1John 1 1. That which <3739-hos-> was from the beginning <0746-arche->, which <3739-hos-> we have heard <0191-akouo->, which <3739-hos-> we have seen <3708-horao-> with our eyes <3788-ophthalmos->, which <3739-hos-> we have looked <2300-theaomai-> upon, and our hands <5495-cheir-> have handled <5584-pselaphao->, of the Word <3056-logos-> of life <2222-zoe->; 2 (For the life <2222-zoe-> was manifested <5319-phaneroo->, and we have seen <3708-horao-> [it], and bear <3140-martureo-> witness <3140-martureo->, and shew <0518-apaggello-> unto you that eternal <0166-aionios-> life <2222-zoe->, which <3748- hostis-> was with the Father <3962-pater->, and was manifested <5319-phaneroo-> unto us;) 3 That which <3739-hos-> we have seen <3708-horao-> and heard <0191-akouo-> declare <0518-apaggello-> we unto you, that ye also <2532-kai-> may have <2192-echo-> fellowship <2842-koinonia- > with us: and truly <1161-de-> our fellowship <2842-koinonia-> [is] with the Father <3962-pater->, and with his Son <5207-huios- > Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->. 4 And these <5023-tauta-> things write <1125-grapho-> we unto you, that your <5216-humon-> joy <5479-chara-> may be full <4137- pleroo->. 5. This <3778-houtos-> then <2532-kai-> is the message <1860- epaggelia-> which <3739-hos-> we have heard <0191-akouo-> of him, and declare <0312-anaggello-> unto you, that God <2316-theos-> is light <5457-phos->, and in him is no <3756-ou-> darkness <4653-skotia-> at <3762-oudeis-> all <3762-oudeis->. 6 If <1437-ean-> we say <2036-epo-> that we have <2192-echo-> fellowship <2842-koinonia-> with him, and walk <4043-peripateo-> in darkness <4655-skotos->, we lie <5574-pseudomai->, and do <4160-poieo-> not the truth <0225-aletheia->: 7 But if <1437-ean-> we walk <4043-peripateo-> in the light <5457-phos->, as he is in the light <5457-phos->, we have <2192- echo-> fellowship <2842-koinonia-> one <3391-mia-> with another <0240-allelon->, and the blood <0129-haima-> of Jesus <2424- Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> his Son <5207-huios-> cleanseth <2511-katharizo-> us from all <3956-pas-> sin <0266-hamartia->. 8. If <1437-ean-> we say <2036-epo-> that we have <2192-echo-> no <3756-ou-> sin <0266-hamartia->, we deceive <4105-planao-> ourselves <1438-heautou->, and the truth <0225-aletheia-> is not in us. 9 If <1437-ean-> we confess <3670-homologeo-> our sins <0266- hamartia->, he is faithful <4103-pistos-> and just <1342-dikaios- > to forgive <0863-aphiemi-> us [our] sins <0266-hamartia->, and to cleanse <2511-katharizo-> us from all <3956-pas-> unrighteousness <0093-adikia->. 10 If <1437-ean-> we say <2036-epo-> that we have not sinned <0264-hamartano->, we make <4160-poieo-> him a liar <5583- pseustes->, and his word <3056-logos-> is not in us. 1John 2 1. My little <5040-teknion-> children <5040-teknion->, these <5023-tauta-> things write <1125-grapho-> I unto you, that ye sin <0264-hamartano-> not. And if <1437-ean-> any <5100-tis-> man sin <0264-hamartano->, we have <2192-echo-> an advocate <3875-parakletos-> with the Father <3962-pater->, Jesus <2424- Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> the righteous <1342-dikaios->: 2 And he is the propitiation <2434-hilasmos-> for our sins <0266-hamartia->: and not for ours <2251-hemeteros-> only <3440- monon->, but also <2532-kai-> for [the sins of] the whole <3650- holos-> world <2889-kosmos->. 3. And hereby <5129-toutoi-> we do know <1097-ginosko-> that we know <1097-ginosko-> him, if <1437-ean-> we keep <5083-tereo-> his commandments <1785-entole->. 