1 John 5:13

I know that you mob all believe in God’s son Jesus. So you all have new life from God, and you will live with God for ever. I want you to be really sure about that, and that’s the reason why I’m writing this letter to you.

Plain English Version

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

12Everyone that is joined up with Jesus, they have new life, and they will live for ever with God. But if anyone is not joined up with Jesus, then they do not have new life, and they can’t live for ever with God.

14We can be sure that God listens to us when we pray to him. Yes, if we think about the things God wants, and the good things that he promises, and if we ask God for those good things, then God will listen to us.

Matthew Henry on 1 John 5:11-14

The Believer's Privilege. ( a. d. 80.) 10 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. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have… Read the whole commentary →
