Visdom 3: 1-9

3:1	But the souls of the just are in the hand of God and no torment of death will touch them.
3:2	In the eyes of the foolish, they seemed to die, and their departure was considered an affliction,
3:3	and their going away from us, a banishment. Yet they are in peace.
3:4	And though, in the sight of men, they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality.
3:5	Troubled in few things, in many things they will be well compensated, because God has tested them and found them worthy of himself.
3:6	Like gold in the furnace, he has proved them, and as a holocaust victim, he has received them, and in the time of their visitation
3:7	they will shine, and they will dash about like sparks among stubble.
3:8	They will judge the nations and they will rule over the people, and their Lord will reign forever.
3:9	Those who trust in him, will understand the truth, and those who are faithful in love will rest in him, because grace and peace is for his elect.

Letter of Romans 5: 5-11

5:5	men hoppet är inte ogrundat, därför att Guds kärlek är utgjuten i våra hjärtan genom den helige Ande, som har givits till oss.
5:6	Men varför gjorde Kristus, medan vi fortfarande var sjuka, vid rätt tidpunkt, lida döden för de ogudaktiga?
5:7	Nu kanske någon knappt är villig att dö för rättvisans skull, till exempel, kanske kan någon våga dö för en god mans skull.
5:8	Men Gud visar sin kärlek till oss i det, medan vi ännu var syndare, vid rätt tidpunkt,
5:9	Kristus dog för oss. Därför, efter att ha blivit rättfärdigad nu av hans blod, så mycket mer ska vi bli räddade från vreden genom honom.
5:10	Ty om vi blivit försonade med Gud genom hans Sons död, medan vi fortfarande var fiender, desto mer, efter att ha försonats, skall vi räddas av hans liv.
5:11	Och inte bara det, men vi ärar också i Gud genom vår Herre Jesus Kristus, genom vilken vi nu fått försoning.

John 6:37-40

6:37	All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
6:38	For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
6:39	Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
6:40	Dåså, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
