- He must increase;
I must decrease. - If you love me,
you will keep my commandments. - Therefore, we love because he first loved us.
- Dear children,
keep away from idols. - I will not leave you orphans;
I will come to you. - Therefore, if the Son sets you free,
you then will truly be free. - Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
and rightly so,
for that is what I am. - This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - You have already been cleansed
by the word I have spoken to you. - Everyone who sins breaks the law,
for sin is lawlessness. - If the world hates you,
be aware that it hated me
before it hated you. - Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, it will be enough for us.”
- Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You place your trust in God.
Trust also in me. - Whoever feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood
dwells in me and I dwell in him. - The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has been unable to overcome it. - What then if you were to behold the Son of Man
ascend to where he was before? - God is Spirit,
and those who worship him
must worship in Spirit and truth. - Jesus answered them,
“My teaching is not my own;
rather, it comes from him who sent me.” - No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends. - In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. - Nothing gives me greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
- What is born of the flesh is flesh,
and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. - Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth.
Jesus replied,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
everyone who sins
is a slave of sin.”Not because of any righteous deeds on our part
but because of his mercy,
he saved us through the bath of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.”Next verse!With image
