Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

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

Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
