1 John 5:6-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Certainty of God’s Testimony
6 Jesus Christ—He is the One who came by water and blood, not by water only, but by water(A) and by blood.(B) And the Spirit is the One who testifies,(C) because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify:[a](D) 8 the Spirit,(E) the water, and the blood(F)—and these three are in agreement. 9 If we accept the testimony of men, God’s testimony(G) is greater, because it is God’s testimony that He has given about His Son. 10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him. The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar,(H) because he has not believed in the testimony God has given about His Son.)

1 John 5:6-10
King James Version
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
