1 John 5:3-15
-
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
-
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
-
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
-
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
-
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
-
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
-
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
-
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
-
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
-
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
-
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
-
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
-
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
