in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,

in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began

This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God— who does not lie— promised them before the world began.

in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,

in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,

in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;

in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the ages began.

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

God has saved us. He has chosen us to live a holy life. It wasn’t because of anything we have done. It was because of his own purpose and grace. Through Christ Jesus, God gave us this grace even before time began.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am an apostle of Christ Jesus just as God planned. He sent me to tell about the promise of life found in Christ Jesus.

So God gave his word when he made his promise. He wanted to make it very clear that his purpose does not change. He wanted those who would receive what was promised to know this.When God made his promise, he gave his word. He did this so we would have good reason not to give up. Instead, we have run to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope is set before us in God’s promise. So God made his promise and gave his word. These two things can’t change. He couldn’t lie about them.

God isn’t a mere human. He can’t lie. He isn’t a human being. He doesn’t change his mind. He speaks, and then he acts. He makes a promise, and then he keeps it.

Here is what God says about the Son. God has given us eternal life. And this life is found in his Son.Whoever belongs to the Son has life. Whoever doesn’t belong to the Son of God doesn’t have life.I’m writing these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God. I’m writing so you will know that you have eternal life.

Even if we are not faithful, he remains faithful. He must be true to himself.

His grace made us right with God. So now we have received the hope of eternal life as God’s children.

That’s how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in his glory. He is our great God and Savior.

The God who is the Glory of Israel does not lie. He doesn’t change his mind. That’s because he isn’t a mere human being. If he were, he might change his mind.”

So I put up with everything for the good of God’s chosen people. Then they also can be saved. Christ Jesus saves them. He gives them glory that will last forever.

And by doing these things, remain in God’s love as you wait. You are waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

Do what is good. Set an example for them in everything. When you teach, be honest and serious.

We also know that the Son of God has come. He has given us understanding. So we can know the God who is true. And we belong to the true God by belonging to his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Do your best to please God. Be a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed. Teach the message of truth correctly.

Then everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.

“ Then they will go away to be punished forever. But those who have done what is right will receive eternal life.”

Anyone who eats my body and drinks my blood has eternal life. I will raise them up on the last day.

Dear friends, now we are children of God. He still hasn’t let us know what we will be. But we know that when Christ appears, we will be like him. That’s because we will see him as he really is.Christ is pure. All who hope to be like him make themselves pure.

Simon Peter answered him,“ Lord, who can we go to? You have the words of eternal life.

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth and a living hope. This hope is living because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you.

In this way, they will store up true riches for themselves. It will provide a firm basis for the next life. Then they will take hold of the life that really is life.

The Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets also forced us to leave. They do not please God. They are enemies of everyone.

They will receive 100 times as much in this world. They will have homes and families and fields. But they will also be treated badly by others. In the world to come they will live forever.

You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him.

God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.

“ Then the King will speak to those on his right. He will say,‘ My Father has blessed you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared for you since the world was created.

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him. He fell on his knees before Jesus.“ Good teacher,” he said,“ what must I do to receive eternal life?”

Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory.

God has chosen to make known to them the glorious riches of that mystery. He has made it known among the Gentiles. And here is what it is. Christ is in you. He is your hope of glory.

But we belong to the day. So let us control ourselves. Let us put on our chest the armor of faith and love. Let us put on the hope of salvation like a helmet.

You study the Scriptures carefully. You study them because you think they will give you eternal life. The Scriptures you study are a witness about me.

“ Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory you have given me. You gave it to me because you loved me before the world was created.

Many people who live on the earth will worship the beast. They are the ones whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life. The Lamb is the one whose death was planned before the world was created.

The Lord does things that have been known from long ago.

May God receive glory. He is able to strengthen your faith. He does this in keeping with the good news and the message I preach. It is the message about Jesus Christ. This message is in keeping with the mystery hidden for a very long time.

Fight the good fight along with all other believers. Take hold of eternal life. You were chosen for it when you openly told others what you believe. Many witnesses heard you.

The beast that you saw used to exist and now does not. Yet it will come up out of the Abyss and be destroyed. Some people on the earth will be amazed when they see the beast. Their names have not been written in the book of life from the time the world was created. They will be amazed at the beast. That’s because it will come again even though it used to exist and now does not.

When you sin, the pay you get is death. But God gives you the gift of eternal life. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.

I was formed a long, long time ago. I was formed at the very beginning, when the world was created.Before there were any oceans, I was born. It was before there were springs flowing with water.Before the mountains were settled in place, I was born. Before there were any hills, I was born.It happened before the Lord made the world and its fields. It was before he made the dust of the earth.I was there when he set the heavens in place. When he marked out the place where the sky meets the sea, I was there.That was when he put the clouds above. It was when he fixed the ocean springs in place.It was when he set limits for the sea so that the waters had to obey his command. When the Lord marked out the foundations of the earth, I was there.I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day. I was always happy to be with him.His whole world filled me with joy. I took delight in all human beings.

He promised the good news long ago. He announced it through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures.

The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope.

I give them eternal life, and they will never die. No one will steal them out of my hand.

Sin ruled and brought death. But grace rules in the lives of those who are right with God. The grace of God brings eternal life. That’s because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done.

He was chosen before God created the world. But he came into the world for your sake in these last days.Because of what Christ has done, you believe in God. It was God who raised him from the dead. And it was God who gave him glory. So your faith and hope are in God.You have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. So you have an honest and true love for each other. So love one another deeply, from your hearts.You have been born again by means of the living word of God. His word lasts forever. You were not born again from a seed that will die. You were born from a seed that can’t die.
