1 John 5:6-12

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: 8 7the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are 8in agreement. 9 9If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that 10He has testified concerning His Son. 10The one who believes in the Son of God 11has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has 12made 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 13eternal life, and 14this life is in His Son. 12 15The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
