Testimony Concerning the Son of God

1 John 5

6 This is he who came u by water and blood - Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And v the Spirit is the one who testifies, because w the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. 9 x If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God y that he has borne concerning his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God z has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God a has made him a liar, b because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us c eternal life, and d this life is in his Son. 12 e Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
