1 John 5:6-8
New King James Version
The Certainty of God’s Witness
6 This is He who came (A)by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. (B)And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness [a]in heaven: the Father, (C)the Word, and the Holy Spirit; (D)and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: (E)the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

It is (B)the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are (C)three that testify: 8 [d]the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are [e]in agreement.
