1 John 5:6-15

English Standard Version

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

⁶ This is he who came ^(A)by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And ^(B)the Spirit is the one who testifies, because ^(C)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 (D)If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God ^(E)that he has borne concerning his Son. ¹⁰ Whoever believes in the Son of God ^(F)has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God ^(G)has made him a liar, ^(H)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 ^(I)eternal life, and ^(J)this life is in his Son. ^12 (K)Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

That You May Know

¹³ I write ^(L)these things to you who ^(M)believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. ¹⁴ And this is ^(N)the confidence that we have toward him, that ^(O)if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
