⁸ Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:

¹⁴ And let our `people' also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

⁵ But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

² `O my soul', thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.

³ As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.

¹¹ And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹² He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

¹³ These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, `even' unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.

⁹ holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.

¹² For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.

²⁸ A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.

⁷ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?

⁸ Thy wickedness `may hurt' a man as thou art; And thy righteousness `may profit' a son of man.

² Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

²¹ who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
