4 because everyone who is fathered by God conquers the world.
4
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5 Now who is the one who conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
5
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

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.

We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about 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.)
10
Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
12
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
