1 John 5:1–12

Whosoever ^abelieveth that ^bJesus is the Christ is ^cborn of God: and ^devery one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. ²By this we know that we love ^ethe children of God, when we love God, and ^fkeep his commandments. ³For ^gthis is the love of God, that we ^fkeep his commandments: and ^hhis commandments are not grievous. ⁴For whatsoever is born of God ⁱovercometh the world: and ^jthis is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵Who is he that ⁱovercometh the world, but ^jhe that believeth ^kthat Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶This is he that came ^lby water and ^lblood, even Jesus Christ; not ^mby water only, but by water and blood. And ⁿit is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. ⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. ⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, ^othe spirit, and ^lthe water, and ^lthe blood: and these three agree in one. ^9pIf we receive the witness of men, ^qthe witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God ^rwhich he hath testified of his Son. ¹⁰He that believeth on the Son of God ^shath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God ^thath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. ¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us ^ueternal life, and ^vthis life is in his Son. ^12wHe that ^xhath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
