1 John 5:5

Who—"Who" else "but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God:" "the Christ" (I John 5:1)? Confirming, by a triumphant question defying all contradiction, as an undeniable fact, I John 5:4, that the victory which overcomes the world is faith. For it is by believing: that we are made one with Jesus the Son of God, so that we partake of His victory over the world, and have dwelling in us One greater than he who is in the world (I John 4:4). "Survey the whole world, and show me even one of whom it can be affirmed with truth that he overcomes the world, who is not a Christian, and endowed with this faith" [EPISCOPIUS in ALFORD].
