The Father loves his Son and has put everything in his power.

Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to.

so that all will honor the Son in the same way as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees,

but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one through whom God created the universe, the one whom God has chosen to possess all things at the end.

and made them rulers over all things." It says that God made them "rulers over all things"; this clearly includes everything. We do not, however, see human beings ruling over all things now.

But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered.

who has gone to heaven and is at the right side of God, ruling over all angels and heavenly authorities and powers.

"Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made.

Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day.

Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.

I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die;

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Your real life is Christ and when he appears, then you too will appear with him and share his glory!

but God was merciful to me in order that Christ Jesus might show his full patience in dealing with me, the worst of sinners, as an example for all those who would later believe in him and receive eternal life.

When this life became visible, we saw it; so we speak of it and tell you about the eternal life which was with the Father and was made known to us.

And this is what Christ himself promised to give us---eternal life.

We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we know the true God. We live in union with the true God---in union with his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and this is eternal life.

and keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life.

Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,

What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father's care.
