1 John 5
5
1Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves the one born of Him.
Love God—Live God’s Word
2We know that we love God’s children by this—when we love God and obey His commandments.
3For this is the love of God—that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
4For everyone born of God overcomes the world. And the victory that has overcome the world is this—our faith.
5Who is it that overcomes the world, if not the one who believes that Yeshua is Ben-Elohim?
Believe God’s Own Testimony of Yeshua
6Messiah Yeshua is the One who came by water and blood—not by water only, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the One who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7For there are three that testify—
8the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are one.
9If we accept men’s testimony, God’s testimony is greater—for this it is the testimony that God has given about His Son.
10The one who trusts in Ben-Elohim has the testimony in himself; the one who does not trust in God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.
11And the testimony is this—that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12The one who has the Son has life; the one who does not have Ben-Elohim does not have life.
Walk Now in Eternal Privileges
13I wrote these things to you who believe in the name of Ben-Elohim, so you may know that you have eternal life.
14Now this is the confidence we have before Him—that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have the requests we have asked from Him.
16If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and God will give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death—I am not saying you should ask about that.
17All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin not leading to death.
18We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; rather, the One born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot touch him.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20And we know that Ben-Elohim has come and given us insight, so that we may know Him who is true—and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Yeshua the Messiah. This One is the true God and eternal life.
21Children, guard yourselves from idols.

Faith in the Son of God
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is God’s child, and whoever loves the Father also loves the Father’s children. 2This is how we know we love God’s children: when we love God and obey his commands. 3Loving God means obeying his commands. And God’s commands are not too hard for us, 4because everyone who is a child of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world—our faith. 5So the one who conquers the world is the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6Jesus Christ is the One who came by water and blood. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit says that this is true, because the Spirit is the truth. 7So there are three witnesses: 8the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three witnesses agree. 9We believe people when they say something is true. But what God says is more important, and he has told us the truth about his own Son. 10Anyone who believes in the Son of God has the truth that God told us. Anyone who does not believe makes God a liar, because that person does not believe what God told us about his Son. 11This is what God told us: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12Whoever has the Son has life, but whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
We Have Eternal Life Now
13I write this letter to you who believe in the Son of God so you will know you have eternal life. 14And this is the boldness we have in God’s presence: that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what he wants, he hears us. 15If we know he hears us every time we ask him, we know we have what we ask from him.
16If anyone sees a brother or sister sinning (sin that does not lead to eternal death), that person should pray, and God will give the sinner life. I am talking about people whose sin does not lead to eternal death. There is sin that leads to death. I do not mean that a person should pray about that sin. 17Doing wrong is always sin, but there is sin that does not lead to eternal death.
18We know that those who are God’s children do not continue to sin. The Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot touch them. 19We know that we belong to God, but the Evil One controls the whole world. 20We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we can know the True One. And our lives are in the True One and in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the eternal life.
21So, dear children, keep yourselves away from false gods.
