2
In this thing we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.
3
For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments be not heavy [and his commandments be not grievous].
4
For all thing that is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.
5
And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
This is Jesus Christ, that came by water and blood; not in water only, but in water and blood. And the Spirit is he that witnesseth, that Christ is [the] truth.
7
For three be, that give witnessing in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost [For three be, that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, or Son, and the Holy Ghost]; and these three be one.
8
And three be, that give witnessing in earth, the Spirit, water, and blood; and these three be one.
9
If we receive the witnessing of men, the witnessing of God is more; for this is the witnessing of God, that is more, for he witnessed of his Son.
10
He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the witnessing of God in him. He that believeth not to the Son, maketh him a liar; for he believeth not in the witnessing, that God witnessed of his Son.
11
And this is the witnessing, for God gave to you everlasting life [for God gave to us everlasting life], and this life is in his Son.
12
He that hath the Son of God, hath also life [He that hath the Son, hath life]; he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.
