I John 5:1-12
Diagram (continued)

1) Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ, has been born from God; and everyone
loving the One who has given birth is loving the one who has been born from Him.

2) In this we are knowing that we are loving the children of God, whenever we should
love God and we should be doing His commandments.

3) For this is the love of God, in order that we should keep His commandments; and
His commandments are not burdensome.

4) Because everyone who has been born from God is overcoming the world; and this is
the victory which has overcome the world, our faith.

5) Who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son
of God?

6) This One is the On who has come in water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not in water
only, but in water and in blood. And the Spirit is the one testifying because the
Spirit is the truth.

7) Because the ones testifying in heaven are three, the Father, the Word, and the Holy
Spirit; and these three are one.

8) And the ones testifying in the earth are three, the Spirit, and the water, and the
blood; and the three are into one.

9) If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; because this is
the testimony of God, which He has testified concerning His Son.

10) The one believing into the Son of God, has the testimony in himself; the one not
believing God has made Him a liar, because He has not believed into the testimony,
which God has testified concerning His Son.

11) And this is the testimony that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His
Son.

12) The one having the Son has life; the one not having the Son of God does not have
life.
