soul, and why dost thou trouble me?
Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.[1]
God so loved the world as to give his only-begotten Son; that whosoever believes in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
But if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just: and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
Amen, amen, I say to you, he that hears my word, and believes him that sent me, has everlasting life, and comes not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.
All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me, I will not cast out. Amen, amen, I say to you. He that believes in me has everlasting life.
I am the Resurrection and the Life; he that believes in me, although he be dead, shall live; and every one that lives and believes in me, shall not die for ever.[2]
If God be for us, who is
against us? He that spared
not even his own Son, but
delivered him up for us all,
how has he not also with
him given us all things?
Who shall lay anything to
the charge of the Elect of
God? God who justifies.
Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus, who
died, yea, who rose also
again, who is at the right
hand of God, who also makes
intercession for us.[3]
None of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself. For whether we live, we live to the Lord; or whether we die, we die to the Lord; therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
For we know that if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed over with our habitation that is from heaven, yet so that we may be found clothed, not naked.
Now shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. To be with Christ is by much the better.[4]
