1 Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving him having begotten, loves him also begotten of him. 2 In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commands. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy. 4 For everything begotten of God conquers the world: and this is the victory having conquered the world, our faith. 5 Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth. 7 For three are testifying (in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one. 8 And three are testifying in the earth,) the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three are for one. 1 John 5:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
