  1. It is I John 5:5 and I will get back to you. (Just in case it is not clear, it is First John 5:5.)

    Edit added:

    I assume you accidentally did not hit the t in what.

    The world in this case refers to the things of the carnal world and not the world itself. It is saying that a true believer can overcome any worldly and/or spiritually unhealthy desires.


  2. This is from the Bible, 1 John 5:5. You are quoting the King James Version. It does help to read the entire verse --- or better yet to read the entire chapter --- to get the context. It also can be helpful to read the same verse in a more modern translation.

    Here is the verse in the New International Version...

    Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

    This means that Jesus is the Son of God, and that those who believe in him have overcome the world. This isn't "overcoming" in the sense of a military victory, but in a spiritual sense.

    It means that those who believe in Jesus rejoice in the eternal life, hope, and forgiveness that they have through Jesus.

    It means staying loyal to Jesus and obeying God's commands despite Satan's attacks and the many temptations out there in our sinful world.

    It means resisting those temptations.

    It means adhering to God's value system rather than popular philosophies of the day.

    It means we use and enjoy the world and the things in it, but realize that they are gifts from God, rather than becoming materialistic

    It means putting up with pain and suffering and hardship without becoming bitter or giving up hope.

    It means that on the last day or final day of judgment, those who believe in Jesus will overcome death, rise again to eternal life with Jesus.

  3. no one have truth answer..

    but if u believe.. u can find the answer..

  4. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?—I John 5:4,5.

    John plainly states that the believer overcomes the world. This statement doesn't seem to harmonize with the defeated lives of many of God s children. All around us are those who declare positively that they believe in Christ the Saviour, yet admit they are living defeated lives.

    WHAT IS A DEFEATED LIFE?

    A life without fruit. We are commanded by the Lord to bear fruit. Jesus said, "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples" (John 15:8).

    A life without power. If the power were present, the life would not be defeated. Jesus said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me. . ." (Acts 1:8).

    A life without a positive influence. The life of the victorious Christian points in one direction—toward the Lord. The defeated life has no positive influence.

    A life dominated by the flesh. The Corinthians were defeated Christians. Paul called them "babes in Christ." They were carnal, not spiritual.

    A life directed at times by Satan.

    Are you saying that a Christian's life is never directed by the evil one? If so, you are speaking against the Word of God. Simon Peter said to Christians,

    "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. "—I Peter 5:8,9.

    James also said, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). These and many other Scriptures show that the Devil is constantly after us. Some Christians succumb to his enticing words, and they are directed for a while by Satan.

    A life dictated by the world. John tells us, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (I John 2:15). The apostle indicates the danger of loving the world; therefore, he warns the children of God against this love.

    In a much stronger way, James said, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God" (James 4:4).


  5. This means that if you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, you can overcome the world.  

  6. Is this a verse in the bible if so tell which one.
