NASB | 1 John 5:6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:6 This is He who came through water and blood [His baptism and death], Jesus Christ--not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. It is the [Holy] Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [He is the essence and origin of truth itself.] |
Bible Question:
Does v.6 the Spirit witnesses ... connect with v 9 the witness of God, God testified. (Wish I could use a highlighter.) 1Jn 5:6-10 (6) 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. (7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (9) 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. (10) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not ***the record that God gave*** of his Son. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Thomas8, Yes, there is a connection! "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God" (Romans 8:16) "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning." (John 15:26-27) See also John 3:33-36; 5:37; 8:18; 16:13-15; 19:34 I hope that these verses help! Blessings to you, Makarios |
