⁵⁷ I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.

²⁰ My old self has been crucified with Christ.^[a] It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

²¹ I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

⁹ God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.

³ For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ And when Christ, who is your^[a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

²⁶ The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son.

¹⁷ God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

⁹ for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God.

⁴ Although he was crucified in weakness, he now lives by the power of God. We, too, are weak, just as Christ was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with him and will have God’s power.

²² Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
