"And the second is like, namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself." Mark 12:28-34 in the AeP T21 Version

"And one of the Scribes came who had heard them disputing together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Oh, Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your understanding, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

And the Scribe said to him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he, And to love him with all the heart,and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any questions."

"These things I write to you, so you do not sin." 1 John 2:1-6 (AeP Tyndale21 Version

"My little children, these things I write to you, so you do not sin. If any man sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous, And it is he who obtains grace for our sins, and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of all the world. And by this we are sure that we know him: if we keep his commandments. He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Whoever keeps his word, in him is the love of God perfected in deed. And by that, we know that we are in him. He who said he lives in him ought to walk just as he walked."

Scripture: John 1:19-24 in the AeP T21 Version "I am the voice of a crier in the desert"

"And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? And he confessed, and did not deny, but said plainly, I am not Christ. And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you a prophet? And he answered, No. Then they said to him, Who are you, so we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? He said, I am the voice of a crier in the desert, Make straight the road of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. And those who were sent were from the Pharisees."

Matthew 6:14-18 (AeP T21 Version) "Because if you do not forgive the sins of others..."


"Because if you will forgive the sins of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, But if you do not forgive the sins of others, your Father will no longer forgive your sins. Further, when you fast, do not be sad as the hypocrites are, because they disfigure their faces, so they may be seen by others to be fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; So that you do not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly."

Matthew 6:14-18 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels.

John 15:4-8 (AeP T21 version) "Live in me, and let me live in you"

"Live in me, and let me live in you. As the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, unless it lives in the vine, no more can you, unless you live in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, will produce much fruit. Because without me, you can do nothing. If a man does not live in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and withers, and men gather it, and throw it into the fire, and it burns. If you live in me, and my words live in you, you will ask what you wish, and it will be done to you. In this, my Father is glorified - that you produce much fruit and be my disciples."

John 14:15-21 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version "If you love me, keep my commandments."

"If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter, so he may remain with you forever, Who is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because the world does not see him nor knows him. But you know him, because he lives with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you comfortless, but will come to you. In a little while, the world will see me no more, but you see me. Because I live, you will live, too. On that day, you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He who has my commandments, and keeps them, that is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will show myself to him."

John 17:11b-19 in the AeP T21 Version "Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me..."

"Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, so they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so the scripture might be fulfilled. Now I come to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them your words, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not desire that you would take them out of the world, but that you keep them from evil. They are not from the world, just as I am not from the world. Sanctify them through your truth. Your words are truth. As you sent me into the world, I have also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so they also might be sanctified through the truth."
- John 17:11b-19
