THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM THAT IS TRUE

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.
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. And this is the record, that God 
hath given to 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.
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. And this is the confidence 
that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing 
according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know 
that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that 
we have the petitions that we desired of him.
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.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a 
sin not unto death. 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.
And we know that we are of God, and the 
whole world lieth in wickedness.
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.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

I John 5:20
