1 John 5:8 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 John 5:7      1 John 5:9

First letter of John 5:8


the Spirit [God's Spirit testifies that Jesus is God in God's word],
the water [Jesus' baptism when he received the Holy Spirit and the Father himself said, "This is my beloved Son," see Matt. 3:17]
and the blood [Jesus' death on the cross when he laid down his life for the sins of the whole world], and the three are in agreement (their testimony is consistent).
[The water and the blood have the same meaning as in verse 6. The water refers to his baptism and the blood to his death. The Spirit has to do with God's testimony, see verse 9. The Spirit testifies through the Prophets, Scripture, and historical evidence, from Jesus' baptism – when he entered his public ministry – to his death on the cross, about who Jesus is. In a human court, two or three witnesses are required to decide a case, see Deuteronomy 19:15.]