4 He that saith <3004-lego->, I know <1097-ginosko-> him, and keepeth <5083-tereo-> not his commandments <1785-entole->, is a liar <5583-pseustes->, and the truth <0225-aletheia-> is not in him. 5 But whoso <0302-an-> keepeth <5083-tereo-> his word <3056- logos->, in him verily <0230-alethos-> is the love <0026-agape-> of God <2316-theos-> perfected <5048-teleioo->: hereby <5129- toutoi-> know <1097-ginosko-> we that we are in him. 6 He that saith <3004-lego-> he abideth <3306-meno-> in him ought <3784-opheilo-> himself <0846-autos-> also <2532-kai-> so <3779-houto-> to walk <4043-peripateo->, even <2531-kathos-> as he walked <4043-peripateo->. 7. Brethren <0080-adephos->, I write <1125-grapho-> no <3756-ou- > new <2537-kainos-> commandment <1785-entole-> unto you, but an old <3820-palaios-> commandment <1785-entole-> which <3739-hos-> ye had <2192-echo-> from the beginning <0746-arche->. The old <3820-palaios-> commandment <1785-entole-> is the word <3056- logos-> which <3739-hos-> ye have heard <0191-akouo-> from the beginning <0746-arche->. 8 Again <3825-palin->, a new <2537-kainos-> commandment <1785- entole-> I write <1125-grapho-> unto you, which <3739-hos-> thing is true <0257-halon-> in him and in you: because <3754- hoti-> the darkness <4653-skotia-> is past <3855-parago->, and the true <0228-alethinos-> light <5457-phos-> now <2236-hedista- > shineth <5316-phaino->. 9 He that saith <3004-lego-> he is in the light <5457-phos->, and hateth <3404-miseo-> his brother <0080-adephos->, is in darkness <4653-skotia-> even until <2193-heos-> now <0737-arti->. 10 He that loveth <0025-agapao-> his brother <0080-adephos-> abideth <3306-meno-> in the light <5457-phos->, and there is none <3756-ou-> occasion <4625-skandalon-> of stumbling <4625- skandalon-> in him. 11 But he that hateth <3404-miseo-> his brother <0080-adephos-> is in darkness <4653-skotia->, and walketh <4043-peripateo-> in darkness <4653-skotia->, and knoweth <1492-eido-> not whither <4226-pou-> he goeth <5217-hupago->, because <3754-hoti-> that darkness <4653-skotia-> hath blinded <5186-tuphloo-> his eyes <3788-ophthalmos->. 12. I write <1125-grapho-> unto you, little <5040-teknion-> children <5040-teknion->, because <3754-hoti-> your <3588-ho-> sins <0266-hamartia-> are forgiven <0863-aphiemi-> you for his name's <3686-onoma-> sake. 13 I write <1125-grapho-> unto you, fathers <3962-pater->, because <3754-hoti-> ye have known <1097-ginosko-> him [that is] from the beginning <0746-arche->. I write <1125-grapho-> unto you, young <3495-neaniskos-> men <3495-neaniskos->, because <3754-hoti-> ye have overcome <3528-nikao-> the wicked <4190- poneros-> one. I write <1125-grapho-> unto you, little <3813- paidion-> children <3813-paidion->, because <3754-hoti-> ye have known <1097-ginosko-> the Father <3962-pater->. 14 I have written <1125-grapho-> unto you, fathers <3962-pater- >, because <3754-hoti-> ye have known <1097-ginosko-> him [that is] from the beginning <0746-arche->. I have written <1125- grapho-> unto you, young <3495-neaniskos-> men <3495-neaniskos->, because <3754-hoti-> ye are strong <2478-ischuros->, and the word <3056-logos-> of God <2316-theos-> abideth <3306-meno-> in you, and ye have overcome <3528-nikao-> the wicked <4190-poneros- > one. 15 Love <0025-agapao-> not the world <2889-kosmos->, neither <3366-mede-> the things [that are] in the world <2889-kosmos->. If <1437-ean-> any <5100-tis-> man love <0025-agapao-> the world <2889-kosmos->, the love <0026-agape-> of the Father <3962-pater- > is not in him. 16 For all <3956-pas-> that [is] in the world <2889-kosmos->, the lust <1939-epithumia-> of the flesh <4561-sarx->, and the lust <1939-epithumia-> of the eyes <3788-ophthalmos->, and the pride <0212-alazoneia-> of life <0979-bios->, is not of the Father <3962-pater->, but is of the world <2889-kosmos->. 