1 John 5:4-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
4 For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7
For there are three that testify:
8
the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
King James Version
Chapter 5
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
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.
7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
4 because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.
5
Who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
Jesus Christ--he is the one who came by water and blood, not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7
For there are three that testify:
8
the Spirit, the water, and the blood--and these three are in agreement.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 5 And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
6
And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross--not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony.
7
So we have these three witnesses--
8
the Spirit, the water, and the blood--and all three agree.
