1
Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah has God as his father, and everyone who loves a father loves his offspring too.
2
Here is how we know that we love God's children: when we love God, we also do what he commands.
3
For loving God means obeying his commands. Moreover, his commands are not burdensome,
4
because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our trust.
5
Who does overcome the world if not the person who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?
6
He is the one who came by means of water and blood, Yeshua the Messiah - not with water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
7
There are three witnesses -
8
the Spirit, the water and the blood - and these three are in agreement.
9
If we accept human witness, God's witness is stronger, because it is the witness which God has given about his Son.
