1 JOHN 5:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 3
“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.”
This is he who came by water and blood — Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth — the water (baptism) and blood (crucifixion) establish Christ's historical reality and sacrificial significance. The Spirit's testimony (martureo) confirms the reality of incarnate redemption.
