Dual Panel1Everyone <3956> who believes <4100> that <3754> Jesus <2424> is <1510> the Christ <5547> has been fathered <1080> by <1537> God <2316>, and <2532> everyone <3956> who loves <25> the father <1080> loves <25> the child fathered <1080> by <1537> him <846>.
2By <1722> this <5129> we know <1097> that <3754> we love <25> the children <5043> of God <2316>: whenever <3752> we love <25> God <2316> and <2532> obey <4160> his <846> commandments <1785>.
3For <1063> this <3778> is <1510> the love <26> of God <2316>: that <2443> we keep <5083> his <846> commandments <1785>. And <2532> his <846> commandments <1785> do <1510> not <3756> weigh <926> us down,
4because <3754> everyone <3956> who has been fathered <1080> by <1537> God <2316> conquers <3528> the world <2889>. This <3778> is <1510> the conquering <3529> power that has conquered <3528> the world <2889>: our <2257> faith <4102>.
5Now who <5101> is <1510> the person who has conquered <3528> the world <2889> except <1487> <3361> the one who believes <4100> that <3754> Jesus <2424> is <1510> the Son <5207> of God <2316>?
6Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is <1510> the one who came <2064> by <1223> water <5204> and <2532> blood <129>– not <3756> by <1722> the water <5204> only <3440>, but <235> by <1722> the water <5204> and <2532> the blood <129>. And <2532> the Spirit <4151> is <1510> the one who testifies <3140>, because <3754> the Spirit <4151> is <1510> the truth <225>.
7For <3754> there are <1510> three <5140> that testify <3140>,
8the Spirit <4151> and <2532> the water <5204> and <2532> the blood <129>, and <2532> these three <5140> are <1510> in agreement <1520>.
9If <1487> we accept <2983> the testimony <3141> of men <444>, the testimony <3141> of God <2316> is <1510> greater <3187>, because <3754> this <3778> is <1510> the testimony <3141> of God <2316> that <3754> he has testified <3140> concerning <4012> his <846> Son <5207>.
10(The <3588> one who believes <4100> in <1519> the Son <5207> of God <2316> has <2192> the testimony <3141> in <1722> himself <846>; the one who does <4100> not <3361> believe <4100> God <2316> has made <4160> him <846> a liar <5583>, because <3754> he has <4100> not <3756> believed <4100> in <1519> the testimony <3141> that <3739> God <2316> has testified <3140> concerning <4012> his <846> Son <5207>.)
11And <2532> this <3778> is <1510> the testimony <3141>: God <2316> has given <1325> us <2254> eternal <166> life <2222>, and <2532> this <3778> life <2222> is <1510> in <1722> his <846> Son <5207>.
12The one who has <2192> the Son <5207> has <2192> this eternal life <2222>; the one who does <2192> not <3361> have <2192> the Son <5207> of God <2316> does <2192> not <3756> have <2192> this eternal life <2222>.
13I have written <1125> these things <5023> to you <5213> who believe <4100> in <1519> the name <3686> of the Son <5207> of God <2316> so that <2443> you may know <1492> that <3754> you have <2192> eternal <166> life <2222>.
14And <2532> this <3778> is <1510> the confidence <3954> that <3739> we have <2192> before <4314> him <846>: that <3754> whenever <1437> we ask <154> anything <5100> according <2596> to his <846> will <2307>, he hears <191> us <2257>.
15And <2532> if <1437> we know <1492> that <3754> he hears <191> us <2257> in regard to whatever <1437> we ask <154>, then we know <1492> that <3754> we have <2192> the requests <155> that <3739> we have asked <154> from <575> him <846>.
16If <1437> anyone <5100> sees <1492> his <846> fellow Christian <80> committing <264> a sin <266> not <3361> resulting in <4314> death <2288>, he should ask <154>, and <2532> God will grant <1325> life <2222> to <846> the person <846> who commits a sin <264> not <3361> resulting in <4314> death <2288>. There is <1510> a sin <266> resulting in <4314> death <2288>. I do <3004> not <3756> say <3004> that <2443> he should ask <2065> about <4012> that <1565>.
17All <3956> unrighteousness <93> is <1510> sin <266>, but <2532> there is <1510> sin <266> not <3756> resulting in <4314> death <2288>.
18We know <1492> that <3754> everyone <3956> fathered <1080> by <1537> God <2316> does <264> not <3756> sin <264>, but <235> God <2316> protects <5083> the one he <846> has fathered <1080>, and <2532> the evil one <4190> cannot <3756> touch <680> him <846>.
19We know <1492> that <3754> we are <1510> from <1537> God <2316>, and <2532> the whole <3650> world <2889> lies <2749> in <1722> the power of the evil one <4190>.
20And <1161> we know <1492> that <3754> the Son <5207> of God <2316> has come <2240> and <2532> has given <1325> us <2254> insight <1271> to <2443> know <1097> him who is true <228>, and <2532> we are <1510> in <1722> him who is true <228>, in <1722> his <846> Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. This one <3778> is <1510> the true <228> God <2316> and <2532> eternal <166> life <2222>.
21Little children <5040>, guard <5442> yourselves <1438> from <575> idols <1497>.
