“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” “He that hath received His testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” {TM 486.1}

»Thi således elskede Gud verden, at han gav sin Søn den enbårne, for at enhver, som tror på ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have evigt liv.« »Men den, der tager imod hans vidnesbyrd, har dermed beseglet, at Gud er sandru. Thi den, Gud udsendte, taler Guds ord; Gud giver jo ikke Ånden efter mål. Faderen elsker Sønnen, og alt har han givet i hans hånd. Den, som tror på Sønnen, har evigt liv; den, som ikke lyder Sønnen, skal ikke se livet, men Guds vrede bliver over ham.«
