Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his own heart. Whoever does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has borne to His Son.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us insight to recognize the True One; and we are in union with the True One through His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Whoever owns that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in union with him and he in union with God.

This is the way God's love for us has been shown, namely, God has sent His only Son into the world that we through Him might have life.

If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is stronger still; because this is the testimony that God has borne to His Son.

We know that no one who is born of God makes a practice of sinning, but the Son who was born of God continues to keep him, and the evil one cannot touch him.
