1 John 5:4 in Context — 1 John 5

2 Nous connaissons que nous aimons les enfants de Dieu, lorsque nous aimons Dieu, et que nous pratiquons ses commandements.

3 Car l’amour de Dieu consiste à garder ses commandements. Et ses commandements ne sont pas pénibles,

4 parce que tout ce qui est né de Dieu triomphe du monde; et la victoire qui triomphe du monde, c’est notre foi.

5 Qui est celui qui a triomphé du monde, sinon celui qui croit que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu?

6 C’est lui, Jésus-Christ, qui est venu avec de l’eau et du sang; non avec l’eau seulement, mais avec l’eau et avec le sang; et c’est l’Esprit qui rend témoignage, parce que l’Esprit est la vérité.
