American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. Whosoever[G3956] believeth[G4100] that[G3754] Jesus[G2424] is[G2076] the Christ[G5547] is[G2076] begotten[G1080] of[G1537] God[G2316]: and[G2532] whosoever[G3956, 3588] loveth[G25] him[G3588] that begat[G1080] loveth[G25] him[G3588] also[G2532] that is begotten[G1080] of[G1537] him[G846].

2. Hereby[G1722, 5129] we know[G1097] that[G3754] we love[G25] the children[G5043] of God[G2316], when[G3752] we love[G25] God[G2316] and[G2532] do[G5083] his[G846] commandments[G1785].

3. For[G1063] this[G3778] is[G2076] the love[G26] of God[G2316], that[G2443] we keep[G5083] his[G846] commandments[G1785]: and[G2532] his[G846] commandments[G1785] are[G1526] not[G3756] grievous[G926].

4. For[G3754] whatsoever[G3956] is begotten[G1080] of[G1537] God[G2316] overcometh[G3528] the world[G2889]: and[G2532] this[G3778] is[G2076] the victory[G3529] that hath overcome[G3528] the world[G2889], even our[G2257] faith[G4102].

5. And who[G5101] is[G2076] he that overcometh[G3528] the world[G2889], but[G1487, 3361] he that believeth[G4100] that[G3754] Jesus[G2424] is[G2076] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316]?

6. This[G3778] is[G2076] he that came[G2064] by[G1223] water[G5204] and[G2532] blood[G129], even Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547]; not[G3756] with[G1722] the water[G5204] only[G3440], but[G235] with[G1722] the water[G5204] and[G2532] with the blood[G129].

7. And[G2532] it is[G1526, 5140] the Spirit[G4151] that beareth witness[G3140], because the Spirit is the truth[G4151].

8. For[G2532] there are[G1526] three[G5140] who bear witness[G3140], the Spirit[G4151], and[G2532] the water[G5204], and[G2532] the blood[G129]: and[G2532] the[G3588] three[G5140] agree[G1526] in[G1519] one[G1520].

9. If[G1487] we receive[G2983] the witness[G3141] of men[G444], the witness[G3141] of God[G2316] is[G2076] greater[G3187]: for[G3754] the witness[G3141] of God[G2316] is[G2076] this[G3778], that[G3739] he hath borne witness[G3141] concerning[G4012] his[G846] Son[G5207].

10. He that believeth[G4100] on[G1519] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316] hath[G2192] the witness[G3141] in[G1722] him[G1438]: he that believeth[G4100] not[G3361] God[G2316] hath made[G4160] him[G846] a liar[G5583]; because[G3754] he hath not[G3756] believed[G4100] in the witness[G3141] that[G3739] God[G2316] hath borne[G3140] concerning[G4012] his[G846] Son[G1519].

11. And[G2532] the witness[G3141] is[G2076] this[G3778], that[G3754] God[G2316] gave[G1325] unto us[G2254] eternal[G166] life[G2222], and[G2532] this[G3778] life[G2222] is[G2076] in[G1722] his[G846] Son[G5207].

12. He that hath[G2192] the Son[G5207] hath[G2192] the life[G2222]; he that hath[G2192] not[G3361] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316] hath[G2192] not[G3756] the life[G2222].

13. These things[G5023] have I written[G1125] unto you[G5213], that[G2443] ye may know[G1492] that[G2443] ye have[G2192] eternal[G166] life[G2222], even unto you that believe[G4100] on[G1519] the name[G3686] of the Son[G5207] of God[G2316].

14. And[G2532] this[G3778] is[G2076] the boldness[G3954] which[G3739] we have[G2192] toward[G4314] him[G846], that[G3754], if[G1437] we ask[G154] anything[G5100] according to[G2596] his[G846] will[G2307], he heareth[G191] us[G2257]:

15. and[G2532] if[G1437] we know[G1492] that[G3754] he heareth[G191] us[G2257] whatsoever[G3739] we ask[G154], we know[G1492] that[G3754] we have[G2192] the petitions[G155] which[G3739] we have[G2192] asked[G154] of[G3844] him[G846].

16. If[G1437] any man[G5100] see[G1492] his[G846] brother[G80] sinning[G264] a sin[G266] not[G3361] unto[G4314] death[G2288], he shall ask[G154], and[G2532] God will give[G1325] him[G846] life[G2222] for them that sin[G264] not[G3361] unto[G4314] death[G2288]. There is[G2076] a sin[G266] unto[G4314] death[G2288]: not[G3756] concerning this do[G3004] I say[G3004] that[G2443] he should make[G4012, 1565] request[G2065].

17. All[G3956] unrighteousness[G93] is[G2076] sin[G266]: and[G2532] there is[G2076] a sin[G266] not[G3756] unto[G4314] death[G2288].

18. We know[G1492] that[G3754] whosoever[G3956] is begotten[G1080] of[G1537] God[G2316] sinneth[G264] not[G3756]; but[G235] he that was begotten[G1080] of[G1537] God[G2316] keepeth[G5083] himself[G1438], and[G2532] the[G3588] evil one[G4190] toucheth[G680] him[G846] not[G3756].

19. We know[G1492] that[G3754] we are[G2070] of[G1537] God[G2316], and[G2532] the whole[G3650] world[G2889] lieth[G2749] in[G1722] the evil one[G4190].

20. And[G1161] we know[G1492] that[G3754] the Son[G5207] of God[G2316] is come[G2240], and[G2532] hath given[G1325] us[G2254] an understanding[G1271], that[G2443] we know[G1097] him that is true[G228], and[G2532] we are[G2070] in[G1722] him that is true[G228], even in[G1722] his[G846] Son[G5207] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547]. This[G3778] is[G2076] the true[G228] God[G2316], and[G2532] eternal[G166] life[G2222].

21. My little children[G5040], guard[G5442] yourselves[G1438] from[G575] idols[G1497]. amen[G281].
