1 John 5:4-8

4For whateverG3956 is 1 2bornG1080 of GodG2316 3overcomesG3528 the worldG2889; and thisG3778 is the victoryG3529 that has overcomeG3528 the worldG2889--our faithG4102.

5WhoG5101 is the one who overcomesG3528 the worldG2889, but he who 4believesG4100 that JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316? 6ThisG3778 is the One who cameG2064 5by waterG5204 and bloodG129, JesusG2424 ChristG5547; not 6with the waterG5204 onlyG3440, but 7with the waterG5204 and 8with the bloodG129. It is 9the SpiritG4151 who testifiesG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 is the truthG225. 7For thereG1510 are 10threeG5140 that testifyG3140: 8 11the SpiritG4151 and the waterG5204 and the bloodG129; and the threeG5140 are 12in agreementG1520.
