Imani, Upendo na Kuushinda Ulimwengu
1
Kila mtu anayeamini kwamba Yesu ndiye Kristo amezaliwa na Mungu, na yeyote ampendaye Baba humpenda pia mtoto aliyezaliwa naye.
2
Hivi ndivyo tunavyojua kwamba tunawapenda watoto wa Mungu, kwa kumpenda Mungu na kuzitii amri zake.
3
Huku ndiko kumpenda Mungu, yaani, kuzitii amri zake. Nazo amri zake si nzito.
4
Kwa maana kila aliyezaliwa na Mungu huushinda ulimwengu. Huku ndiko kushinda kuushindako ulimwengu, yaani, hiyo imani yetu.
5
Ni nani yule aushindaye ulimwengu? Ni yule tu aaminiye kwamba Yesu ni Mwana wa Mungu.
