4Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.
5Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?
6This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.
7And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.
8There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.
9If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.
10He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.
