1 Todo aquel que cree que Jesús es el Christo, es nacido de Dios. Y todo el que ama á aquel que le engendró, ama también al que de él nació.
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
2 En esto conocemos que amamos á los hijos de Dios, si amamos á Dios, y guardamos sus mandamientos.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Porque éste es el amor de Dios, que guardemos sus mandamientos: y los mandamientos de él no son pesados.
3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
4 Porque todo lo que nace de Dios, vence al mundo: y ésta es la victoria que vence al mundo, nuestra fé.
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
5 ¿Quién es el que vence al mundo, sino el que cree que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios?
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Este es Jesu-Christo, que vino por agua y por sangre: no por agua tan solamente, sino por agua y sangre. Y el Espíritu es el que dá testimonio, que Christo es la verdad.
6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7◆ Porque tres son los que dan testimonio en el Cielo: el Padre, el Verbo, y el Espíritu Santo: y estos tres son una misma cosa.
7 For there are three who testify:
8◆ Y tres son los que dan testimonio en la tierra: el Espíritu y el agua, y la sangre: y estos tres son una misma cosa.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
9 Si recibimos el testimonio de los hombres, mayor es el testimonio de Dios, pues éste es el testimonio de Dios, que es el mayor, porque el ha testificado de su Hijo.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
10 El que cree en el Hijo de Dios, tiene en sí el testimonio de Dios. El que no cree al Hijo, le hace mentiroso: porque no cree en el testimonio que Dios ha dado de su Hijo.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
11 Y éste es el testimonio, que Dios nos ha dado vida eterna. Y ésta vida está en su Hijo.
11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 El que tiene al Hijo, tiene la vida: el que no tiene al Hijo no tiene la vida.
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
13 Estas cosas os escribo para que sepáis que tenéis vida eterna, los que creéis en el nombre del Hijo de Dios.
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.
14 Y ésta es la confianza que tenemos en él: Que él nos oye en todo lo que le pedimos, siendo conforme á su voluntad.
14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
15 Y sabemos que nos oye en todo lo que le pidiéremos: lo sabemos, porque tenemos las peticiones, que le habemos demandado.
15 And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
16 El que sabe que su hermano comete un pecado que no es de muerte, pida, y será dada vida á aquel que peca no de muerte: Hay pecado de muerte no digo yo, que ruegue alguno por él.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.
17 Toda iniquidad es pecado: y hay pecado, que es de muerte:
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
18 Sabemos que todo aquel que es nacido de Dios, no peca; mas el nacimiento que tiene de Dios, le guarda, y el maligno no le toca.
18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.
19 Sabemos que somos de Dios: y todo el mundo está puesto en el maligno.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 Y sabemos que vino el Hijo de Dios; y que nos dió entendimiento para que conozcamos al verdadero Dios, y estemos en su verdadero Hijo. Este es el verdadero Dios, y la vida eterna.
20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we 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.
21 Hijitos, guardaos de los ídolos. Amén.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- 1 John 5:7–8: the “three heavenly witnesses”
Older English and Spanish Bibles read: “there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” These words, called the Johannine Comma, are absent from virtually every Greek manuscript before the late Middle Ages and from the Greek Fathers. The Patriarchal Text prints them in small type, kept at the wish of the Holy Synod. The Trinity does not depend on them.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
I Suppose ye remember, those of you who were present yesterday, to what place in the course of this epistle our exposition has reached: namely, "He that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not?

… but is of antichrist." These words agree with what was said in the Gospel, that "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." Wherefore he again exclaims in his Epistle, "Every one that believeth that Jesus is the Christ, has been born of God;" knowing Jesus Christ to be one and the same, to whom the gates of heaven …
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it." For he manifestly shows that there are certain brethren for whom we are not commanded to pray, although the Lord bids us pray even for our persecutors.

And he that loveth Him that begat, loveth Him also that is begotten of Him; but he that despiseth Him that is begotten casts back the insult upon Him who begat.

What about John then, when in his Catholic Epistle he says that there are Three that bear witness, the Spirit and the Water and the Blood?
