18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
Most assuredly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
