Truly I tell you, heaven and earth will disappear before the smallest letter disappears from the Law. Not even the smallest mark of a pen will disappear until everything the Law says happens.
The Word of life was here from the beginning. We’ve heard him, we’ve seen him with our eyes, we’ve looked at him, and our hands have touched him. So we want to tell you about him.
We can also rely completely on the message of the prophets. It’s important for you to pay attention to it. That message is like a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
The Word became human and made his home with us. We have seen his glory the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
You’ve been born again through the living word of God, which lasts forever. You haven’t been born again from a seed that will die, but from one that can’t die.
The prophets were shown that they weren’t serving themselves. Instead, they were serving you when they spoke about the things that you’ve now heard from those who preached the good news to you with the help of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
Then I saw another angel flying high in the air. He came to announce the never-ending good news to everyone on earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and race.
