9:28	Og han var med dem, ind og ud af Jerusalem, og handler trofast i Herrens navn.

First Letter of John 3: 18-24

3:18	My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth.
3:19	På denne måde, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight.
3:20	For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
3:21	Mest elskede, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God;
3:22	and whatever we shall request of him, we shall receive from him. For we keep his commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
3:23	And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Kristus, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
3:24	And those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And we know that he abides in us by this: ved Ånden, whom he has given to us.

John 15: 1- 8

15:1	“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
15:2	Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth more fruit.
15:3	You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.
15:4	Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide in me.
15:5	I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, og jeg i ham, bears much fruit. For without me, you are able to do nothing.
15:6	If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.
15:7	If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
15:8	Heri, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

Handlinger 13: 44- 52

13:44	Men virkelig, på den følgende sabbat, næsten hele byen kom sammen for at høre Guds ord.
13:45	Så jøderne, at se folkemængderne, var fyldt med misundelse, og de, blasfemi, modsagde de ting, som blev sagt af Paulus.
13:46	Så sagde Paulus og Barnabas bestemt: ”Det var nødvendigt først at tale Guds ord til dig. Men fordi du afviser det, og bedøm derfor jer selv uværdige til evigt liv, se, vi vender os til hedningerne.
13:47	For således har Herren befalet os: ’Jeg har sat dig som et lys for hedningerne, så du kan bringe frelse til jordens ende.’”
13:48	Derefter hedningerne, ved at høre dette, var glade, og de herliggjorde Herrens ord. Og så mange som troede var forudbestemt til evigt liv.
13:49	Nu blev Herrens ord udbredt i hele området.
13:50	Men jøderne opildnede nogle fromme og ærlige kvinder, og byens ledere. Og de opildnede en forfølgelse mod Paulus og Barnabas. Og de drev dem væk fra deres dele.
13:51	Men de, ryste støvet af deres fødder mod dem, gik videre til Iconium.
13:52	Disciplene blev ligeledes fyldt med glæde og af Helligånden.

John 14: 7- 14

14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, "Herre, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, siger jeg til dig, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

13:26	Ædle brødre, sønner af Abrahams slægt, og dem iblandt jer, som frygter Gud, det er til dig, at Ordet om denne frelse er blevet sendt.
13:27	For dem, der boede i Jerusalem, og dens herskere, agter hverken på ham, heller ikke profeternes stemmer, der læses hver sabbat, opfyldte disse ved at dømme ham.
13:28	Og skønt de ikke fandt nogen dødssag mod ham, de anmodede Pilatus, for at de kunne slå ham ihjel.
13:29	Og da de havde opfyldt alt, hvad der var skrevet om ham, tager ham ned fra træet, de lagde ham i en grav.
