1 John 5:5-9
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he 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 bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are (D)three that bear witness: 8 [d]the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are [e]in agreement. 9 (E)If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for the witness of God is this, that (F)He has borne witness about His Son.

Common English Bible
5 Who defeats the world? Isn’t it the one who believes that Jesus is God’s Son?
Testimony about Jesus
6 This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 The three are testifying— 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and the three are united in agreement. 9 If we receive human testimony, God’s testimony is greater, because this is what God testified: he has testified about his Son.
