First John 5: 5- 13

5:5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God!
5:6This is the One who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies that the Christ is the Truth.
5:7For there are Three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One.
5:8And there are three who give testimony on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three are one.
5:9If we accept the testimony of men, then the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater: that he has testified about his Son.
5:10Whoever believes in the Son of God, holds the testimony of God within himself. Whoever does not believe in the Son, makes him a liar, because he does not believe in the testimony which God has testified about his Son.
5:11And this is the testimony which God has given to us: Eternal Life. And this Life is in his Son.
5:12Whoever has the Son, has Life. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life.
5:13I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

Mark 1: 7- 11

1:7And he preached, saying: “One stronger than me comes after me. I am not worthy to reach down and loosen the laces of his shoes.
1:8I have baptized you with water. Yet truly, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
1:9And it happened that, in those days, Jesus arrived from Nazareth of Galilee. And he was baptized by John in the Jordan.
1:10And immediately, upon ascending from the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending, and remaining with him.
1:11And there was a voice from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.”
