1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 From the very beginning the Word was with God. 3 Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.

14 The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son.

9 For the full content of divine nature lives in Christ, in his humanity,

9 For the full content of divine nature lives in Christ, in his humanity, 10 and you have been given full life in union with him. He is supreme over every spiritual ruler and authority.

5 The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:

6 He always had the nature of God,

but he did not think that by force he should try to remain* equal with God.

7 Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had,

and took the nature of a servant.

He became like a human being

and appeared in human likeness.

5 The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:

15 "What about you?" he asked them. "Who do you say I am?"

16 *Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

17 "Good for you, Simon son of John!" answered Jesus. "For this truth did not come to you from any human being, but it was given to you directly by my Father in heaven.

23 *"A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us").

54 When the army officer and the soldiers with him who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and everything else that happened, they were terrified and said, "He really was the Son of God!"

61 But Jesus kept quiet and would not say a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed God?"

62 *"I am," answered Jesus, "and you will all see the Son of Man seated at the right side of the Almighty and coming with the clouds of heaven!"

6 "Don’t be alarmed," he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here—he has been raised! Look, here is the place where he was placed.

21 After all the people had been baptized, Jesus also was baptized. While he was praying, heaven was opened, 22 *and the Holy Spirit came down upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you."

58 "I am telling you the truth," Jesus replied. "Before Abraham was born, ‘I Am’."

13 *But Moses replied, "When I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ So what can I tell them?"

14 *God said, "I am who I am. You must tell them: ‘The one who is called I AM* has sent me to you.’

30 The Father and I are one."

17 Jesus answered them, "My Father is always working, and I too must work."

18 *This saying made the Jewish authorities all the more determined to kill him; not only had he broken the Sabbath law, but he had said that God was his own Father and in this way had made himself equal with God.

18 *This saying made the Jewish authorities all the more determined to kill him; not only had he broken the Sabbath law, but he had said that God was his own Father and in this way had made himself equal with God.

21 Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to. 22 Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge, 23 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.

25 I am telling you the truth: the time is coming—the time has already come—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life.

6 *Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.

9 Jesus answered, "For a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Why, then, do you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe, Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoken to you," Jesus said to his disciples, "do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me, does his own work.

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

40 Jesus said to her, "Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believed?"

12 Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us."

36 As they traveled down the road, they came to a place where there was some water, and the official said, "Here is some water. What is to keep me from being baptized?"*

38 The official ordered the carriage to stop, and both Philip and the official went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

3 *He reflects the brightness of God’s glory and is the exact likeness of God’s own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.

4 The Son was made greater than the angels, just as the name that God gave him is greater than theirs.

14 Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of God. 15 Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin.

2 Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God’s throne.

17 This means that he had to become like his people in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, so that the people’s sins would be forgiven.

4 *"But he endured the suffering that should have been ours,

the pain that we should have borne.

All the while we thought that his suffering

was punishment sent by God.

5 *But because of our sins he was wounded,

beaten because of the evil we did.

We are healed by the punishment he suffered,

made whole by the blows he received.

6 A child is born to us!

A son is given to us!

And he will be our ruler.

He will be called, "Wonderful* Counselor,"

"Mighty God," "Eternal Father,"

"Prince of Peace."

15 If we declare that Jesus is the Son of God, we live in union with God and God lives in union with us.

15 If we declare that Jesus is the Son of God, we live in union with God and God lives in union with us.

9 And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him. 10 This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.

9 And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.

8 Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.

5 Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

11 *The testimony is this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

9 If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved.

20 so that it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me.

19 And with all his abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs.

15 The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful.

10 God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.

2 *Your life must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and gave his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God.

4 *We have many parts in the one body, and all these parts have different functions. 5 In the same way, though we are many, we are one body in union with Christ, and we are all joined to each other as different parts of one body.

57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

15 But have reverence for Christ in your hearts, and honor him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you,

5 For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,

11 *Then I saw heaven open, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True; it is with justice that he judges and fights his battles. 12 *His eyes were like a flame of fire, and he wore many crowns on his head. He had a name written on him, but no one except himself knows what it is. 13 *The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is "The Word of God." 14 The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and dressed in clean white linen. 15 *Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will trample out the wine in the wine press of the furious anger of the Almighty God. 16 On his robe and on his thigh was written the name: "King of kings and Lord of lords."

21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.*

27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands; then reach out your hand and put it in my side. Stop your doubting, and believe!"

28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

30 In his disciples' presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book. 31 But these have been written in order that you may believe* that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life.

12 *My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.

20 *I am telling you the truth: whoever receives anyone I send receives me also; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me."

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me. 29 *What my Father has given me is greater* than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father’s care. 30 The Father and I are one."

16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.

18 Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.

38 *Those who do not take up their cross and follow in my steps are not fit to be my disciples.

20 For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them."

27 Jesus looked straight at them and answered, "This is impossible for human beings but not for God; everything is possible for God."

27 Jesus answered, "What is humanly impossible is possible for God."

25 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
