Peace be with you. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one!

Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the Word delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Friend of God; that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.

The beginning of the everlasting Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God (which is, being interpreted, Jesus Anointed, the Son of God).  

 

The beginning of the everlasting Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God (which is being interpreted: Jesus Anointed the Son of God).  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.  

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us); that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we write these things to you that our joy may be fulfilled.

For God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain of transfiguration. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses. But grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son who is in the bosom of the Father has declared him.

Without controversy the core mystery of truly godly religion is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him. He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him. But as many as received him, to them he gave the power to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man but of God.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. Therefore, as for you let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

“This is eternal life, that they should know you the only true God and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness justice and righteousness in the earth; for I delight in these things” says the LORD.

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up in the sight of all, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed that they have been done in God.

He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What he has seen and heard, of that, he testifies; and no one receives his witness. He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of his Father in heaven.

God will pay back to everyone according to their works: to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath indignation oppression and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. But glory honor and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. For there is no partiality with God.

Jesus said “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent”: “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?” Belief by itself, if it has no works, is dead. You say you believe in God. Even the demons believe — and they shudder. As a body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so belief without works is dead. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. And he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. But Jesus said to them “As the Father has sent me, even so I send you. Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” He said, “My Teaching is not mine but his who sent me. If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the Teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.” And he said “If a man loves me he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

“Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot endure to hear my word. Whoever is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.”  

Amen! Yes, come Lord Jesus.  

Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.

As it is written in the prophets “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you: the voice of one crying in the wilderness ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’ ” there came a man sent from God whose name was John. The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
