And the life was manifested, and we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us (1 John 1:2) And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God and we are in him who is true; in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20).
