1 John 5

¹Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

²Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.

⁴For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

⁵Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.

⁷For they that bear witness are three:

⁸the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.

¹⁰He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.

¹¹And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

¹²He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.
