1 Koji god veruje da je Isus Hristos, od Boga je rođen; i koji god ljubi Onog koji je rodio, ljubi i Onog koji je rođen od Njega. 2 Po tom znamo da ljubimo decu Božiju kad Boga ljubimo i Njegove zapovesti držimo. 3 Jer je ovo ljubav Božija da zapovesti Njegove držimo; i zapovesti Njegove nisu teške. 4 Jer svaki koji je rođen od Boga pobeđuje svet; i vera je naša ova pobeda koja pobedi svet. 5 Ko je koji svet pobeđuje osim onog koji veruje da je Isus Sin Božji? 6 Ovo je Isus Hristos što dođe vodom i krvlju i Duhom, ne samo vodom nego vodom i krvlju; i Duh je koji svedoči, jer je Duh istina, 7◆ jer je troje što svedoči na nebu: Otac, Reč, i Sveti Duh; i ovo je troje jedno. 8◆ I troje je što svedoči na zemlji: duh, i voda, i krv; i troje je zajedno. 9 Kad primamo svedočanstvo čovečije, svedočanstvo je Božije veće; jer je ovo svedočanstvo Božije što svedoči za Sina svog. 10 Koji veruje Sina Božijeg ima svedočanstvo u sebi; koji ne veruje Bogu načinio Ga je lažom, jer ne verova svedočanstvu koje svedoči Bog za Sina svog. 11 I ovo je svedočanstvo da nam je Bog dao život večni; i ovaj život večni u Sinu je Njegovom. 12 Ko ima Sina Božijeg ima život; ko nema Sina Božijeg nema život. 13 Ovo pisah vama koji verujete u ime Sina Božijeg, da znate da imate život večni i da verujete u ime Sina Božijeg. 14 I ovo je sloboda koju imamo k Njemu da ako šta molimo po volji Njegovoj posluša nas. 15 I kad znamo da nas sluša šta god molimo, znamo da će nam dati šta tražimo od Njega. 16 Ako ko vidi brata svog gde greši greh ne k smrti, neka moli, i daće mu život, onima koji greše ne k smrti. Ima greh k smrti: za taj ne govorim da moli. 17 Svaka je nepravda greh; i ima greh ne k smrti. 18 Znamo da nijedan koji je rođen od Boga, ne greši, nego koji je rođen od Boga čuva se, i nečastivi ne dohvata se do njega. 19 Znamo da smo od Boga i sav svet leži u zlu. 20 A znamo da Sin Božji dođe, i dao nam je razum da poznamo Boga Istinitog, i da budemo u istinitom Sinu Njegovom Isusu Hristu. Ovo je Istiniti Bog i Život večni. 21 Dečice! Čuvajte se od neznaboštva. Amin.

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?
