1 Every man who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and every man who loves him who begot, also loves him who has been begotten from 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 may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
4 Because everything that has been begotten from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
5 And who is he who 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, Jesus Christ, not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.
7 Because those who testify are three:
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in one.
9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son.
11 And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son.
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
13 I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
16 If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.
17 All unrighteousness is sin. And there is sin not toward death.
18 We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is set in the evil.
20 And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the TRUE God, and the eternal life.
21 Little children, guard yourselves from the idols. Truly.
1 Whosoever beleveh that Iesus is Christ is borne of god. And every one yt loveth him which begat loveth him also which was begotte of him.
2 In this we knowe yt we love the children of god whe we love god and kepe his comaudementes.
3 This is ye love of god yt we kepe his comaundemetes and his comaundementes are not greveous
4 For all that is borne of god over commeth the worlde. And this is the victory that overcometh the worlde even oure fayth.
5 Who is it that overcommeth the worlde: but he which beleveth that Iesus is ye sonne of god?
6 This Iesus Christ is he that ca by water and bloud not by water only: but by water and bloud. And it is the sprete that beareth witnes because the sprete ys trueth.
7 (For ther are thre which beare recorde in heuen the father the worde and the wholy goost. And these thre are one)
8 For there are thre which beare recorde (in erth:) the sprete and water and bloud: and these thre are one.
9 Yf we receave the witnes of men the witnes of god is greater. For this is the witnes of god which he testifyed of his sonne.
10 He that beleveth on the sonne of god hath the witnes in him silfe. He that beleveth not God hath made him a lyar be cause he beleved not the recorde that god gave of his sonne.
11 And this ys that recorde how that god hath geven vnto vs eternall lyfe and this lyfe is in his sonne.
12 He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: and he that hath not the sonne of god hath not lyfe.
13 These thynges have I written vnto you that beleve on the name of the sonne of God that ye maye knowe howe that ye have eternall lyfe and that ye maye beleve on the name of the sonne of god.
14 And this is the trust that we have in him: that yf we axe eny thinge accordynge to his will he heareth vs.
15 And yf we knowe that he heare vs what soever we axe we knowe that we shall have the peticions that we desyre of him.
16 Yf eny man se his brother synne a synne that is not vnto deeth let him axe and he shall geve him lyfe for them that synne not vnto deeth. Ther is a synne vnto deeth for which saye I not that a man shuld praye.
17 All vnrightewesnes is synne and ther is synne not vnto deeth.
18 We knowe that whosoever is borne of god synneth not: but he that is begotten of god kepeth him silfe and that wicked toucheth him not.
19 We knowe that we are of god and that the worlde is altogedder set on wickednes.
20 We knowe that the sonne of God is come and hath geven vs a mynde to knowe him which is true: and we are in him that is true through his sonne Iesu Christ. This same is very god and eternall lyfe.
21 Babes kepe youre selves from ymages. Amen.
