Overcoming the World

1 aWhoever° believes° that Jesus° is the IChrist° is IIbborn° of God°, and whoever° loves° the IIIFather° cloves° the [child] IIborn° of Him. 2 aBy this° we know° that bwe love° the children° of God°, when° we love° God° and Iobserve° His commandments°. 3 For athis° is the love° of God°, that we bkeep° His commandments°; and cHis commandments° are not burdensome°. 4 For whatever° is Iaborn° of God° bovercomes° the world°; and this° is the victory° that has overcome° the world°—our faith°.
