You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form; and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not. You search the Scriptures, because you think by them to have eternal life; and they testify of me; and you will not come to me that you may have life. I receive not glory from men, but I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not; if another comes in his own name, him will you receive. How can you believe, receiving glory one from another, and the glory from God alone you seek not? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me. But if you believe not his writings, how will you believe my words?
For as the Father has life in himself, so has he also given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he is the Son of man. Wonder not at this; for the hour comes in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice and shall come forth; those that have done good to a resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to a resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of him that sent me. If I testify of myself my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. You sent to John, and he testified to the truth; but I receive not testimony from a man; but I say these things that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining light, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. But I have greater testimony than John's; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father has sent me; and the Father who sent me, he has testified of me. You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form; and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not. You search the Scriptures, because you think by them to have eternal life; and they testify of me; and you will not come to me that you may have life. I receive not glory from men, but I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not; if another comes in his own name, him will you receive.

The light was the true [light] which lights every man that comes into the world. He was in the world, and the world existed through him, and the world knew him not.

And the Word became flesh and tabernacled with us and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only child with a father, full of grace and truth. John testified of him, and cried, saying, This is the one of whom I said, He that comes after me existed before me, for he was before me. For we all have received of his fullness, and grace for grace; for the law was given by Moses, the grace and truth were by Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he declared [him].

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on it is called faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. And his eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; he has a name written that no man knows except himself, and he is clothed in a mantle dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God. read more.
And the armies of heaven follow him upon white horses, clothed with fine white clean linen. And out of his mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he shall tread the wine-press of the indignant wrath of God Almighty.

SIMEON Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

For if these are in you and abound, they will make you not inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; for a man that is without these is blind, not seeing to a distance, and has forgotten the purification from his former errors. Wherefore, brothers, use the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things you shall never fall. For thus shall you have an abundant entrance given you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not neglect always to remind you of these things, although you have known them, and have been established in the present truth. I think it right as long as I am in this tabernacle, to excite you by remembrance, knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is at hand, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. But I will also be diligent and especially that you may be able to make mention of these things after my departure. For we did not follow skilfully constructed myths in making known to you the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye witnesses of his majesty.
