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.
8
And there are three that bear testimony on earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son.
11
And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son.
12
He that hath the Son, hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.
