⁴⁶ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.^(A)”^(B)

¹⁶ For God so loved^(A) the world that he gave^(B) his one and only Son,^(C) that whoever believes^(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^{(E) 17} For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^{(G) 18} Whoever believes in him is not condemned,^(H) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.^(I)

²⁸ “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming^(A) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

²⁹ and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.^(A)

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am^(A) the resurrection and the life.^(B) The one who believes^(C) in me will live, even though they die;

²⁶ and whoever lives by believing^(A) in me will never die.^(B) Do you believe this?”

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.^(A) You believe^(B) in God^[a];^(C) believe also in me. ² My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there^(D) to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back^(E) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.^{(F) 4} You know the way to the place where I am going.”

⁵ (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.^(A)

⁶ Blessed^(A) and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death^(B) has no power over them, but they will be priests^(C) of God and of Christ and will reign with him^(D) for a thousand years.
