²⁷ for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

²² if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

¹⁵ When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, `son' of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.'

¹⁶ He saith to him again, a second time, `Simon, `son' of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Tend my sheep.'

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, `Simon, `son' of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep;

²³ I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

⁴² Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

³⁰ now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

²⁵ `Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

²⁶ and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

¹⁴ for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,

¹⁹ we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

³⁷ `He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

⁹ lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but do lie; lo, I will make them that they may come and bow before thy feet, and may know that I loved thee.

²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ -- undecayingly! Amen.

²⁹ and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'

⁷ now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

³ for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

⁴⁷ The first man `is' out of the earth, earthy; the second man `is' the Lord out of heaven;

⁴ and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

¹⁵ stedfast `is' the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

⁶ for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

²⁰ And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying,

²¹ yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ -- to life age-during;

¹⁷ Jehovah thy God `is' in thy midst, A mighty one doth save, He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He joyeth over thee with singing.'
