1
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who 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 burdensome.
4
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
5
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6
This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
