About 1 John 5"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God," and "this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." God has given his witness of his Son: "God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life." The writer says he wrote "that ye may know that ye have eternal life," gives confidence that God hears prayer "according to his will," and closes, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." 1 John 5:11 John 5:41 John 5:91 John 5:111 John 5:121 John 5:131 John 5:141 John 5:211 John overview
