"If a man says, I love God, and still hates his brother, he is a liar. Because how can he who does not loves his brother, whom he has seen, love God, whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from him, That he who loves God should love his brother, too.
Whoever believes that Jesus is Christ is born from God. And everyone who loves him who gave birth to him, love who was born from him, too. In this we know that we love the children of God: When we love God and keep his commandments.
This is the love of God: That we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous. For whatever is born from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith."
- 1 John 4:20-5:4 in the Abbott ePublishing T21 Version
Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he sees the Father do. Because whatever he does, that, the Son does, too. Because the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things he, himself does.
And he will show him greater works than these, because you should be amazed. Because in the same way as the Father raises up the dead, and gives life to them, even so, the Son gives life to whom he will. Neither does the Father judge any man, but has committed all judgment to the Son, Because all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent him.
Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has everlasting life, and will not come into damnation, but has escaped from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you,
The time will come, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who hear will live. Because as the Father has life in himself, so in the same way has he given to the Son to have life in himself, and has given him power to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be amazed by this, because the hour will come in the which all who are in the graves will hear his voice, And will come out, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation."
John 5:19-29 (AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels)
"Then he came to a city of Samaria, Sychar, beside the possession that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And there was Jacob's well. Jesus, then wearied by his journey, sat on the well. And it was about the sixth hour. And there, a woman of Samaria came to draw water. And Jesus said to her, Give me a drink. (Because his disciples had gone away to the town to buy food.)
Then the woman of Samaria said to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan? (Because the Jews do not meddle with the Samaritans.) Jesus answered to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who said to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given the water of life. The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep, from where, then, have you water of life? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, and his children, and his cattle?
Jesus answered, Whoever drinks this water will thirst again, But whoever will drink of the water that I will give him will never more be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
- John 4:5-14 AeP Tyndale21 Version
"If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me. But if I do, though you do not believe me, believe the works, so you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him."
- John 10:37-38 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version
"And there were in the same region shepherds who stayed in the field to keep watch over their flock at night. And, Look, the angel of the Lord was standing next to them, and the brightness of the Lord shined all around them, and they were very afraid. And the angel said to them, Do not be afraid, because Look, I bring you good news of great joy, which will come to all people.
For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this as a sign: You will find the child wrapped and laid in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a plethora of heavenly soldiers praising God, and saying, Glory to God on high and peace on earth, and to men, rejoicing.
And it happened that as soon as the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing has happened which the Lord has shown to us."
- Luke 2:8-15 (AeP T21 version)
Then Jesus said to them, Only a little while the light is with you. Walk while
you have the light, in case darkness comes over you. He who walks in darkness
knows not where he goes. While you have light,
believe in the light, so you may be the children of light. These things Jesus
said, and left, and hid himself from them.
John 12:35-36 (AeP T21 Version of the Gospels)
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For whoever asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it will be opened. Is there any man among you who, if his son asks him for bread, would offer him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he gives him a snake?”
