1 John 5:13
Compare all
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 aHe who has the Son has1 life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.  
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,1 and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.  

Confidence and Compassion in Prayer

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that aif we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and aHe will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. bThere is sin leading to death. cI do not say that he should pray about that.  
17 aAll unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.  

Knowing the True—Rejecting the False

18 We know that awhoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God bkeeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.  
19 We know that we are of God, and athe whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.  
20 And we know that the aSon of God has come and bhas given us an understanding, cthat we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. dThis is the true God eand eternal life.  
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
