1 John 5 Intro: The new birth -- The witnesses which bear record of eternal life.
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

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

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.
