Verses 2 & 3 do not speak explicitly to overcoming, which was the issue at hand.

You might want to rethink that.

3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world.

How about this ?

Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God ...

... are born of God,

... will love God and those others begotten of God,

... and will keep His commandments.
