Settings

5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who 1believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is the One who came 2by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is 3the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For there are 4three that testify:
8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
9 5If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that 6He has testified concerning His Son.
10 The one who believes in the Son of God 7has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has 8made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.
11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us 9eternal life, and 10this life is in His Son.
12 11He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
