Grass dies and wildflowers fall.\par But the word of our God continues forever.”\par
I tell you the truth. Nothing will disappear from the law until heaven and earth are gone. The law will not lose even the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter until all has happened.
Even the smallest part of a letter in the law cannot be changed. It would be easier for heaven and earth to pass away.
Before the world began, the Word {\cf2\super [1]} was there. The Word was there with God. The Word was God.
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.
I decided that while I was with you I would forget about everything except Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.
Christ came and preached peace to you people (non-Jews) who were far away \{from God\}. And he preached peace to the people (Jews) who were near \{to God\}.
I am the least important of all of God’s people. But God gave me this gift—to tell the non-Jewish people the Good News about the riches Christ has. Those riches are too great to understand fully.
At the right time God let the world know about that life. God did this through the telling of the \{Good News\} message. {\cf2\super [2]} And he trusted me with that work. I told people that message because God our Savior commanded me to.
It was shown to those prophets that their service was not for themselves. The prophets were serving you. They were serving you when they told about the things that you have heard. You heard those things from the men who told you the Good News. {\cf2\super [6]} They told you with the help of the Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [7]} that was sent from heaven. The things you were told are things that even the angels want very much to know about.
You have been born again. This new life did not come from something that dies. It came from something that cannot die. You were born again through God’s living message {\cf2\super [11]} that continues forever.
Be like babies that are newly born. Be hungry for the pure milk (teaching) that feeds your spirit. By drinking that you can grow up and be saved.
This makes us more sure about the things the prophets {\cf2\super [2]} said. And it is good for you to follow closely what the prophets said. The things they said are like a light shining in a dark place. You have that light until the day begins and the morning star brings new light to your minds.
We tell you now about something that has existed (lived) since before the world began:
Now we tell you the things that we have seen and heard. Why? Because we want you to have fellowship {\cf2\super [1]} together with us. The fellowship we share together is with God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ.
Then I saw another angel flying high in the air. The angel had the eternal Good News {\cf2\super [100]} to announce to the people that live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and race of people.
