²¹ assuming that ^(A)you have heard about him and ^(B)were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come and ^(A)has given us understanding, so that we may know ^(B)him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and ^(C)eternal life.

¹³ In him you also, when you heard ^(A)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, ^(B)were sealed with the ^(C)promised Holy Spirit,

A Rest for the People of God

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

¹⁰ Whoever believes in the Son of God ^(A)has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God ^(B)has made him a liar, ^(C)because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gave us ^(D)eternal life, and ^(E)this life is in his Son. ^12 (F)Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

^7 (A)rooted and ^(B)built up in him and ^(C)established in the faith, just ^(D)as you were taught, abounding ^(E)in thanksgiving.

¹⁷ even ^(A)the Spirit of truth, ^(B)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and ^(C)will be^[a] in you.

^10 (A)As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine ^(B)will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

²⁰ For ^(A)all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our ^(B)Amen to God for his glory.
