¶ In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea
and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in the heavens.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens.
And ye shall be hated by everyone for my name, but he that shall persevere unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death unto life.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of my hand.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, for the times of refreshing of the presence of the Lord are come;
¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of the Christ; for it is the power of God to give saving health to every one that believes: to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?
¶ Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ,
For the wages of sin is death, but the grace of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto saving health.
For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God,
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Therefore be not thou ashamed to give testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel by the power of God,
who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the ages,
¶ Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Christ, who according to his great mercy has begotten us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, from the dead,
unto the incorruptible inheritance that cannot be defiled and that does not fade away, conserved in the heavens for you,
who are kept in the virtue of God by faith, to attain unto the saving health which is made ready to be manifested in the last time.
¶ The Lord is not late concerning his promise, as some count lateness, but is patient with us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.
These things I have written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
