English Standard Version

1 John 5:3-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

4. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

5. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6. This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7. For there are three that testify:

8. the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.

9. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.

10. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.
