⁴³ And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in ^(A)Paradise.”

^7 (A)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give ^(B)to eat from ^(C)the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

^23 [a]For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a ^(A)desire to depart and be with Christ, which is ^(B)far better.

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

^15 (A)This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that ^(B)Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 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.

^10 (A)for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(A)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^(B)where I am, there you may be also.

³ And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— ⁴ how he was caught up into ^(A)Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
