1 John 5:1-21 BSB

[1] Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those 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] because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. [5] Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. [6] This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ — not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth. [7] For there are three that testify: [8] the Spirit, the water, and the blood — and these three are in agreement. [9] Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son. [10] Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son. [11] And this is that testimony: 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] 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. [14] And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. [15] And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him. [16] If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin. [17] All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death. [18] We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him. [19] We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one. [20] And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true — in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. [21] Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
