²⁵ And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.

²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me,

²¹ and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

² For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. ³ And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

² This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.

² This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.

¹² Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.

²¹ So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁷ He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.
