Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech: 1 John | Page 4

God--God continues in
union with him, and he continues in union with God. 004:016 And, as
for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it.
God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God,
and God continues in union with him. 004:017 Our love will be
manifested in all its perfection by our having complete confidence on
the day of the Judgement; because just what He is, we also are in the

world. 004:018 Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love
drives away fear, because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to
fear, there is something imperfect in his love. 004:019 We love because
God first loved us. 004:020 If any one says that he loves God, while he
hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother
man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
004:021 And the command which we have from Him is that he who
loves God must love his brother man also. 005:001 Every one who
believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who
loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child. 005:002 The
fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that
we love God's children. 005:003 Love for God means obedience to His
commands; and His commands are not irksome. 005:004 For every
child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which
has overcome the world is our faith. 005:005 Who but the man that
believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world? 005:006
Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water
only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who
gives testimony--because the Spirit is the Truth. 005:007 For there are
three that give testimony--the Spirit, the water, and the blood; 005:008
and there is complete agreement between these three. 005:009 If we
accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's
testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.
005:010 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his
own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he
has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.
005:011 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the
Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son. 005:012 He who has
the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.
005:013 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son
of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages.
005:014 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask
anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us. 005:015 And
since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know
that we have the things which we have asked from Him. 005:016 If any
one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he
shall ask and God shall give him life-- for those who do not sin unto

death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him
make request. 005:017 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin
which is not unto death. 005:018 We know that no one who is a child
of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil
one cannot touch him. 005:019 We know that we are children of God,
and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one. 005:020 And
we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding
so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that
is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and
the Life of the Ages. 005:021 Dear children, guard yourselves from
idols.
