1 John 5:6-9

6This is the One who came 1by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not 2with the water only, but 3with the water and 4with the blood. It is 5the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7For there are 6three that testify:

87the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are 8in agreement.

99If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that 10He has testified concerning His Son.
