Dan.12.7

Dan.12.7

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."

Dan.12.7

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

Dan.12.8

And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

1John.5

1John.5.1

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.

1John.5.1

Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-begotten. If we love the One who conceives the child, we'll surely love the child who was conceived.

1John.5.1

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.

1John.5.1

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

1John.5.1

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.

1John.5.2

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

1John.5.2

The reality test on whether or not we love God's children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands?

1John.5.2

This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.

1John.5.2

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

1John.5.2

We know we love God's children if we love God and obey his commandments.

1John.5.3

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

1John.5.3

The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome.

1John.5.3

This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

1John.5.3

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

1John.5.3

Loving God means keeping his commandments, and really, that isn't difficult.

1John.5.4

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1John.5.4

Every God-begotten person conquers the world's ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith.

1John.5.4

for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

1John.5.4

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

1John.5.4

For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory.

1John.5.5

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1John.5.5

The person who wins out over the world's ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.

1John.5.5

Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

1John.5.5

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

1John.5.5

And the ones who win this battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

1John.5.6

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.

1John.5.6

Jesus--the Divine Christ! He experienced a life-giving birth and a death-killing death. Not only birth from the womb, but baptismal birth of his ministry and sacrificial death. And all the while the Spirit is confirming the truth, the reality of God's presence at Jesus' baptism and crucifixion, bringing those occasions alive for us.

1John.5.6

This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

1John.5.6

This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

1John.5.6

And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross--not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit also gives us the testimony that this is true.

1John.5.7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

1John.5.7

A triple testimony:

1John.5.7

For there are three that testify:

1John.5.7

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

1John.5.7

So we have these three witnesses--

1John.5.8

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

1John.5.8

the Spirit, the Baptism, the Crucifixion. And the three in perfect agreement.

1John.5.8

the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

1John.5.8

And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

1John.5.8

the Spirit, the water, and the blood--and all three agree.

1John.5.9

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.

1John.5.9

If we take human testimony at face value, how much more should we be reassured when God gives testimony as he does here, testifying concerning his Son.

1John.5.9

We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

1John.5.9

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.

1John.5.9

Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son.

1John.5.10

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.

1John.5.10

Whoever believes in the Son of God inwardly confirms God's testimony. Whoever refuses to believe in effect calls God a liar, refusing to believe God's own testimony regarding his Son.

1John.5.10

Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.

1John.5.10

He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

1John.5.10

All who believe in the Son of God know that this is true. Those who don't believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don't believe what God has testified about his Son.

1John.5.11

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1John.5.11

This is the testimony in essence: God gave us eternal life; the life is in his Son.

1John.5.11

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1John.5.11

And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

1John.5.11

And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1John.5.12

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

1John.5.12

So, whoever has the Son, has life; whoever rejects the Son, rejects life.

1John.5.12

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

1John.5.12

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

1John.5.12

So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have his Son does not have life.

1John.5.13

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1John.5.13

My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God's Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion.

1John.5.13

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

1John.5.13

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, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

1John.5.13

I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.

1John.5.14

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

1John.5.14

And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he's listening.

1John.5.14

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

1John.5.14

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

1John.5.14

And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will.

1John.5.15

And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

1John.5.16

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.

1John.5.16

For instance, if we see a Christian believer sinning (clearly I'm not talking about those who make a practice of sin in a way that is "fatal," leading to eternal death), we ask for God's help and he gladly gives it, gives life to the sinner whose sin is not fatal. There is such a thing as a fatal sin, and I'm not urging you to pray about that.

1John.5.16

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

1John.5.16

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

1John.5.16

If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it.

1John.5.17

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

1John.5.17

Everything we do wrong is sin, but not all sin is fatal.

1John.5.17

All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

1John.5.17

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

1John.5.17

Every wrong is sin, but not all sin leads to death.

1John.5.18

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.

1John.5.18

We know that none of the God-begotten makes a practice of sin--fatal sin. The God-begotten are also the God-protected. The Evil One can't lay a hand on them.

1John.5.18

We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.

1John.5.18

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

1John.5.18

We know that those who have become part of God's family do not make a practice of sinning, for God's Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot get his hands on them.

1John.5.19

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.

1John.5.20

And we know that the Son of God came so we could recognize and understand the truth of God--what a gift!-and we are living in the Truth itself, in God's Son, Jesus Christ. This Jesus is both True God and Real Life.

1John.5.20

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true--even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

1John.5.20

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
