1 John 5:9

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for it is the testimony of God, which he has given regarding his Son.

Revised King James New Testament

In The King James Version

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he does not believe the testimony that God has given regarding his Son.
