15 that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.
And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.
because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus `as' Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same `Lord' is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

In this chapter we have,
Jhn 3:1-21
