1 Whoever believes that aJesus is the Christ is bborn of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and akeep His commandments.
3 aFor this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And bHis commandments are not burdensome.
4 For awhatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that bhas overcome the world—our faith.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but ahe who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
The Certainty of God’s Witness
6 This is He who came aby water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. bAnd it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear witness1 in heaven: the Father, athe Word, and the Holy Spirit; band these three are one.
