²⁵ Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

²¹ But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.

¹ Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.

⁵⁵ You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

¹³ although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

⁴ in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

⁵ For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

⁶ seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁸ which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.

³ This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²² Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
