This 14 is the conquering power 15 that has conquered 16 the world: our faith. 5:5 Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that 17 Jesus is the Son of God? 5:6 Jesus Christ is the one who came by water and blood – not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because 18 the Spirit is the truth. 5:7 For 19 there are three that testify, 20 5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement.
5:9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because 21 this 22 is the testimony of God that 23 he has testified concerning his Son. 5:10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.) 24 5:11 And this is the testimony: God 25 has given us eternal life, 26 and this life is in his Son. 5:12 The one who has the Son 27 has this 28 eternal 29 life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this 30 eternal 31 life.
5:13 I have written these things 32 to you who believe 33 in the name of the Son of God so that 34 you may know that you have eternal life.
5:14 And this is the confidence that we have before him: that 35 whenever 36 we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 5:15 And if we know 37 that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him. 5:16 If 38 anyone sees his fellow Christian 39 committing a sin not resulting in death, 40 he should ask, and God 41 will grant 42 life to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death. 43 There is a sin resulting in death. 44 I do not say that he should ask about that. 5:17 All unrighteousness 45 is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death. 46
5:18 We know that everyone fathered 47 by God does not sin, but God 48 protects 49 the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him. 5:19 We know that we are from God, 50 and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
