1 John 5:2-12

2 Here is how we know that we love God's children: when we love God, we also do what he commands.
3 For loving God means obeying his commands. Moreover, his commands are not burdensome,
4 because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our trust.
5 Who does overcome the world if not the person who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?
6 He is the one who came by means of water and blood, Yeshua the Messiah - not with water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 There are three witnesses -
8 the Spirit, the water and the blood - and these three are in agreement.
9 If we accept human witness, God's witness is stronger, because it is the witness which God has given about his Son.
10 Those who keep trusting in the Son of God have this witness in them. Those who do not keep trusting God have made him out to be a liar, because they have not trusted in the witness which God has given about his Son.
11 And this is the witness: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God do not have the life.
