1 John 5:3 in Context — 1 John 5

1 Quiconque croit que Jésus est le Christ, est né de Dieu, et quiconque aime celui qui l’a engendré aime aussi celui qui est né de lui.

2 Nous connaissons que nous aimons les enfants de Dieu, lorsque nous aimons Dieu, et que nous pratiquons ses commandements.

3 Car l’amour de Dieu consiste à garder ses commandements. Et ses commandements ne sont pas pénibles,

4 parce que tout ce qui est né de Dieu triomphe du monde; et la victoire qui triomphe du monde, c’est notre foi.

5 Qui est celui qui a triomphé du monde, sinon celui qui croit que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu?
