1 John 5:5-12

5Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6Jesus Christ is the one who came by water and blood – not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7For there are three that testify,

8the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement.

9If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

10(The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)

11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life.
