5 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

13THIS LETTER is to assure you that you have eternal life. It is addressed to those who give their allegiance to the Son of God.
The Knowledge of Eternal Life 1Jn.5.13-21Ταῦτα ἐγραψα ὑμῖν ἵνα εἰδῆτε ὅτι ζωὴν ἐχετε αἰώνιον, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὀνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ.
14We can approach God with confidence for this reason: if we make requests which accord with his will he listens to us; καὶ αὑτη ἐστὶν ἡ παρρησία ἣν ἐχομεν πρὸς αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐάν τι αἰτώμεθα κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ἀκούει ἡμῶν.
15and if we know that our requests are heard, we know also that the things we ask for are ours.
 καὶ ἐὰν οἰδαμεν ὅτι ἀκούει ἡμῶν ὃ ἐὰν αἰτώμεθα, οἰδαμεν ὅτι ἐχομεν τὰ αἰτήματα ἂ ᾐτήκαμεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
16If a man sees his brother committing a sin which is not a deadly sin, he should pray to God for him, and he will grant him life—that is, when men are not guilty of deadly sin. There is such a thing as deadly sin, and I do not suggest that he should pray about that; Ἐάν τις ἰδῃ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἀμαρτάνοντα ἀμαρτίαν μὴ πρὸς θάνατον, αἰτήσει, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ ζωήν, τοῖς ἀμαρτάνουσιν μὴ πρὸς θάνατον. ἐστιν ἀμαρτία πρὸς θάνατον· οὐ π ερὶ ἐκείνης λέγω ἵνα ἐρωτήσῃ.
17but although all wrongdoing is sin, not all sin is deadly sin.
 πᾶσα ἀδικία ἀμαρτία ἐστίν, καὶ ἐστιν ἀμαρτία οὐ πρὸς θάνατον.
18We know that no child of God is a sinner; it is the Son of God who keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot touch him.
 Οἰδαμεν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ἀμαρτάνει, ἀλλ' ὁ γεννηθεὶς ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τηρεῖ αὐτόν, καὶ ὁ πονηρὸς οὐχ ἀπτεται αὐτοῦ.
19We know that we are of God's family, while the whole godless world lies in the power of the evil one.
 οἰδαμεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐσμεν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος ὁλος ἐν τῷ πονηρῷ κεῖται.
20We know that the Son of God has come and given us understanding to know him who is real; indeed we are in him who is real, since we are in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, this is eternal life. οἰδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡκει, καὶ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν διάνοιαν ἵνα γινώσκωμεν τὸν ἀληθινόν· καὶ ἐσμὲν ἐν τῷ ἀληθινῷ, ἐν τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ. οὗτός ἐς τιν ὁ ἀληθινὸς θεὸς καὶ ζωη αἰώνιος.
21My children, be on the watch against false gods. Τεκνία, φυλάξατε ἑαυτὰ ἀπὸ τῶν εἰδώλων.
