SIL Translator's Notes on 1 John 5:7

5:7

three that testify: (Lexical Problem) John means that there are three things which show us the truth about Jesus. However, in your language it may not be possible to refer to the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ baptism and his death with one general term like “things.” See the Display for 5:7–8 for a suggested solution to this problem.
