6ThisG3778 is the One who cameG2064 1by waterG5204 and bloodG129, JesusG2424 ChristG5547; not 2with the waterG5204 onlyG3440, but 3with the waterG5204 and 4with the bloodG129. It is 5the SpiritG4151 who testifiesG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 is the truthG225.

7For thereG1510 are 6threeG5140 that testifyG3140:

87the SpiritG4151 and the waterG5204 and the bloodG129; and the threeG5140 are 8in agreementG1520.

99IfG1487 we receiveG2983 the testimonyG3141 of menG444, the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173; for the testimonyG3141 of GodG2316 is thisG3778, that 10He has testifiedG3140 concerningG4012 His SonG5207.