17 And the world <2889-kosmos-> passeth <3855-parago-> away, and the lust <1939-epithumia-> thereof <0846-autos->: but he that doeth <4160-poieo-> the will <2307-thelema-> of God <2316- theos-> abideth <3306-meno-> for ever <0165-aion->. 18. Little <3813-paidion-> children <3813-paidion->, it is the last <2078-eschatos-> time <5610-hora->: and as ye have heard <0191-akouo-> that antichrist <0500-antichristos-> shall come <2064-erchomai->, even <2532-kai-> now <3568-nun-> are there many <4183-polus-> antichrists <0500-antichristos->; whereby <3606-hothen-> we know <1097-ginosko-> that it is the last <2078- eschatos-> time <5610-hora->. 19 They went <1831-exerchomai-> out from us, but they were not of us; for if <1487-ei-> they had been <2258-en-> of us, they would [no doubt] have continued <3306-meno-> with us: but [they went out], that they might be made <5319-phaneroo-> manifest <5319-phaneroo-> that they were not all <3956-pas-> of us. 20. But ye have <2192-echo-> an unction <5545-chrisma-> from the Holy <0040-hagios-> One, and ye know <1492-eido-> all <3956- pas-> things. 21 I have not written <1125-grapho-> unto you because <3754- hoti-> ye know <1492-eido-> not the truth <0225-aletheia->, but because <3754-hoti-> ye know <1492-eido-> it, and that no <3756- ou-> lie <5579-pseudos-> is of the truth <0225-aletheia->. 22 Who <5101-tis-> is a liar <5583-pseustes-> but he that denieth <0720-arneomai-> that Jesus <2424-Iesous-> is the Christ <5547-Christos->? He is antichrist <0500-antichristos->, that denieth <0720-arneomai-> the Father <3962-pater-> and the Son <5207-huios->. 23 Whosoever <3588-ho-> denieth <0720-arneomai-> the Son <5207- huios->, the same <3761-oude-> hath <2192-echo-> not the Father <3962-pater->: [(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath <2192- echo-> the Father also <2532-kai->]. 24 Let that therefore <3767-oun-> abide <3306-meno-> in you, which <3739-hos-> ye have heard <0191-akouo-> from the beginning <0746-arche->. If <1437-ean-> that which <3739-hos-> ye have heard <0191-akouo-> from the beginning <0746-arche-> shall remain <3306-meno-> in you, ye also <2532-kai-> shall continue <3306-meno-> in the Son <5207-huios->, and in the Father <3962- pater->. 25 And this <3778-houtos-> is the promise <1860-epaggelia-> that he hath promised <1861-epaggello-> us, [even] eternal <0166- aionios-> life <2222-zoe->. 26 These <5023-tauta-> [things] have I written <1125-grapho-> unto you concerning <4012-peri-> them that seduce <4105-planao-> you. 27 But the anointing <5545-chrisma-> which <3739-hos-> ye have received <2983-lambano-> of him abideth <3306-meno-> in you, and ye need <5532-chreia-> not that any <5100-tis-> man teach <1321- didasko-> you: but as the same <0846-autos-> anointing <5545- chrisma-> teacheth <1321-didasko-> you of all <3956-pas-> things, and is truth <0227-alethes->, and is no <3756-ou-> lie <5579- pseudos->, and even <2531-kathos-> as it hath taught <1321- didasko-> you, ye shall abide <3306-meno-> in him. 28. And now <3568-nun->, little <5040-teknion-> children <5040- teknion->, abide <3306-meno-> in him; that, when <3752-hotan-> he shall appear <5319-phaneroo->, we may have <2192-echo-> confidence <3954-parrhesia->, and not be ashamed <0153- aischunomai-> before <0575-apo-> him at <1722-en-> his coming <3952-parousia->. 