Settings

2 1By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
3 For 2this is the love of God, that we 3keep his commandments. And 4his commandments are not burdensome.
4 For 5everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--6our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes 7that Jesus is the Son of God?

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

6 This is he who came 8by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And 9the Spirit is the one who testifies, because 10the Spirit is the truth.
7 For there are three that testify:
8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
9 11If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God 12that he has borne concerning his Son.
10 Whoever believes in the Son of God 13has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God 14has made him a liar, 15because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.
11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us 16eternal life, and 17this life is in his Son.
12 18Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
