Selected passages from John
Passages from this book that have been reviewed as reading clearly on their own.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