29 If <1437-ean-> ye know <1492-eido-> that he is righteous <1342-dikaios->, ye know <1097-ginosko-> that every <3956-pas-> one that doeth <4160-poieo-> righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> is born <1080-gennao-> of him. 1John 3 1. Behold <1492-eido->, what <4217-potapos-> manner <4217- potapos-> of love <0026-agape-> the Father <3962-pater-> hath bestowed <1325-didomi-> upon us, that we should be called <2564- kaleo-> the sons <5043-teknon-> of God <2316-theos->: therefore <5124-touto-> the world <2889-kosmos-> knoweth <1097-ginosko-> us not, because <3754-hoti-> it knew <1097-ginosko-> him not. 2 Beloved <0027-agapetos->, now <3568-nun-> are we the sons <5043-teknon-> of God <2316-theos->, and it doth not yet <3768- oupo-> appear <5319-phaneroo-> what <5101-tis-> we shall be: but we know <1492-eido-> that, when <1437-ean-> he shall appear <5319-phaneroo->, we shall be like <3664-homoios-> him; for we shall see <3700-optanomai-> him as he is. 3 And every <3956-pas-> man that hath <2192-echo-> this <5026- taute-> hope <1680-elpis-> in him purifieth <0048-hagnizo-> himself <1438-heautou->, even <2531-kathos-> as he is pure <0053- hagnos->. 4. Whosoever <3588-ho-> committeth <4160-poieo-> sin <0266- hamartia-> transgresseth <4160-poieo-> also <2532-kai-> the law <0458-anomia->: for sin <0266-hamartia-> is the transgression <0458-anomia-> of the law <0458-anomia->. 5 And ye know <1492-eido-> that he was manifested <5319- phaneroo-> to take <0142-airo-> away our sins <0266-hamartia->; and in him is no <3756-ou-> sin <0266-hamartia->. 6 Whosoever <3588-ho-> abideth <3306-meno-> in him sinneth <0264-hamartano-> not: whosoever <3588-ho-> sinneth <0264- hamartano-> hath not seen <3708-horao-> him, neither <3761-oude- > known <1097-ginosko-> him. 7 Little <5040-teknion-> children <5040-teknion->, let no <3367- medeis-> man <3367-medeis-> deceive <4105-planao-> you: he that doeth <4160-poieo-> righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> is righteous <1342-dikaios->, even <2531-kathos-> as he is righteous <1342-dikaios->. 8 He that committeth <4160-poieo-> sin <0266-hamartia-> is of the devil <1228-diabolos->; for the devil <1228-diabolos-> sinneth <0264-hamartano-> from the beginning <0746-arche->. For this <5124-touto-> purpose the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316- theos-> was manifested <5319-phaneroo->, that he might destroy <3089-luo-> the works <2041-ergon-> of the devil <1228-diabolos- >. 9 Whosoever <3588-ho-> is born <1080-gennao-> of God <2316- theos-> doth not commit <4160-poieo-> sin <0266-hamartia->; for his seed <4690-sperma-> remaineth <3306-meno-> in him: and he cannot <1410-dunamai-> sin <0264-hamartano->, because <3754-hoti- > he is born <1080-gennao-> of God <2316-theos->. 10 In this <5129-toutoi-> the children <5043-teknon-> of God <2316-theos-> are manifest <5318-phaneros->, and the children <5043-teknon-> of the devil <1228-diabolos->: whosoever <3588-ho- > doeth <4160-poieo-> not righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> is not of God <2316-theos->, neither he that loveth <0025-agapao-> not his brother <0080-adephos->. 11. For this <2778-kensos-> is the message <0031-aggelia-> that ye heard <0191-akouo-> from the beginning <0746-arche->, that we should love <0025-agapao-> one <0240-allelon-> another <0240- allelon->. 12 Not as Cain <2535-Kain->, [who] was of that wicked <4190- poneros-> one, and slew <4969-sphazo-> his brother <0080-adephos- >. And wherefore <5101-tis-> slew <4969-sphazo-> he him? Because <3754-hoti-> his own works <2041-ergon-> were evil <4190-poneros- >, and his brother's <0080-adephos-> righteous <1342-dikaios->. 13 Marvel <2296-thaumazo-> not, my brethren <0080-adephos->, if <1487-ei-> the world <2889-kosmos-> hate <3404-miseo-> you. 14. We know <1492-eido-> that we have passed <3327-metabaino-> from death <2288-thanatos-> unto life <2222-zoe->, because <3754- hoti-> we love <0025-agapao-> the brethren <0080-adephos->. He that loveth <0025-agapao-> not [his] brother <0080-adephos-> abideth <3306-meno-> in death <2288-thanatos->. 