Whoever believes in the Son of God possesses that testimony in his heart. Anyone who will not believe God has made him a liar, for he has refused to believe the testimony that God has borne to his Son.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us power to recognize him who is true; and we are in union with him who is true, through his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God keeps in union with him and he with God.

God's love for us has been revealed in this way??hat God has sent his only Son into the world, to let us have life through him.

If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is stronger still; for the value of God's testimony lies in this, that he has testified to his Son.
