1 John 5:1-8
Overcoming the World

1 Whosoever 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.

1:

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

2:

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

3:

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

4:

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

5:

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.

6:

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

7:

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