Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
To all who received him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
He [the Word, Jesus] was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
