Bible verse
This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.
1 John 5:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 John 5.
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 because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5 Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For there are three that testify:
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.
9 Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.
10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.
