" And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his son.  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  These things I have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
