In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
