    7For there are three who testify{Only a few recent manuscripts add "in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth"}:

    8the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

    9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

    10He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
