Testimony About the Son

This14 is the conquering power15 that has conquered16 the world: our faith. 5:5 Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that17 Jesus is the Son of God? 5:6 Jesus Christ is the one who came by water and blood—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because18 the Spirit is the truth. 5:7 For19 there are three that testify,20 5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement.

5:9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because21 this22 is the testimony of God that23 he has testified concerning his Son. 5:10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)24 5:11 And this is the testimony: God25 has given us eternal life,26 and this life is in his Son. 5:12 The one who has the Son27 has this28 eternal29 life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this30 eternal31 life.
