Connecting Statement:
John teaches about Jesus Christ and what God said about him.
This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ
"Jesus Christ is the one who came by water and blood." Here "water" is probably a metonym for the baptism of Jesus, and "blood" stands for Jesus' death on the cross. AT: "God showed that Jesus Christ is his son at Jesus' baptism and his death on the cross" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
He came not only by water, but by water and blood
Here "water" is probably a metonym for the baptism of Jesus, and "blood" stands for Jesus' death on the cross. AT: "God did not show us Jesus was his son just through his baptism, but through his baptism and his death on the cross" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
