death, he will pray, and God will give him life for those who do not sin leading to death. There is sin unto death, and for that I say not pray.

17. All iniquity is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

18. We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.

19. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the evil one.

20. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and in what is True we are, that is, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

21. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
