2. Scripture Reading:
1John 5:9-13

3. 1John 5:9-13
9 If we receive the witness
of men, the witness of God
is greater; for this is the
witness of God which He
has testified of His Son.

4. 1John 5:9-13
10 He who believes in the
Son of God has the witness
in himself; he who does not
believe God has made Him
a liar, because he has not
believed the testimony that
God has given of His Son.

5. 1John 5:9-13
11 And this is the testimony:
that God has given us
eternal life, and this life is in
His Son. 12 He who has the
Son has life; he who does
not have the Son of God
does not have life.

6. 1John 5:9-13
13 These things I have
written to you who believe
in the name of the Son of
God, that you may know
that you have eternal life,
and that you may continue
to believe in the name of
the Son of God.
