1 John 5:1-10

1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been fathered by God, and everyone who loves {the father} also loves the [child] fathered by him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,

4 because everyone who is fathered by God conquers the world.

God Has Given Us Eternal Life in the Son

5 Now who is the one who conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ, not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 For [there] are three that testify,

8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are {in agreement}.

9 If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)
