1 John

1thì cũng yêu thương kẻ được Đấng ấy sinh ra.

2và thi hành các điều răn của Người.

3Mà các điều răn của Người có nặng nề gì đâu,

4đó là lòng tin của chúng ta.

5Đức Giê-su là Con Thiên Chúa ?

6và Thần Khí là sự thật.

7Có ba chứng nhân :

8Cả ba cùng làm chứng một điều.

9lời Thiên Chúa đã làm chứng về Con của Người.

10đã làm chứng về Con của Người.

11và sự sống ấy ở trong Con của Người.

12ai không có Con Thiên Chúa thì không có sự sống.

13để anh em biết rằng anh em có sự sống đời đời.

14Người nhậm lời chúng ta, khi chúng ta xin điều gì hợp ý Người.

15chúng ta sẽ được những gì chúng ta đã xin Người.

16tôi không bảo phải cầu xin cho thứ tội ấy.

17nhưng có một thứ tội không đưa đến cái chết.

18và ác thần không đụng đến người ấy được.

19còn tất cả thế gian đều nằm dưới ách thống trị của ác thần.

20Đức Giê-su Ki-tô là Thiên Chúa thật và là sự sống đời đời.

21hãy tránh xa các tà thần !

1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

16If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
