1 John 5:11

1 John 5:11

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.

12 ^aHe who has the Son has¹ life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,¹ and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

hath given—Greek, aorist: "gave" once for all. Not only "promised" it.

life is in his Son—essentially (John 1:4; John 11:25; John 14:6); bodily (Colossians 2:9); operatively (II Timothy 1:10) [LANGE in ALFORD]. It is in the second Adam, the Son of God, that this life is secured to us, which, if left to depend on us, we should lose, like the first Adam.
