God’s Word Translation
1 John 5:6-12
6This Son of God is Jesus Christ, who came by water and blood. He didn’t come with water only, but with water and with blood. The Spirit is the one who verifies this, because the Spirit is the truth.
7There are three witnesses:
8the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three witnesses agree.
9We accept human testimony. God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony that he has given about his Son.
10Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony of God in them. Those who don’t believe God have made God a liar. They haven’t believed the testimony that God has given about his Son.
11This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in his Son.
12The person who has the Son has this life. The person who doesn’t have the Son of God doesn’t have this life.
