(The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Dear friends, do not believe every spirit,<n id="1" /> but test<n id="2" /> the spirits<n id="3" /> to determine<n id="4" /> if they are from God, because many false prophets<n id="5" /> have gone out into the world.

Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that<n id="1" /> Jesus is the Son of God?

<t /><p class="bodytext">I have written these things<n id="1" /> to you who believe<n id="2" /> in the name of the Son of God so that<n id="3" /> you may know that you have eternal life.p>

Now<n id="1" /> this is his commandment:<n id="2" /> that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he gave<n id="3" /> us the commandment.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ<n id="1" /> has been fathered<n id="2" /> by God, and everyone who loves the father<n id="3" /> loves the child fathered by him.<n id="4" />

And we have come to know and to believe<n id="1" /> the love that God has in us.<n id="2" /> God is love, and the one who resides<n id="3" /> in love resides in God, and God resides in him.
