9. We accept human testimony. God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony that he has given about his Son.
10. Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony of God in them. Those who don’t believe God have made God a liar. They haven’t believed the testimony that God has given about his Son.
11. This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in his Son.
12. The person who has the Son has this life. The person who doesn’t have the Son of God doesn’t have this life.
13. I’ve written this to those who believe in the Son of God so that they will know that they have eternal life.
