1 John 5:5-12 - God Has Given Us Eternal Life In The Son

⁵ Who overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ This man, Jesus the Messiah, is the one who came by water and blood not with water only, but with water and with blood. The Spirit is the one who verifies this, because the Spirit is the truth. ⁷ For there are three witnesses in heaven the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. ⁸ And there are three witnesses on earth the Spirit, the water, and the blood and these three are one. ⁹ If we accept human testimony, God's testimony is greater, because it is the testimony of God and because he has testified about his Son. ¹⁰ The person who believes in the Son of God believes this testimony personally. The person who does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony that he has given about his Son. ¹¹ This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in his Son.

¹² The person who has the Son has this life. The person who does not have the Son of God does not have this life.
