1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, in the hope of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.
Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,
This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.
And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life. I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.
And this is the hope which he gave you, even eternal life.
Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue; And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.
Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.
For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.
That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.
And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.
