Berean Standard Bible
“because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.”
In 5:1-5 John weaves together three themes of his letter: faith in Jesus, love for God's children and obedience to God's commands. Just before this verse he says that God's commands are not burdensome, and this verse explains why.
