¹⁴ And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

⁴² And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

¹⁰ And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

²⁶ When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;

²⁷ And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

¹⁴ And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

⁹ If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

¹ My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:

² He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

¹ That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

² (And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us);

³ We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

¹² I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it.

⁵ And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

⁴⁷ And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

³⁶ Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

³⁹ You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

³⁶ But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

³⁴ For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

³² He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

¹¹ Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

²⁹ The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
