2
Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when 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 grievous.
4
For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.
5
Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.
7
For they that bear witness are three:
8
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.
9
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.
10
He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.
11
And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.
12
He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.
