6. Jesus Christ is the one who came with the water of his baptism and the blood of his death. He came not only with the water, but with both the water and the blood. And the Spirit himself testifies that this is true, because the Spirit is truth.
7. There are three witnesses:
8. the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and all three give the same testimony.
9. We believe human testimony; but God's testimony is much stronger, and he has given this testimony about his Son.
