TRANSCRIPT
1 John 5:9 – 139 We believe human testimony; but God's testimony is much stronger,
and he has given this testimony about his Son. 10 So those who believe in the Son of God have this testimony in their own heart; but those who do not believe God, have made a liar of him, because they have not believed what God has said about his Son.
1 John 5:9 – 1311 The testimony is this: God has
given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have eternal life—you that believe in the Son of God.
