so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains on him.

But whoever drinks of this water which I will give to him will never be thirsty for eternity, but the water which I will give to him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

The one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, in order that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

Jesus said to him, "Go, your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he departed.

So the father knew that [it was] that same hour at which Jesus said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

and they will come out--those who have done good [things] to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil [things] to a resurrection of judgment.

You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.

Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life.

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves!

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, [so] also the one who eats me--that one will live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.

And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish {forever}, and no one will seize them out of my hand.

So the sisters sent [word] to him, saying, "Lord, behold, [the one] whom you love is sick."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live,

The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world preserves it for eternal life.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So [the things] that I say, just as the Father said to me, thus I say."

"A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another--just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples--if you have love for one another."

Peter said to him, "Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Yet a little [time] and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.

The one who has my commandments and keeps them--that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and {will take up residence with him}.

"Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.

No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.

These [things] I command you: that you love one another.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this [reason] the world hates you.

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

And I made known to them your name, and will make [it] known, in order that the love [with] which you loved me may be in them, and I [may be] in them."

but these [things] are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that [by] believing you may have life in his name.

Now when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon [son] of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs!"

He said to him again a second time, "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Shepherd my sheep!"

He said to him a third [time], "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed because he said to him a third [time], "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep!
