18 The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
He who has faith and is given baptism will get salvation; but he who has not faith will be judged.
For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.
Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.
