So the sisters sent a message to Him: “Lord, the one 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 will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

I know that His command is eternal life. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

“I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another.

By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? I assure you: A rooster will not crow until you have denied Me three times.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.

“In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live too.

The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.

On the contrary, I am going away so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the Father commanded Me, so I do.

“Get up; let’s leave this place.

“As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Remain in My love.

If you keep My commands you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love.

This is My command: Love one another as I have loved you.

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

This is what I command you: Love one another.

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

for You gave Him authority
over all flesh;
so He may give eternal life
to all You have given Him.

This is eternal life:
that they may know You, the only true God,
and the One You have sent—Jesus Christ.

I made Your name known to them
and will make it known,
so the love You have loved Me with
may be in them and I may be in them.

But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name.

When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”

“Feed My lambs,” He told him.

A second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”

“Shepherd My sheep,” He told him.

He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”

Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, “Do you love Me?” He said, “Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You.”

“Feed My sheep,” Jesus said.

“For it is written in the Book of Psalms:

Let his dwelling become desolate;
let no one live in it; and
Let someone else take his position.

Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

You have revealed the paths of life to me;
You will fill me with gladness
in Your presence.

You killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.

saying, “What should we do with these men? For an obvious sign, evident to all who live in Jerusalem, has been done through them, and we cannot deny it!

“Go and stand in the temple complex, and tell the people all about this life.”

“Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this land you now live in.

In His humiliation justice was denied Him.
Who will describe His generation?
For His life is taken from the earth.

When they heard this they became silent. Then they glorified God, saying, “So God has granted repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles!”

Then as John was completing his life’s work, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the One. But look! Someone is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on His feet.’

Then Paul and Barnabas boldly said: “It was necessary that God’s message be spoken to you first. But since you reject it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles!

When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the message of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed.

The God who made the world and everything in it—He is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in shrines made by hands.

Neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives everyone life and breath and all things.

From one man He has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live.

For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

But Paul went down, fell on him, embraced him, and said, “Don’t be alarmed, for his life is in him!”

But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.

They listened to him up to this word. Then they raised their voices, shouting, “Wipe this person off the earth—it’s a disgrace for him to live!”

Paul looked intently at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience until this day.”

Then Festus said: “King Agrippa and all men present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish community has appealed to me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he should not live any longer.

“All the Jews know my way of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem.

When the local people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “This man is probably a murderer, and though he has escaped the sea, Justice does not allow him to live!”

For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

eternal life to those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality;

in God’s sight. As it is written: I have made you the father of many nations. He believed in God, who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.

This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!

Since by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.

so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,

But now, since you have been liberated from sin and have become enslaved to God, you have your fruit, which results in sanctification—and the end is eternal life!

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life

and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me.

because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.

Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.

So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh,

for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.

Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
Can affliction or anguish or persecution
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

For I am persuaded that not even death or life,
angels or rulers,
things present or things to come, hostile powers,

height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: The one who does these things will live by them.

Lord, they have killed Your prophets
and torn down Your altars.
I am the only one left,
and they are trying to take my life!

For if their rejection brings reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.

Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor.

If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone.

Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

The commandments:

Do not commit adultery;
do not murder;
do not steal;
do not covet;

and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Christ died and came to life for this: that He might rule over both the dead and the living.

For it is written:

As I live, says the Lord,
every knee will bow to Me,
and every tongue will give praise to God.

For if your brother is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy that one Christ died for by what you eat.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join with me in fervent prayers to God on my behalf.

who risked their own necks for my life. Not only do I thank them, but so do all the Gentile churches.

But as it is written:

What eye did not see and ear did not hear,
and what never entered the human mind—
God prepared this for those who love Him.

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come—everything is yours,

What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

Don’t you know that we will judge angels—not to mention ordinary matters?

So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those who have no standing in the church to judge?

But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not leave her.

Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not leave her husband.

However, each one must live his life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called him. This is what I command in all the churches.
