Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”Therefore they said to Him,“ What are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?”Jesus answered and said to them,“ This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
