10 He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;
The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
if we may say -- `we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise -- in your hearts;
for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?
The secret of Jehovah `is' for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.
And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
