¹⁶ However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

¹³ although ^(A)I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an ^[a]insolent man; but I obtained mercy because ^(B)I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

^47 (A)Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. ^12 (A)He who has the Son has ^[a]life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

¹⁵ and consider that ^(A)the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

^9 (A)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but ^(B)is longsuffering toward ^[a]us, ^(C)not willing that any should perish but ^(D)that all should come to repentance.

⁷ that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in ^(A)His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

^31 (A)but these are written that ^(B)you may believe that Jesus ^(C)is the Christ, the Son of God, ^(D)and that believing you may have life in His name.

⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, ^(A)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

¹⁵ that whoever ^(A)believes in Him should ^[a]not perish but ^(B)have eternal life. ^16 (C)For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten ^(D)Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
