So his parents replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

do you say about the one whom the Father set apart<n id="1" /> and sent into the world, &#8216;You are blaspheming,&#8217; because I said, &#8216;I am the Son of God&#8217;?

I knew that you always listen to me,<n id="1" /> but I said this<n id="2" /> for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.&#8221;

(Now Judas<n id="1" /> said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box,<n id="2" /> he used to steal what was put into it.)<n id="3" />

Because Jesus<n id="1" /> knew that the Father had handed all things over to him,<n id="2" /> and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.<n id="1" />

Now we know that you know everything<n id="1" /> and do not need anyone<n id="2" /> to ask you anything.<n id="3" /> Because of this<n id="4" /> we believe that you have come from God.&#8221;p>

But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus<n id="1" /> from the dead, never<n id="2" /> again to be<n id="3" /> in a state of decay, God<n id="4" /> has spoken in this way: &#8216;<b><i>I will give youi>b><n id="5" /> <b><i>the holy and trustworthy promisesi>b><n id="6" /> <b><i>made to Davidi>b>.&#8217;<n id="7" />

Paul replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I did not realize,<n id="2" /> brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, &#8216;<b><i>You must not speak evil about a ruler of your peoplei>b>.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">With regard then to eating food sacrificed to idols, we know that &#8220;an idol in this world is nothing,&#8221; and that &#8220;there is no God but one.&#8221;<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead,<n id="1" /> how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?

For <b><i>he has put everything in subjection under his feeti>b>.<n id="1" /> But when it says &#8220;everything&#8221; has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him.

Now I rejoice, not because you were made sad,<n id="1" /> but because you were made sad to the point of repentance. For you were made sad as God intended,<n id="2" /> so that you were not harmed<n id="3" /> in any way by us.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time,<n id="1" /> saying, &#8220;<b><i>All the nationsi>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>will be blessed in youi>b><sc>.&#8221;sc><n id="3" />

Instead someone testified somewhere:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<b><i>What is man that you think of himi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>or the son of man that you care for him?i>b>p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists<n id="1" /> have appeared. We know from this that it is the last hour.

We know that<n id="1" /> we have crossed over<n id="2" /> from death to life<n id="3" /> because<n id="4" /> we love our fellow Christians.<n id="5" /> The one who does not love remains in death.<n id="6" />

that<n id="1" /> if our conscience condemns<n id="2" /> us, that<n id="3" /> God is greater than our conscience and knows all things.

By this<n id="1" /> we know that we reside in God<n id="2" /> and he in us: in that he has given us of his Spirit.<n id="3" />

And if we know<n id="1" /> that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
