1 John 5:5      1 John 5:7

First letter of John 5:6

Jesus the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) [God's chosen Son, see verse 5 and Luke 23:35] is the one who came through water and blood,
not only with water,
but with water and blood.
[The phrase "water and blood" brings to mind John's earlier account, when a soldier pierced Jesus' side with a spear so that blood and water came out, see John 19:34. However, it is unlikely that this is the event to which this refers, but rather Jesus' baptism in water and his crucifixion when his blood flowed for the sins of the world. Cerinthus, a contemporary Gnostic dualistic teacher, denied Jesus' divine birth. He taught that Jesus was an ordinary human being and that a spiritual being – Christ – came upon Jesus at his baptism in water and then left him at his crucifixion. According to him, Christ came through water, but not through blood. Presumably to counter this lie, John writes that the Son of God, see verse 5, came not only through water, but through water and blood. The Jesus who hung on the cross was the same person who was baptized in the Jordan River.]
The Spirit [the Holy Spirit] is the one who constantly testifies,
because the Spirit is the truth.
