Compare all
3 aFor this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And bHis commandments are not burdensome.

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.  
8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: athe Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.  
9 If we receive athe witness of men, the witness of God is greater; bfor this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.  
10 He who believes in the Son of God ahas the witness in himself; he who does not believe God bhas made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.  
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

John Wesley's Notes

1 John 5:5

Who is he that overcometh the world - That is superior to all worldly care, desire, fear? Every believer, and none else. I John 5:7 (usually so reckoned) is a brief recapitulation of all which has been before advanced concerning the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. It is cited, in conjunction with I John 5:6 and I John 5:8 by Tertullian, Cyprian, and an uninterrupted train of Fathers. And, indeed, what the sun is in the world, what the heart is in a man, what the needle is in the mariner's compass, this verse is in the epistle. By this I John 5:6, and I John 5:8-9 are indissolubly connected; as will be evident, beyond all contradiction, when they are accurately considered.
