1 John 5:19 in Context — 1 John 5

17 Toda maldad es pecado; mas hay pecado no de muerte.

18 Sabemos que cualquiera que es nacido de Dios, no peca; mas el que es engendrado de Dios, se guarda á sí mismo, y el maligno no le toca.

19 Sabemos que somos de Dios, y todo el mundo está puesto en maldad.

20 Empero sabemos que el Hijo de Dios es venido, y nos ha dado entendimiento para conocer al que es verdadero: y estamos en el verdadero, en su Hijo Jesucristo. Este es el verdadero Dios, y la vida eterna.

21 Hijitos, guardaos de los ídolos. Amén.
