Ang Pagtuo, Pagtuman, kag ang Pagdaog

Ang bisan sin-o nga nagatuo nga si Jesus amo ang Cristo, anak sang Dios. Kag ang bisan sin-o nga nagahigugma sa ginikanan nagahigugma man sa iya anak. Kag nahibaluan ta nga ginahigugma ta ang mga anak sang Dios kon nagahigugma kita sa Dios kag nagatuman sang iya mga sugo. Kay nagahigugma kita sa Dios kon nagatuman kita sang iya mga sugo. Kag ang iya mga sugo indi gid man mabudlay tumanon. Kay ginadaog sang tagsa ka anak sang Dios ang kalibutan.[a] Ginadaog niya ini paagi sa pagtuo. Gani sin-o bala ang makadaog sa kalibutan? Ang tawo nga nagatuo nga si Jesus amo ang Anak sang Dios. Ang nag-abot nga si Jesu-Cristo ginpamatud-an nga siya amo gid ang Anak sang Dios paagi sa tubig sang iya pagpabautiso kag paagi man sa dugo sang iya kamatayon. Indi lang sa tubig kundi paagi sa tubig kag dugo. Kag ini nga butang ginapamatud-an man sang Espiritu Santo sa aton, kag nahibaluan ta nga matuod ang iya ginasiling kay siya kamatuoran. Gani may tatlo nga nagapamatuod [b] parte kay Jesus: ang Espiritu Santo, ang tubig sang iya pagpabautiso, kag ang dugo sang iya kamatayon. Kag ining tatlo nagahisugot. Nagapati kita sa pagpamatuod sang mga tawo. Pero mas masaligan pa gid ang pagpamatuod sang Dios, kag siya mismo ang nagpamatuod nga si Jesus iya Anak. 10 Ang nagatuo sa Anak sang Dios nagapati sa pagpamatuod sang Dios. Pero ang wala nagapati sa pagpamatuod sang Dios nagahimo sa Dios nga butigon, kay wala siya nagapati sa pagpamatuod sang Dios parte sa iya Anak. 11 Kag amo ini ang ginapamatuod sang Dios: nga kita ginhatagan niya sing kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan, kag ining kabuhi ara sa iya Anak. 12 Ang bisan sin-o nga ara sa iya ang Anak may kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. Pero kon wala sa iya ang Anak sang Dios wala siya sing kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan.

Ang Kabuhi nga Wala sing Katapusan

13 Ginasulat ko ini sa inyo, kamo nga nagatuo sa Anak sang Dios,[c] agod mahibaluan ninyo nga may kabuhi kamo nga wala sing katapusan. 14 Kag may pagsalig kita sa pagpalapit sa Dios kay nagatuo kita nga pamatian niya ang bisan ano nga aton pangayuon suno sa iya kabubut-on. 15 Kag kon nahibaluan ta nga nagapamati ang Dios sa aton kon magpangayo kita sa iya, nahibaluan ta man nga nabaton na naton ang bisan ano nga aton ginapangayo sa iya.

16 Kon makita ninyo ang inyo utod kay Cristo nga nagahimo sang sala nga indi ikamatay, pangamuyui ninyo siya kag ang Dios magahatag sa iya sang kabuhi. Ini para lang sa mga nakahimo sang sala nga indi ikamatay. May sala nga ikamatay. Wala ako nagasiling nga pangamuyuan ninyo ang tawo nga nakahimo sini nga sala. 17 Ang tanan nga buhat nga indi matarong sala. Pero may ara nga sala nga indi magaresulta sang espiritual nga kamatayon.

18 Nahibaluan ta nga wala sing tawo nga nangin anak sang Dios nga nagapadayon sa pagpakasala, kundi ginatipigan siya sang Anak sang Dios, gani indi siya matandog ni Satanas. 19 Ining bug-os nga kalibutan ara sa idalom sang gahom ni Satanas, pero nahibaluan ta nga kita iya na sang Dios. 20 Kag nahibaluan ta nga nagkadto diri sa kalibutan ang Anak sang Dios, kag ginhatagan niya kita sing pag-intiendi agod makilala ta ang matuod nga Dios. Kag ara kita sa matuod nga Dios, sa iya Anak nga si Jesu-Cristo.[d] Siya amo ang matuod nga Dios kag ang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan.

21 Gani mga anak, maglikaw kamo sa mga dios-dios.

Faith in the Incarnate Son of God

Everyone who believes(A) that Jesus is the Christ(B) is born of God,(C) and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.(D) This is how we know(E) that we love the children of God:(F) by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.(G) And his commands are not burdensome,(H) for everyone born of God(I) overcomes(J) the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.(K)

This is the one who came by water and blood(L)—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.(M) For there are three(N) that testify: the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. We accept human testimony,(O) but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,(P) which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.(Q) Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,(R) because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,(S) and this life is in his Son.(T) 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.(U)

Concluding Affirmations

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God(V) so that you may know that you have eternal life.(W) 14 This is the confidence(X) we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.(Y) 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know(Z) that we have what we asked of him.(AA)

16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life.(AB) I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death.(AC) I am not saying that you should pray about that.(AD) 17 All wrongdoing is sin,(AE) and there is sin that does not lead to death.(AF)

18 We know that anyone born of God(AG) does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one(AH) cannot harm them.(AI) 19 We know that we are children of God,(AJ) and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.(AK) 20 We know also that the Son of God has come(AL) and has given us understanding,(AM) so that we may know him who is true.(AN) And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.(AO)

21 Dear children,(AP) keep yourselves from idols.(AQ)

  1. 1 John 5:8 Late manuscripts of the Vulgate testify in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth: the (not found in any Greek manuscript before the fourteenth century)

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.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

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.
