1 John 5:6-13

6 This is the One who came ¹by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is ²the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 For there are ³three that testify:

8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

9 ⁴If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that ⁵He has testified concerning His Son.

10 The one who believes in the Son of God ⁶has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has ⁷made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us ⁸eternal life, and ⁹this life is in His Son.

12 ¹⁰He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
