1 John 5:9 in Context — 1 John 5

7 Porque tres son los que dan testimonio en el cielo, el Padre, el Verbo, y el Espíritu Santo: y estos tres son uno.

8 Y tres son los que dan testimonio en la tierra, el Espíritu, y el agua, y la sangre: y estos tres concuerdan en uno.

9 Si recibimos el testimonio de los hombres, el testimonio de Dios es mayor; porque éste es el testimonio de Dios, que ha testificado de su Hijo.

10 El que cree en el Hijo de Dios, tiene el testimonio en sí mismo: el que no cree á Dios, le ha hecho mentiroso; porque no ha creído en el testimonio que Dios ha testificado de su Hijo.

11 Y este es el testimonio: Que Dios nos ha dado vida eterna; y esta vida está en su Hijo.
