¹⁷ But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

¹⁸ For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

²⁰ I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

⁹ And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

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.

¹¹ My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

³ Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

⁴ Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

⁵ To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

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.

⁶ For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.

¹⁵ Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

¹³ Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

¹⁴ And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

¹⁵ He says to them, But who do you say that I am?

¹⁶ And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁷ And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

²¹ In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

²² The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

²³ So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

²⁴ Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

⁴ But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

⁵ That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

⁷ So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

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.

¹⁶ And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;

¹⁷ And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

²⁵ Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

²⁶ For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

²⁷ And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

¹⁸ No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

⁸ The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

¹² To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

¹³ Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.

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.

¹⁰ For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;
