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

7 For there are athree that testify:

8 1the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are 2in agreement.

9 aIf we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that bHe has testified concerning His Son.

10 The one who believes in the Son of God ahas the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has bmade 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 aeternal life, and bthis life is in His Son.

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

This Is Written That You May Know

13 aThese things I have written to you who bbelieve in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have ceternal life.
