1 Који год верује да је Исус Христос, од Бога је рођен; и који год љуби Оног који је родио, љуби и Оног који је рођен од Њега.
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 По том знамо да љубимо децу Божију кад Бога љубимо и Његове заповести држимо.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Јер је ово љубав Божија да заповести Његове држимо; и заповести Његове нису тешке.
3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
4 Јер сваки који је рођен од Бога побеђује свет; и вера је наша ова победа која победи свет.
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
5 Ко је који свет побеђује осим оног који верује да је Исус Син Божји?
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Ово је Исус Христос што дође водом и крвљу и Духом, не само водом него водом и крвљу; и Дух је који сведочи, јер је Дух истина,
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 For there are three who testify:
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
9 Кад примамо сведочанство човечије, сведочанство је Божије веће; јер је ово сведочанство Божије што сведочи за Сина свог.
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 Који верује Сина Божијег има сведочанство у себи; који не верује Богу начинио Га је лажом, јер не верова сведочанству које сведочи Бог за Сина свог.
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 И ово је сведочанство да нам је Бог дао живот вечни; и овај живот вечни у Сину је Његовом.
11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 Ко има Сина Божијег има живот; ко нема Сина Божијег нема живот.
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
13 Ово писах вама који верујете у име Сина Божијег, да знате да имате живот вечни и да верујете у име Сина Божијег.
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 И ово је слобода коју имамо к Њему да ако шта молимо по вољи Његовој послуша нас.
14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
15 И кад знамо да нас слуша шта год молимо, знамо да ће нам дати шта тражимо од Њега.
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 Ако ко види брата свог где греши грех не к смрти, нека моли, и даће му живот, онима који греше не к смрти. Има грех к смрти: за тај не говорим да моли.
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 Свака је неправда грех; и има грех не к смрти.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
18 Знамо да ниједан који је рођен од Бога, не греши, него који је рођен од Бога чува се, и нечастиви не дохвата се до њега.
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 Знамо да смо од Бога и сав свет лежи у злу.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 А знамо да Син Божји дође, и дао нам је разум да познамо Бога Истинитог, и да будемо у истинитом Сину Његовом Исусу Христу. Ово је Истинити Бог и Живот вечни.
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 Дечице! Чувајте се од незнабоштва. Амин.
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?
