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.

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(C) and by blood.(D) And the Spirit is the One who testifies,(E) because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify:[a](F) 8 the Spirit,(G) the water, and the blood(H)—and these three are in agreement. 9 If we accept the testimony of men, God’s testimony(I) is greater, because it is God’s testimony that He has given about His Son.
