| 1st-John 5:1 | Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him. | Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child. | Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the father also loves the child who is born of him. |
| 1st-John 5:2 | In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments. | In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws. | By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. |
| 1st-John 5:3 | For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy. | For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard. | For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous. |
| 1st-John 5:4 | For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. | Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith. | For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. |
| 1st-John 5:5 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? | Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God? | Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
| 1st-John 5:6 | This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth. | This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood. | This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. |
| 1st-John 5:7 | And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. | And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true. | It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. |
| 1st-John 5:8 | And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one. | There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement. | For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one. |
| 1st-John 5:9 | If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son. | If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son. | If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son. |
| 1st-John 5:10 | He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. | He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son. | He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in him. He who doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. |
| 1st-John 5:11 | And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. | And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. | The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. |
| 1st-John 5:12 | He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life. | He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life. | He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life. |
| 1st-John 5:13 | These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. | I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life. | These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. |
| 1st-John 5:14 | And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us. | And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us: | This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. |
| 1st-John 5:15 | And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him. | And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests. | And if we know that he listens to us whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. |
| 1st-John 5:16 | He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask. | If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then. | If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don't say that concerning this he should make a request. |
| 1st-John 5:17 | All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death. | All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin. | All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death. |
| 1st-John 5:18 | We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not. | We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One. | We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him. |
| 1st-John 5:19 | We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness. | We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One. | We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. |
| 1st-John 5:20 | And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. | And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see 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. | We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. |
| 1st-John 5:21 | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. | My little children, keep yourselves from false gods. | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. |
