¹⁶ “For God so ^(A)loved the world, that He ^(B)gave His ^(C)only Son, so that everyone who ^(D)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

^18 (A)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of ^(B)the only Son of God.

²⁴ “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and ^(A)believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and ^(B)does not come into judgment, but has ^(C)passed out of death into life.

^37 (A)Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. ³⁸ For ^(B)I have come down from heaven, ^(C)not to do My own will, but ^(D)the will of Him who ^(E)sent Me. ³⁹ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of ^(F)everything that He has given Me I will ^(G)lose nothing, but will ^(H)raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who ^(I)sees the Son and ^(J)believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will ^(K)raise him up on the last day.”

²⁷ My sheep ^(A)listen to My voice, and ^(B)I know them, and they follow Me; ²⁸ and I give them ^(C)eternal life, and they will never perish; and ^(D)no one will snatch them out of My hand.

²³ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your ^(C)spirit and soul and body be kept complete, ^(D)without blame at ^(E)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^24 (F)Faithful is He who ^(G)calls you, and He also will do it.

²⁵ Therefore He is also able to ^(A)save ^[a]forever those who ^(B)come to God through Him, since He always lives to ^(C)make intercession for them.

^8 (A)If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the ^(B)truth is not in us. ^9 (C)If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and ^(D)cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ^10 (E)If we say that we have not sinned, we ^(F)make Him a liar and ^(G)His word is not in us.

Christ Is Our Advocate

2 ^(H)My little children, I am ^(I)writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, ^(J)we have an ^[a](K)Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

This Is Written That You May Know

^13 (A)These things I have written to you who ^(B)believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have ^(C)eternal life.
