1 Jn 5:3-5
----
And He said to them, “Go into all the world nand preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 oHe who believes and is baptized will be saved; pbut he who
does not believe will be condemned.
Mk 16:15-16
4Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms
of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this
authority I will give You, and their glory; for fthis has been delivered to
me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before
me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, 5“Get behind Me, Satan! 6For it is
written, g‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’
”
Lk 4:5-8
“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an
anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and
your Father yknows that you need these things. 31 zBut seek 6the kingdom
of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
Lk 12:29-31
nThat 2was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the
world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and othe world
did not know Him. 11 pHe came to His 3own, and His 4own did not receive
Him. "Jn 1:9-11
6 pFor God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten qSon, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 rFor
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved.
18 s“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is
condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten
Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, tthat the light has come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were
evil. 20 For ueveryone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to
the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth
comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been
vdone in God.” Jn 3:16-21
2 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, i“I am the light of the world. He
who jfollows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, k“You bear witness o Jn
8:12-13
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, w“He who believes in Me, xbelieves not
in Me ybut in Him who sent Me. 45 And zhe who sees Me sees Him who sent
Me. 46 aI have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me
should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not
7believe, bI do not judge him; for cI did not come to judge the world but
to save the world.
8 w“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
19 xIf you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet ybecause
you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world
hates you. 20 Remember the word that..." Jn 15:18-20
6 k“I have 3manifested Your name to the men lwhom You have given Me out
of the world. mThey were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your
word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from
You. 8 For I have given to them the words nwhich You have given Me; and they
have received them, oand have known surely that I came forth from You; and
they have believed that pYou sent Me.
9 “I pray for them. qI do not pray for the world but for those whom You have
given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and rYours are
Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 sNow I am no longer in the world, but
these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, tkeep 4through Your
name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one uas We are. 12 While
I was with them 5in the world, vI kept them in 6Your name. Those whom You
gave Me I have kept; and wnone of them is 7lost xexcept the son of
8perdition, ythat the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to
You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled
in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; zand the world has hated them
because they are not of the world, ajust as I am not of the world. 15 I do
not pray that You should take them out of the world, but bthat You should keep
them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the
world. 17 cSanctify 9them by Your truth. dYour word is truth. 18 eAs
You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And
ffor their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the
truth." Jn 17:6-19
