1 John 5:1-8

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent also loves his child.

2 This is how we know that we love God's children when we love God and obey^[a] His commands.

3 For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Now His commands are not a burden,

5 And who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood-and these three are in agreement.
