I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
