1 John 2:1

I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—

And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;

For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still.

Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
