"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.

He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages.

In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.

He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.
