1 John 5 — Context

4

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

5

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6

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

7

For there are three that testify:

8

the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

9

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

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 given concerning His Son.
