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

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].
