4 because everyone who is born from God defeats the world. And this is the victory that has defeated the world: our faith.
5 Who defeats the world? Isn’t it the one who believes that Jesus is God’s Son?
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.
10 The one who believes in God’s Son has the testimony within; the one who doesn’t believe God has made God a liar, because that one has not believed the testimony that God gave about his Son.
