He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

He that believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} on{G1519} the Son{G5207} of God{G2316} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} the witness{G3141} in{G1722} himself{G1438}: he that believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} not{G3361} God{G2316} hath made{G4160}{(G5758)} him{G846} a liar{G5583}; because{G3754} he believeth{G4100}{(G5758)} not{G3756}{G1519} the record{G3141} that{G3739} God{G2316} gave{G3140}{(G5758)} of{G4012} his{G846} Son{G5207}.
KJV with Strongs
The one believing in the Son of the Elohim has the testimony in himself. The one not believing the Elohim has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that the Elohim has given concerning His Son.
The F.O.G
[10] Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony living within them. Anyone who doesn't believe has made God out to be a liar by rejecting His testimony about His Son. It's like having an internal witness that either confirms or contradicts God's truth. Anyone who continues to believe in Yahweh’s Son has the testimony within themselves. Anyone not trusting in Yahweh has made Him out to be a liar, for they don’t trust in the testimony that Yahweh has given about His Son.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

God's Word is too vast for a single perspective. We all have a story, and as believers we all carry the Holy Spirit who is the Revealer. With this in mind - I would love to read your comments.
