約翰壹書

第5章

1 凡信耶穌是基督的,都是從神而生;凡愛生他的[him that begat],也必愛從他所生[begotten of him]的。

2 我們若愛神,又遵守他的誡命,因此[By this]就知道我們愛神的兒女。

3 我們遵守神的誡命,這就是愛他了;並且他的誡命不是難守的。

4 因為凡從神生的,就勝過世界;使我們勝過[overcometh]世界的,就是我們的信心。

5 勝過世界的是誰呢?不是那信耶穌是神兒子的嗎?

6 這借著水和血而來的就是耶穌基督,不是單借著[by]水,乃是借著水和血[by water and blood]並且有靈作見證[And it is the Spirit that beareth witness]因為靈就是真理[because the Spirit is truth]

7 在天上作見證的原來有三[For there are three that bear record in heaven],就是[the Father][the Word],與聖靈[the Holy Ghost]這三乃是一的[these three are one]

8 在地上[in earth]作見證的[And]有三,就是[Spirit],水,與血;這三樣也都歸於一。

9 我們既領受人的見證,神的見證更大[greater]了;因這是[this is]神的見證,是[he]為他兒子所作[hath testified of]的。

10 信神兒子的,就有這見證在他心裏;不信神的,就是將神當作說謊的,因不信神[gave]他兒子作的見證。

11 這見證就是神賜給我們永生;這永生也是在他兒子裏面。

12 人有了神的兒子就有生命,沒有神的兒子就沒有生命。

13 我將這些話寫給你們信奉神兒子之名的人,要叫你們知道自己有永生,也叫你們相信神兒子的名[and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God]

14 我們若照他的旨意求甚麼,他就聽我們,這是我們在他裏面[in him]所存的信心[confidence]

15 我們既[If we]知道他聽我們一切所求的,就知道我們所求於他的,無不得著。

16 人若看見他兄弟[his brother]犯了不至於死的罪,就當為他祈求,[he]必將生命賜給那不至於犯了死罪的[for them that sin not unto death]。有至於死的罪;我不說[he]當為這罪祈求。

17 凡不義的事都是罪;也有不至於死的罪。

18 我們知道凡從神生的,必不犯罪,從神生的,必保守自己[keepeth himself],那惡者也就無法害他。

19 我們[And]知道,我們是屬神的,全世界都臥在邪惡之下[in wickedness]

20 我們也知道,神的兒子已經來到,且將智慧賜給我們,使我們認識那位真實的,我們也在那位真實的裏面,就是在他兒子耶穌基督裏面。這是真神,也是永生。

21 小子們哪,你們要自守,遠避偶像。阿們[Amen]

Chapter 5

1 WHOSOEVER believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and everyone who loves him who begat him, loves him also who is begotten of him.

2 And 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 difficult.

4 For whoever is born of God triumphs over the world: and this is the victory which conquers the world, even our faith.

5 Who is he who triumphs over the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit testifies that that very Spirit is the 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 to bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.

9 If we accept the testimony of men, how much greater is the testimony of God: for this is the testimony of God, which he has testified of his Son.

10 He who believes on the Son of God has this testimony in himself: he who does not believe God, has made him a liar; because he does not believe the record that God gave of his Son.

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

12 He who believes on the Son has life; he who does not believe on the Son of God does not have life.

13 These things I have written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life.

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

15 For if we beseech him to hear us concerning the things that we ask of him, we are assured that we have already received from him those things that we desire.

16 If any man see his brother commit a sin which is not worthy of death, let him ask and Eternal Life. 1 John 5 life will be granted him, if he has not committed a sin worthy of death. There is a sin worthy of death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17 All unrighteousness is sin: but there is a sin which is not worthy of death.

18 We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin: for he who is born of God watches himself, and the evil one does not come near him.

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

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

21 My children, keep yourselves from idols.

9 我們既領受人的見證,神的見證更大[greater]了;因這是[this is]神的見證,是[he]為他兒子所作[hath testified of]的。
