and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us—

The Promise Is Eternal Life

This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.

Everyone who hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.

And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

This Is Written That You May Know

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
