Ticība uzvar pasauli
1 Ikviens, kas tic, ka Jēzus ir Kristus, ir dzimis no Dieva, un ikviens, kas mīl Dievu, kas viņu ir dzemdinājis, mīl arī to, kas ir no Dieva dzimis. 2 Mēs zinām, ka mīlam Dieva bērnus, kad mīlam Dievu un pildām viņa baušļus. 3 Jo tā ir mīlestība uz Dievu, ka turam viņa baušļus, un viņa baušļi nav grūti. 4 It viss, kas dzimis no Dieva, uzvar pasauli; un šī ir tā uzvara, kas uzvarējusi pasauli, – mūsu ticība. 5 Kas tad uzvar pasauli, ja ne tas, kas tic, ka Jēzus ir Dieva Dēls.
Liecība par Dieva Dēlu
6 Viņš ir tas, kas ir nācis caur ūdeni un asinīm – Jēzus Kristus; ne ūdenī vien, bet ūdenī un asinīs. Un Gars ir liecinātājs, jo Gars ir patiesība. 7 Jo ir trīs liecinātāji : 8 Gars, ūdens un asinis, un šie trīs ir viens. 9 Ja mēs cilvēku liecību pieņemam, tad Dieva liecība ir lielāka, – un šī ir Dieva liecība, jo viņš ir liecinājis par savu Dēlu. 10 Tam, kas tic Dieva Dēlam, ir liecība sevī; kas netic Dievam, tas viņu padara par meli, jo netic tai liecībai, ar kuru Dievs ir liecinājis par savu Dēlu. 11 Un šī ir tā liecība: Dievs mums ir devis mūžīgo dzīvību, un šī dzīvība ir viņa Dēlā. 12 Kam ir Dēls, tam ir dzīvība, bet, kam Dieva Dēla nav, tam nav dzīvības.
Mūžīgā dzīvība
13 To es rakstu jums, kas ticat Dieva Dēla vārdam, lai jūs zinātu, ka jums ir mūžīgā dzīvība. 14 Un šāda paļāvība mums ir uz viņu: ja mēs ko lūdzam pēc viņa gribas, viņš uzklausa mūs. 15 Ja zinām, ka viņš uzklausa mūs, ko vien lūdzam, tad zinām, ka saņemam to, ko esam no viņa izlūgušies. 16 Ja kāds redz savu brāli krītam tādā grēkā, kas nav nāves grēks, tas lai lūdz Dievu, un viņš dos tam dzīvību – tādiem, kas nedara nāves grēku. Ir nāves grēks, par to es nesaku, lai lūdz. 17 Katra netaisnība ir grēks, bet ir grēks, kas nav nāves grēks. 18 Mēs zinām, ka ikviens, kas dzimis no Dieva, negrēko, bet Dieva Dēls viņu pasargā un ļaunais neaizskar viņu. 19 Mēs zinām, ka esam no Dieva, un visa pasaule ir grimusi ļaunumā. 20 Bet mēs zinām, ka Dieva Dēls ir nācis un devis mums saprašanu, ka atzīstam patieso. Un mēs arī esam patiesajā – viņa Dēlā Jēzū Kristū. Šis ir patiesais Dievs un mūžīgā dzīvība. 21 Bērniņi, sargieties no elkiem!
1 Whosoever 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. 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 keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This 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. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If 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. 10 He 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. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These 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. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 16 If 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. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 18 We 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. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And 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. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
