1 EVERY one who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him. 2 Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we should keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome. 4 Because every one that is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, except he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one. 8 And there are three which bear witness upon earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are for the same one object. 1 John 5:1-8, Haweis New Testament.
