The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

5:1WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

5:2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

5:3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

5:4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5:5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

5:6This 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.

5:7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

5:8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

5:9If 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.

5:10He 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.

5:11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

5:12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
