The Certainty of God’s Testimony
6 Jesus Christ—He is the One who came by water and blood, not by water only, but by water(A) and by blood.(B) And the Spirit is the One who testifies,(C) because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify:[a](D) 8 the Spirit,(E) the water, and the blood(F)—and these three are in agreement. 9 If we accept the testimony of men, God’s testimony(G) is greater, because it is God’s testimony that He has given about His Son. 10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him. The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar,(H) because he has not believed in the testimony God has given about His Son.)
