Old Testament

New Testament

1 John 5:9-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.

10. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.

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

12. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13. I write these things to you who believe in 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 toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

15. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

16. If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.

17. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
