Jesus answered, “Yes, I am. But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man {\cf2\super [418]} sitting at the right side of God. And you will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Jesus answered, “Yes, I am the Son of God. And in the future you will see the Son of Man {\cf2\super [219]} sitting at the right side of the Great One (God). And you will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.”
The Word {\cf2\super [5]} became a man and lived among us. We saw his glory—the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father. The Word was full of grace (kindness) and truth.
If a person wants to do what God wants, then that person will know that my teaching comes from God. That person will know that this teaching is not my own.
Jesus answered, “Yes, I am saying these things about myself. But people can believe these things I say. Why? Because I know where I came from. And I know where I am going. But you don’t know where I came from or where I am going.
Before God and Christ Jesus I give you a command. Christ Jesus is the One that confessed that same great truth when he stood before Pontius Pilate. {\cf2\super [33]} And God is the One that gives life to everything. Now I tell you:
Now you have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. Now you can have true love for your brothers and sisters. So love each other deeply—with all your heart.
Why do I write to you? Do I write because you don’t know the truth? No! I write this letter because you do know the truth. And you know that no lie comes from the truth.
We know that we have left death (sin) and have come into life. We know this because we love our brothers and sisters \{in Christ\}. The person who does not love is still in death.
But we are from God. So the people who know God listen to us. But the people who are not from God don’t listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit {\cf2\super [16]} that is true and the spirit that is false.
