[288] So the perfect is used throughout. γεγεννηται. ii. 29, iii. 9, iv. 7. παν το γεγεννημενον. v. 4. Very remarkably below, πας ὁ γεγεννημενος--αλλα ὁ γεννηθεις εκ του Θεου; the first of the regenerate man who continues in that condition of grace, the second of the Begotten Son of God who keeps His servant. 1 John v. 18. [289] _Training of children; or How to Make the Children into Saints and Soldiers of Jesus Christ._ By the General of the Salvation Army. London: Salvation Army Book Stores, pp. 162, 163. [290] Not quite, cf. Rom. viii. 37, xii, 21; 1 Cor. xv. 55, 57. The substantive νικη occurs only 1 John v. 4. A slightly different form (νικος) is in Matt. xii. 20; 1 Cor. xv. 54, 55, 57. [291] John xvi. 33. [292] John ii. 13, 14. [293] 1 John iv. 4. [294] It does not seem possible to convey to the English reader the fourfold harping upon the word (1 John v. 4, 5) by any other rendering. "The _victory_ that hath _overcome_ the world" (R.V.) fails in this. The noble translation of ὑπερνικωμεν (Rom. viii. 37), happily retained by the Revisers, is rendered consistent by the translation here proposed. [295] Apoc. ii. 13, xiv. 12. [296] Fides _quæ creditur_, not _quâ creditur_. [297] "Thou who art victory!" WORDSWORTH, _Ode to Duty_. [298] ὑπερνικωμεν. Rom. viii. 37. DISCOURSE XII. _THE GOSPEL AS A GOSPEL OF WITNESS; THE THREE WITNESSES._ "It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater, for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself."--1 JOHN v. 6-10.
