| For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. | For everyone born of God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. |
| Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? | Who indeed conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
|
| And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. | And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. |
| He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. | Whoever possesses the Son possesses life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not possess life. |
| 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. | I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. |
| And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. | And thus we can have confidence in him that if we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he hears us. |
| And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. | And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask him, we may be sure that all we ask of him will be ours. |
| 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. | We also know that the Son of God has come and given us understanding so that we can know the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, since we are in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. |
| Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. | Dear children, keep away from idols. |
