1 John 5:9

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
World English Bible (WEB)
If{G1487} we receive{G2983}{(G5719)} the witness{G3141} of men{G444}, the witness{G3141} of God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} greater{G3187}: for{G3754} this{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the witness{G3141} of God{G2316} which{G3739} he hath testified{G3140}{(G5758)} of{G4012} his{G846} Son{G5207}.
Strong's King James
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of the Elohim is greater, because the testimony of the Elohim is this: that He has testified concerning His Son.
The F.O.G*
[9] We readily accept human testimony in courts of law, but God's testimony carries far more weight because it's the testimony of יהוה Himself about His Son. His witness stands supreme above all others.If we receive the testimony of men, Yahweh's testimony is more powerful, because Yahweh's testimony is this: He Himself has testified about His Son.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.
Young's Literal Translation
