1
Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten by him.
2
By this we know 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 whatever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
5
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth testimony, because the Spirit is truth.
7
For there are three that bear testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.
