- 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.”Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. Finally, all of you should be united in spirit, sympathetic, filled with love for one another, compassionate, and humble.Next verse!With image
