This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Ver. 8. The Spirit and the water] The Spirit of sanctification testified by saving graces and new divine gifts, the water of repentance, and the blood of Christ applied by faith. These be the three witnesses of a man’s happiness here. When the waters of sanctification are troubled and muddy, let us run to the witness of blood.
