1 John 5:11 Context
9If we receiue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the witnesse of God, which hee hath testified of his Sonne. 10Hee that beleeueth on the Sonne of God, hath the witnesse in himselfe: he that beleeueth not God, hath made him a liar, because he beleeueth not the record that God gaue of his Sonne. 11And this is the record, that God hath giuen to vs eternall life, and this life is in his Sonne. 12Hee that hath the Sonne, hath life; and hee that hath not the Sonne, hath not life. 13These things haue I written vnto you that beleeue on the Name of the Sonne of God, that ye may know, that ye haue eternall life, and that yee may beleeue on the Name of the Sonne of God.