15 Whosoever <3588-ho-> hateth <3404-miseo-> his brother <0080- adephos-> is a murderer <0443-anthropoktonos->: and ye know <1492-eido-> that no <3756-ou-> murderer <0443-anthropoktonos-> hath <2192-echo-> eternal <0166-aionios-> life <2222-zoe-> abiding <3306-meno-> in him. 16 Hereby <5129-toutoi-> perceive <1097-ginosko-> we the love <0026-agape-> [of God], because <3754-hoti-> he laid <5087- tithemi-> down his life <5590-psuche-> for us: and we ought <3784-opheilo-> to lay <5087-tithemi-> down <2597-katabaino-> [our] lives <5590-psuche-> for the brethren <0080-adephos->. 17 But whoso <0302-an-> hath <2192-echo-> this <3588-ho-> world's <2889-kosmos-> good <0979-bios->, and seeth <2334- theoreo-> his brother <0080-adephos-> have <2192-echo-> need <5532-chreia->, and shutteth <2808-kleio-> up his bowels <4698- splagchnon-> [of compassion] from him, how <4459-pos-> dwelleth <3306-meno-> the love <0026-agape-> of God <2316-theos-> in him? 18 My little <5040-teknion-> children <5040-teknion->, let us not love <0025-agapao-> in word <3056-logos->, neither <3366- mede-> in tongue <1100-glossa->; but in deed <2041-ergon-> and in truth <0225-aletheia->. 19 And hereby <5129-toutoi-> we know <1097-ginosko-> that we are of the truth <0225-aletheia->, and shall assure <3982-peitho- > our hearts <2588-kardia-> before <1715-emprosthen-> him. 20. For if <1437-ean-> our heart <2588-kardia-> condemn <2607- kataginosko-> us, God <2316-theos-> is greater <3187-meizon-> than our heart <2588-kardia->, and knoweth <1097-ginosko-> all <3956-pas-> things. 21 Beloved <0027-agapetos->, if <1437-ean-> our heart <2588- kardia-> condemn <2607-kataginosko-> us not, [then] have <2192- echo-> we confidence <3954-parrhesia-> toward <4314-pros-> God <2316-theos->. 22 And whatsoever <1437-ean-> we ask <0154-aiteo->, we receive <2983-lambano-> of him, because <3754-hoti-> we keep <5083-tereo- > his commandments <1785-entole->, and do <4160-poieo-> those <3588-ho-> things that are pleasing <0701-arestos-> in his sight <1799-enopion->. 23. And this <3778-houtos-> is his commandment <1785-entole->, That we should believe <4100-pisteuo-> on the name <3686-onoma-> of his Son <5207-huios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547- Christos->, and love <0025-agapao-> one <0240-allelon-> another <0240-allelon->, as he gave <1325-didomi-> us commandment <1785- entole->. 24 And he that keepeth <5083-tereo-> his commandments <1785- entole-> dwelleth <3306-meno-> in him, and he in him. And hereby <5129-toutoi-> we know <1097-ginosko-> that he abideth <3306- meno-> in us, by the Spirit <4151-pneuma-> which <3739-hos-> he hath given <1325-didomi-> us. 1John 4 1. Beloved <0027-agapetos->, believe <4100-pisteuo-> not every <3956-pas-> spirit <4151-pneuma->, but try <1381-dokimazo-> the spirits <4151-pneuma-> whether <1487-ei-> they are of God <2316- theos->: because <3754-hoti-> many <4183-polus-> false <5578- pseudoprophetes-> prophets <5578-pseudoprophetes-> are gone <1831-exerchomai-> out into <1519-eis-> the world <2889-kosmos->. 2 Hereby <5129-toutoi-> know <1097-ginosko-> ye the Spirit <4151-pneuma-> of God <2316-theos->: Every <3956-pas-> spirit <4151-pneuma-> that confesseth <3670-homologeo-> that Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> is come <2064-erchomai-> in the flesh <4561-sarx-> is of God <2316-theos->: 3 And every <3956-pas-> spirit <4151-pneuma-> that confesseth <3670-homologeo-> not that Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547- Christos-> is come <2064-erchomai-> in the flesh <4561-sarx-> is not of God <2316-theos->: and this <5124-touto-> is that [spirit] of antichrist <0500-antichristos->, whereof <3739-hos-> ye have heard <0191-akouo-> that it should come <2064-erchomai->; and even <2532-kai-> now <3568-nun-> already <2235-ede-> is it in the world <2889-kosmos->. 