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.
2 by this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
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.
9 If 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.
10 He 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.
