IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO TESTIFIES

 

6 This is the One Who came by Water and Blood--

Jesus Christ.

He did not come by Water Only,

But by Water and Blood.

AND IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO TESTIFIES,

BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH.

7 FOR THERE ARE THREE WHO TESTIFY

THE SPIRIT, THE WATER AND THE BLOOD;

AND THE THREE ARE IN AGREEMENT.

9 We accept Human Testimony,

But God’s Testimony is Greater

BECAUSE IT IS THE TESTIMONY OF GOD,

Which He has given about His Son.

10 Whoever Believes in the Son of God

Accepts this Testimony.

Whoever does not Believe God

HAS MADE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR,

Because they have Not Believed

The Testimony God has given

About His Son.

11 AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY:

GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE,

AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.

12 WHOEVER HAS THE SON HAS LIFE;

WHOEVER DOES NOT HAVE THE SON

DOES NOT HAVE LIFE.

(1 John 5:6-12, NIV)