4. Ye are of God <2316-theos->, little <5040-teknion-> children <5040-teknion->, and have overcome <3528-nikao-> them: because <3754-hoti-> greater <3187-meizon-> is he that is in you, than <2228-e-> he that is in the world <2889-kosmos->. 5 They are of the world <2889-kosmos->: therefore <5124-touto-> speak <2980-laleo-> they of the world <2889-kosmos->, and the world <2889-kosmos-> heareth <0191-akouo-> them. 6 We are of God <2316-theos->: he that knoweth <1097-ginosko-> God <2316-theos-> heareth <0191-akouo-> us; he that is not of God <2316-theos-> heareth <0191-akouo-> not us. Hereby <5124- touto-> know <1097-ginosko-> we the spirit <4151-pneuma-> of truth <0225-aletheia->, and the spirit <4151-pneuma-> of error <4106-plane->. 7. Beloved <0027-agapetos->, let us love <0025-agapao-> one <0240-allelon-> another <0240-allelon->: for love <0026-agape-> is of God <2316-theos->; and every <3956-pas-> one that loveth <0025-agapao-> is born <1080-gennao-> of God <2316-theos->, and knoweth <1097-ginosko-> God <2316-theos->. 8 He that loveth <0025-agapao-> not knoweth <1097-ginosko-> not God <2316-theos->; for God <2316-theos-> is love <0026-agape->. 9 In this <5129-toutoi-> was manifested <5319-phaneroo-> the love <0026-agape-> of God <2316-theos-> toward <1722-en-> us, because <3754-hoti-> that God <2316-theos-> sent <0649-apostello- > his only <3439-monogenes-> begotten <3439-monogenes-> Son <5207-huios-> into <1519-eis-> the world <2889-kosmos->, that we might live <2198-zao-> through <1223-dia-> him. 10 Herein <5129-toutoi-> is love <0026-agape->, not that we loved <0025-agapao-> God <2316-theos->, but that he loved <0025- agapao-> us, and sent <0649-apostello-> his Son <5207-huios-> [to be] the propitiation <2434-hilasmos-> for our sins <0266- hamartia->. 11 Beloved <0027-agapetos->, if <1487-ei-> God <2316-theos-> so <3779-houto-> loved <0025-agapao-> us, we ought <3784-opheilo-> also <2532-kai-> to love <0025-agapao-> one <0240-allelon-> another <0240-allelon->. 12 No <3762-oudeis-> man <3762-oudeis-> hath seen <2300- theaomai-> God <2316-theos-> at <4455-popote-> any <4455-popote- > time <4455-popote->. If <1437-ean-> we love <0026-agape-> one <0240-allelon-> another <0240-allelon->, God <2316-theos-> dwelleth <3306-meno-> in us, and his love <0025-agapao-> is perfected <5048-teleioo-> in us. 13 Hereby <5129-toutoi-> know <1097-ginosko-> we that we dwell <3306-meno-> in him, and he in us, because <3754-hoti-> he hath given <1325-didomi-> us of his Spirit <4151-pneuma->. 14. And we have seen <2300-theaomai-> and do testify <3140- martureo-> that the Father <3962-pater-> sent <0649-apostello-> the Son <5207-huios-> [to be] the Saviour <4990-soter-> of the world <2889-kosmos->. 15 Whosoever <0302-an-> shall confess <3670-homologeo-> that Jesus <2424-Iesous-> is the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316-theos- >, God <2316-theos-> dwelleth <3306-meno-> in him, and he in God <2316-theos->. 16 And we have known <1097-ginosko-> and believed <4100-pisteuo- > the love <0026-agape-> that God <2316-theos-> hath <2192-echo- > to us. God <2316-theos-> is love <0026-agape->; and he that dwelleth <3306-meno-> in love <0026-agape-> dwelleth <3306-meno- > in God <2316-theos->, and God <2316-theos-> in him. 17. Herein <5129-toutoi-> is our love <0026-agape-> made <5048- teleioo-> perfect <5048-teleioo->, that we may have <2192-echo-> boldness <3954-parrhesia-> in the day <2250-hemera-> of judgment <2920-krisis->: because <3754-hoti-> as he is, so <2532-kai-> are we in this <5129-toutoi-> world <2889-kosmos->. 