1 John 5:7-11

7For there are 1three that testify:

82the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are 3in agreement.

94If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that 5He has testified concerning His Son.

10The one who believes in the Son of God 6has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has 7made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

11And the testimony is this, that God has given us 8eternal life, and 9this life is in His Son.
