For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16 Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. John 6:53 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. Mark 10:9

And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Mathew 22:39 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. For-give, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is useless. 1 Cor 15:14
