1 John 5:1-6




Iconostasis of the Cathedral of Hajdúdorog , Calvary scene 

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, 

and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. 

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

Moses and the Commandments

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our^[a] faith. 

 

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Christ in Majesty

This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ;

 

not only by water, but by water and blood.

 

And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
