¹⁵ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

³⁴ Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!

⁵ For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.

⁶ There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

²⁶ Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

² Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.

³ And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

²³ For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁴ For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

³ You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

²⁰ And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
