Faith in the Incarnate Son of God
5Everyone who believesn that Jesus is the Christo is born of God,p and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.q 2This is how we knowr that we love the children of God:s by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.t And his commands are not burdensome,u 4for everyone born of Godv overcomesw the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.x
6This is the one who came by water and bloody—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.z 7For there are threea that testify: 8thea Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9We accept human testimony,b but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,c which he has given about his Son. 10Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.d Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,e because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,f and this life is in his Son.g 12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.h
