1 John 5:6

This is the true story about Jesus Christ, God’s son. He came to this earth, and he got baptised with water. Later on, he died, and his blood came out. Yes, Jesus Christ got baptised, but he also died. God’s spirit tells us that story is true. And everything God’s spirit says is right.

Plain English Version

In The King James Version

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
