1 John 5 9-20 We believe men who witness in our courts, and so surely we can believe whatever God declares. And God declares that Jesus is his Son. V10 All who believe this know in their hearts that it is true. If anyone doesn’t believe this, he is actually calling God a liar, because he doesn’t believe what God has said about His Son. V11 And what is it that God has said? That He has given us eternal life, and that this life is in His Son. V12 So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have His Son, does not have life. V13 I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God so that you may know you have eternal life. V14 And we are sure of this, that He will listen to us whenever we ask Him for anything in line with His will. V15 And if we really know He is listening when we talk to Him and make our requests, then we can be sure that He will answer us. 16 If you see a Christain sinning in a way that does not end in death, you should ask God to forgive him and God will give him life., unless he has sinned that one fatal sin. But there is that one sin which ends in death and if he has done that, there is no use praying for him. V17 Every wrong is a sin, of course. I’m not talking about these ordinary sins; I am speaking of that one that ends in death. V18 No on who has become part of God’s family make a practice of sinning, for Christ, God’s Son holds him securely and the devil cannot get his hands on him. V19 We know that we are children of God and that all the rest of the world around us is under satan’s power and control. V20 And we know that Christ, God’s Son, has come to help us understand and find the true God. And now we are in God because we are in Jesus Christ His Son, who is the only true God; and His is eternal Life. The Living Bible Version
