1
Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Messiah is born of God. Whoever loves the father also loves the child who is born of him.
2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his mitzvot.
3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his mitzvot. His mitzvot are not grievous.
4
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
5
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?
6
This is he who came by water and blood, Yeshua the Messiah; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood.
7
It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
8
For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
9
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