18 There is no <3756-ou-> fear <5401-phobos-> in love <0026- agape->; but perfect <5046-teleios-> love <0026-agape-> casteth <0906-ballo-> out fear <5401-phobos->: because <3754-hoti-> fear <5401-phobos-> hath <2192-echo-> torment <2851-kolasis->. He that feareth <5399-phobeo-> is not made <5048-teleioo-> perfect <5048-teleioo-> in love <0026-agape->. 19 We love <0025-agapao-> him, because <3754-hoti-> he first <4413-protos-> loved <0025-agapao-> us. 20 If <1437-ean-> a man say <2036-epo->, I love <0025-agapao-> God <2316-theos->, and hateth <3404-miseo-> his brother <0080- adephos->, he is a liar <5583-pseustes->: for he that loveth <0025-agapao-> not his brother <0080-adephos-> whom <3739-hos-> he hath seen <3708-horao->, how <4459-pos-> can <1410-dunamai-> he love <0025-agapao-> God <2316-theos-> whom <3739-hos-> he hath not seen <3708-horao->? 21 And this <5026-taute-> commandment <1785-entole-> have <2192- echo-> we from him, That he who loveth <0025-agapao-> God <2316- theos-> love <0025-agapao-> his brother <0080-adephos-> also <2532-kai->. 1John 5 1. Whosoever <3588-ho-> believeth <4100-pisteuo-> that Jesus <2424-Iesous-> is the Christ <5547-Christos-> is born <1080- gennao-> of God <2316-theos->: and every <3956-pas-> one that loveth <0025-agapao-> him that begat <1080-gennao-> loveth <0025- agapao-> him also <2532-kai-> that is begotten <1080-gennao-> of him. 2 By this <5129-toutoi-> we know <1097-ginosko-> that we love <0025-agapao-> the children <5043-teknon-> of God <2316-theos->, when <3752-hotan-> we love <0025-agapao-> God <2316-theos->, and keep <5083-tereo-> his commandments <1785-entole->. 3 For this <3778-houtos-> is the love <0026-agape-> of God <2316-theos->, that we keep <5083-tereo-> his commandments <1785- entole->: and his commandments <1785-entole-> are not grievous <0926-barus->. 4 For whatsoever <3956-pas-> is born <1080-gennao-> of God <2316-theos-> overcometh <3528-nikao-> the world <2889-kosmos->: and this <3778-houtos-> is the victory <3529-nike-> that overcometh <3528-nikao-> the world <2889-kosmos->, [even] our faith <4102-pistis->. 5 Who <5101-tis-> is he that overcometh <3528-nikao-> the world <2889-kosmos->, but he that believeth <4100-pisteuo-> that Jesus <2424-Iesous-> is the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316-theos->? 6. This <3778-houtos-> is he that came <2064-erchomai-> by water <5204-hudor-> and blood <0129-haima->, [even] Jesus <2424- Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->; not by water <5204-hudor-> only <3440-monon->, but by water <5204-hudor-> and blood <0129- haima->. And it is the Spirit <4151-pneuma-> that beareth <3140- martureo-> witness <3140-martureo->, because <3754-hoti-> the Spirit <4151-pneuma-> is truth <0225-aletheia->. 7 For there are three <5140-treis-> that bear <3140-martureo-> record <3140-martureo-> in heaven <3772-ouranos->, the Father <3962-pater->, the Word <3056-logos->, and the Holy <0040-hagios- > Ghost <4151-pneuma->: and these <3778-houtos-> three <5140- treis-> are one <1520-heis->. 8 And there are three <5140-treis-> that bear <3140-martureo-> witness <3140-martureo-> in earth <1093-ge->, the Spirit <4151- pneuma->, and the water <5204-hudor->, and the blood <0129-haima- >: and these <3778-houtos-> three <5140-treis-> agree <1526-eisi- > in one <1520-heis->. 