1 # Whosoever <3956> believeth <4100> (5723) that <3754> Jesus <2424> is <2076> (5748) the Christ <5547> is born <1080> (5769) of <1537> God <2316>: and <2532> every one <3956> that loveth <25> (5723) him that begat <1080> (5660) loveth <25> (5719) (5725) him also <2532> that is begotten <1080> (5772) of <1537> him <846>.
2 By <1722> this <5129> we know <1097> (5719) that <3754> we love <25> (5719) the children <5043> of God <2316>, when <3752> we love <25> (5719) God <2316>, and <2532> keep <5083> (5725) his <846> commandments <1785>.
3 For <1063> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) the love <26> of God <2316>, that <2443> we keep <5083> (5725) his <846> commandments <1785>: and <2532> his <846> commandments <1785> are <1526> (5748) not <3756> grievous <926>.
4 For <3754> whatsoever <3956> is born <1080> (5772) of <1537> God <2316> overcometh <3528> (5719) the world <2889>: and <2532> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) the victory <3529> that overcometh <3528> (5660) the world <2889>, even our <2257> faith <4102>.
We overcome the world using what God birthed into us. The main force is love, but it also includes faith and hope.
5 Who <5101> is <2076> (5748) he that overcometh <3528> (5723) the world <2889>, but <1508> he that believeth <4100> (5723) that <3754> Jesus <2424> is <2076> (5748) the Son <5207> of God <2316> ?
6 # This <3778> is <2076> (5748) he that came <2064> (5631) by <1223> water <5204> and <2532> blood <129>, even Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; not <3756> by <1722> water <5204> only <3440> , but <235> by <1722> water <5204> and <2532> blood <129>. And <2532> it is <2076> (5748) the Spirit <4151> that beareth witness <3140> (5723), because <3754> the Spirit <4151> is <2076> (5748) truth <225> .
7 For <3754> there are <1526> (5748) three <5140> that bear record <3140> (5723) in <1722> heaven <3772>, the Father <3962>, the Word <3056>, and <2532> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>: and <2532> these <3778> three <5140> are <1526> (5748) one <1520>.

8 And <2532> there are <1526> (5748) three <5140> that bear witness <3140> (5723) in <1722> earth <1093>, the Spirit <4151>, and <2532> the water <5204>, and <2532> the blood <129>: and <2532> these three <5140> agree <1526> (5748) in <1519> one <1520>.
9 If <1487> we receive <2983> (5719) the witness <3141> of men <444>, the witness <3141> of God <2316> is <2076> (5748) greater <3187>: for <3754> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) the witness <3141> of God <2316> which <3739> he hath testified <3140> (5758) of <4012> his <846> Son <5207>.
10 # He that believeth <4100> (5723) on <1519> the Son <5207> of God <2316> hath <2192> (5719) the witness <3141> in <1722> himself <1438>: he that believeth <4100> (5723) not <3361> God <2316> hath made <4160> (5758) him <846> a liar <5583>; because <3754> he believeth <4100> (5758) not <3756> <1519> the record <3141> that <3739> God <2316> gave <3140> (5758) of <4012> his <846> Son <5207>.
A believer has an inner assurance that they belong to Him. The resident Holy Spirit reveals God’s presence.
11 And <2532> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) the record <3141>, that <3754> God <2316> hath given <1325> (5656) to us <2254> eternal <166> life <2222>, and <2532> this <3778> life <2222> is <2076> (5748) in <1722> his <846> Son <5207>.
12 He that hath <2192> (5723) the Son <5207> hath <2192> (5719) life <2222>; and he that hath <2192> (5723) not <3361> the Son <5207> of God <2316> hath <2192> (5719) not <3756> life <2222> .
Eternal life is a present possession not a future experience.
13 These things <5023> have I written <1125> (5656) unto you <5213> that believe <4100> (5723) on <1519> the name <3686> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>; that <2443> ye may know <1492> (5762) that ye <3754> have <2192> (5719) eternal <166> life <2222>, and <2532> that <2443> ye may believe <4100> (5725) on <1519> the name <3686> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
14 # And <2532> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) the confidence <3954> that <3739> we have <2192> (5719) in <4314> him <846>, that <3754>, if <1437> we ask <154> (5735) any thing <5100> according <2596> to his <846> will <2307>, he heareth <191> (5719) us <2257>:
15 And <2532> if <1437> we know <1492> (5758) that <3754> he hear <191> (5719) us <2257>, whatsoever <3739> <302> we ask <154> (5735), we know <1492> (5758) that <3754> we have <2192> (5719) the petitions <155> that <3739> we desired <154> (5758) of <3844> him <846>.
16 If <1437> any man <5100> see <1492> (5632) his <846> brother <80> sin <264> (5723) a sin <266> which is not <3361> unto <4314> death <2288>, he shall ask <154> (5692), and <2532> he shall give <1325> (5692) him <846> life <2222> for them that sin <264> (5723) not <3361> unto <4314> death <2288>. There is <2076> (5748) a sin <266> unto <4314> death <2288>: I do not <3756> say <3004> (5719) that <2443> he shall pray <2065> (5661) for <4012> it <1565>.
17 All <3956> unrighteousness <93> is <2076> (5748) sin <266>: and <2532> there is <2076> (5748) a sin <266> not <3756> unto <4314> death <2288>.
18 # We know <1492> (5758) that <3754> whosoever <3956> is born <1080> (5772) of <1537> God <2316> sinneth <264> (5719) not <3756>; but <235> he that is begotten <1080> (5685) of <1537> God <2316> keepeth <5083> (5719) himself <1438>, and <2532> that wicked one <4190> toucheth <680> (5731) him <846> not <3756>.
19 And we know <1492> (5758) that <3754> we are <2070> (5748) of <1537> God <2316> , and <2532> the whole <3650> world <2889> lieth <2749> (5736) in <1722> wickedness <4190>.
20 And <1161> we know <1492> (5758) that <3754> the Son <5207> of God <2316> is come <2240> (5719), and <2532> hath given <1325> (5758) us <2254> an understanding <1271>, that <2443> we may know <1097> (5725) him that is true <228>, and <2532> we are <2070> (5748) in <1722> him that is true <228>, even in <1722> his <846> Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. This <3778> is <2076> (5748) the true <228> God <2316>, and <2532> eternal <166> life <2222>.
21 Little children <5040>, keep <5442> (5657) yourselves <1438> from <575> idols <1497>. Amen <281>.
