10Hee that beleeueth on the Sonne of God, hath the witnesse in himselfe: he that beleeueth not God, hath made him a liar, because he beleeueth not the record that God gaue of his Sonne. 11And this is the record, that God hath giuen to vs eternall life, and this life is in his Sonne. 12Hee that hath the Sonne, hath life; and hee that hath not the Sonne, hath not life. 13These things haue I written vnto you that beleeue on the Name of the Sonne of God, that ye may know, that ye haue eternall life, and that yee may beleeue on the Name of the Sonne of God. 14And this is the confidence that we haue in him, that if wee aske any thing according to his will, hee heareth vs.

Wesley's Notes for 1 John 5:12
5:12 It plainly follows, he that hath the Son - Living and reigning in him by faith. Hath this life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not this life - Hath no part or lot therein. In the former clause, the apostle says simply, the Son; because believers know him: in the latter, the Son of God; that unbelievers may know how great a blessing they fall short of.
