1 John 5:7

Read in context

1 John 5:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 For there are three that testify:

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.

9 Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.
