Witness
In these words there is a obvious allusion to the stipulation of the Mosaic law requiring the corroborative evidence of two or three witnesses.
The effect here is to underscore the trustworthiness of the witness to Jesus Christ.
We also have a continuing witness.
The Spirit, the water, and the blood “bear witness” present tense.
The water and the blood are references to particular events by which Christ fulfilled His messianic mission.
5:9
Both Jewish and Roman law depended on witnesses who bore clear testimony to establish the facts of a legal case.
A sin that doesn’t lead to death (cp.
v. 17) is a sin for which forgiveness is possible (1:9).
Sin that leads to death may be the flagrant offenses against God that so much of 1 John warns against.
John may have been speaking about apostasy (falling away from Jesus; denying the apostolic truth).
John called on his readers to leave these offenses and offenders in God’s hands rather than agonizing in prayer about them.
“Death” means spiritual death and eternal separation from God.
