And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgement, but hath passed out of death into life.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Being therefore justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
not of works, that no man should glory.
Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;
who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And this is the promise which he promised us, even the life eternal.
These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.
