1 John 5:5-9
English Standard Version
5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes (A)that Jesus is the Son of God?
Testimony Concerning the Son of God
6 This is he who came (B)by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And (C)the Spirit is the one who testifies, because (D)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 (E)If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God (F)that he has borne concerning his Son.

5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who (A)believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is the One who came (B)by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not [a]with the water only, but [b]with the water and [c]with the blood. It is (C)the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are (D)three that testify: 8 [d]the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are [e]in agreement. 9 (E)If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that (F)He has testified concerning His Son.