9 If <1487-ei-> we receive <2983-lambano-> the witness <3141- marturia-> of men <0444-anthropos->, the witness <3141-marturia- > of God <2316-theos-> is greater <3187-meizon->: for this <3778- houtos-> is the witness <3141-marturia-> of God <2316-theos-> which <3739-hos-> he hath testified <3140-martureo-> of his Son <5207-huios->. 10. He that believeth <4100-pisteuo-> on <1519-eis-> the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316-theos-> hath <2192-echo-> the witness <3141-marturia-> in himself <1438-heautou->: he that believeth <4100-pisteuo-> not God <2316-theos-> hath made <4160-poieo-> him a liar <5583-pseustes->; because <3754-hoti-> he believeth <4100-pisteuo-> not the record <3141-marturia-> that God <2316- theos-> gave <3140-martureo-> of his Son <5207-huios->. 11 And this <3778-houtos-> is the record <3141-marturia->, that God <2316-theos-> hath given <1325-didomi-> to us eternal <0166- aionios-> life <2222-zoe->, and this <3778-houtos-> life <2222- zoe-> is in his Son <5207-huios->. 12 He that hath <2192-echo-> the Son <5207-huios-> hath <2192- echo-> life <2222-zoe->; [and] he that hath <2192-echo-> not the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316-theos-> hath <2192-echo-> not life <2222-zoe->. 13 These <5023-tauta-> things have I written <1125-grapho-> unto you that believe <4100-pisteuo-> on <1519-eis-> the name <3686-onoma-> of the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316-theos->; that ye may know <1492-eido-> that ye have <2192-echo-> eternal <0166-aionios-> life <2222-zoe->, and that ye may believe <4100- pisteuo-> on <1519-eis-> the name <3686-onoma-> of the Son <5207- huios-> of God <2316-theos->. 14. And this <3778-houtos-> is the confidence <3954-parrhesia-> that we have <2192-echo-> in him, that, if <1437-ean-> we ask <0154-aiteo-> any <5100-tis-> thing according <2596-kata-> to his will <2307-thelema->, he heareth <0191-akouo-> us: 15 And if <1437-ean-> we know <1492-eido-> that he hear <0191- akouo-> us, whatsoever <0302-an-> we ask <0154-aiteo->, we know <1492-eido-> that we have <2192-echo-> the petitions <0155- aitema-> that we desired <0154-aiteo-> of him. 16 If <1437-ean-> any <5100-tis-> man see <1492-eido-> his brother <0080-adephos-> sin <0264-hamartano-> a sin <0266- hamartia-> [which is] not unto death <2288-thanatos->, he shall ask <0154-aiteo->, and he shall give <1325-didomi-> him life <2222-zoe-> for them that sin <0264-hamartano-> not unto death <2288-thanatos->. There is a sin <0266-hamartia-> unto death <2288-thanatos->: I do not say <3004-lego-> that he shall pray <2065-erotao-> for it. 17 All <3956-pas-> unrighteousness <0093-adikia-> is sin <0266- hamartia->: and there is a sin <0266-hamartia-> not unto death <2288-thanatos->. 18. We know <1492-eido-> that whosoever <3588-ho-> is born <1080-gennao-> of God <2316-theos-> sinneth <0264-hamartano-> not; but he that is begotten <1080-gennao-> of God <2316-theos-> keepeth <5083-tereo-> himself <1438-heautou->, and that wicked <4190-poneros-> one toucheth <0680-haptomai-> him not. 19 [And] we know <1492-eido-> that we are of God <2316-theos->, and the whole <3650-holos-> world <2889-kosmos-> lieth <2749- keimai-> in wickedness <4190-poneros->. 20 And we know <1492-eido-> that the Son <5207-huios-> of God <2316-theos-> is come <2240-heko->, and hath given <1325-didomi- > us an understanding <1271-dianoia->, that we may know <1097- ginosko-> him that is true <0228-alethinos->, and we are in him that is true <0228-alethinos->, [even] in his Son <5207-huios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->. This <3778-houtos- > is the true <0228-alethinos-> God <2316-theos->, and eternal <0166-aionios-> life <2222-zoe->. 21 Little <5040-teknion-> children <5040-teknion->, keep <5442- phulasso-> yourselves <1438-heautou-> from idols <1497-eidolon->.
