1 John 5:4-12

4For 1whoever has been 2born of God 3overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

5Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who 4believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is the One who came 5by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not 6with the water only, but 7with the water and 8with the blood. It is 9the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are 10three that testify: 8 11the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are 12in agreement. 9 13If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that 14He has testified concerning His Son. 10The one who believes in the Son of God 15has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has 16made 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 17eternal life, and 18this life is in His Son. 12 19The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
