he that believeth on the son of God, hath the testimony of God thereto: he that does not believe God, impeaches his veracity, because he does not believe the testimony that God gave of his son.

We know that the son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding to know him that is true: and we are with him that is true, by his son Jesus Christ. "he is the true God, who is the author of eternal life."

whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

he that receives the son, is intitled to life; and he that does not receive the son of God, has no title to life.

by this was the love of God displayed towards us, in that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live thro' him.

if we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: now this is the testimony, which God has given us of his son.
