1 John 5:1–12

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.

²In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments.

³For this is the charity of God: That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.

⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory which overcameth the world: Our faith.

⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth that Christ is the truth.

⁷And there are Three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.

⁸And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit and the water and the blood. And these three are one.

⁹If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.

¹⁰He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.

¹¹And this is the testimony that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son.

¹²He that hath the Son hath life. He that hath not the Son hath not life.
