This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But the witness which I receive (Egō de ou tēn marturian lambanō). “But I do not receive the witness” simply from a man (like John). The egō (I) in sharp contrast with humeis (ye) of Joh 5:33. Jesus complained of Nicodemus for not accepting his witness (Joh 3:11). Cf. also Joh 3:32. In 1Jo 5:9 the witness of God is greater than that of men and this Jesus has.
That ye may be saved (hina humeis sōthēte). Final clause with hina and first aorist passive subjunctive of sōzō. This was the purpose of Christ’s coming, that the world might be saved (Joh 3:17).
