Moreover, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen what he looks like,

You search through the Scriptures [i.e., the Old Testament], because you think that you will [learn how to] have never ending life by [reading] them. And these Scriptures are what testify concerning me.

But you do not want to come to me [i.e., to believe in me. See verse 38] so that you will have [never ending] life.

How can you believe, you who are always accepting honor from one another, but never seek the honor that comes from the one God?

Do not work for the [kind of] food that spoils, but for the kind that lasts until never ending life. The Son of man will give you this [kind of food], for God the Father has placed His seal [of approval] on Him."

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

All that My Father gives Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, never reject anyone who follows Me].

And this is what [else] my Father wants: That every person who sees the Son [i.e., with the eye of faith] and believes in Him should have never ending life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day."

Truly, truly, I tell you, the person who believes [in me] has never ending life. [See note on 5:24].

This is the Bread that comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread who came down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. Yes, and the bread that I will give [him] is my physical body, [so] that the world can have [never ending] life."

The person who eats my physical body and drinks my blood has never ending life [See note on 5:24], and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day [i.e., the judgment day].

Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, who [else] could we go to? You have the message about never ending life.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up.

But when they continued asking Him [about the woman], He stood up and said to them, "That person among you who has never sinned should be the first one to throw a stone at her."

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Then Jesus again said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die under the curse of your sins; for where I am going you can never come."

Then the Jews began to say, "He is not going to kill Himself, is He? Is that why He said, 'Where I am going you can never come'?"

Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone, because I always do what pleases him."

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

But right now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that He has learned from God. Abraham never did that.

You belong to your father the Devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood for truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

You’ve never known Him, but I know Him. If I were to say I don’t know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

We know that God never listens to bad men, but, when a man is god-fearing and does God's will, God listens to him.

Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

"The thief never comes except to steal and kill and destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it in abundance.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Many came to Him and said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest.

The person who loves his [earthly] life will [eventually] lose it [forever], but the person who hates his life in this world will retain never ending life.

For I have never spoken on My own initiative or authority, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment regarding what to say and what to speak.

And I know that [obeying] His commandments [leads to] never ending life. So, the things which I say are what the Father has told me [to say]."

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

They will do this, because they have never come to know God nor me.

Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

Just as you gave Him authority over all mankind, He will give never ending life to all those people [Note: The Greek word here is neuter gender, "all those things"] you have given Him.

And this is never ending life; that people may know you [as] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One whom you have sent.

“O just and righteous Father, although the world has not known You and has never acknowledged You [and the revelation of Your mercy], yet I have always known You; and these [believers] know [without any doubt] that You sent Me;

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world; I always taught in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the Jews assemble. I have never said anything in secret.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the marks of the nails, and put my finger into the nail prints, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed [in Me].”

But these [signs] are written down so that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that when you believe [this], you will have [never ending] life in His name [i.e., through His person and work].

Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?"

[Then, at the hands of the Roman authorities] you killed the Prince of [never ending] life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we [apostles] were [reliable] witnesses of it.

But to keep it from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them never again to speak to anyone in this name."

but if it has its origin in God, you can never stop it. It is to be feared that you may find yourselves fighting God."

And so the Council agreed [with Gamaliel's advice] and when they called the apostles back in, they had them beaten and ordered them never to speak in the name of Jesus [again]; then they released them.

And every single day, in the temple [area] and in homes, they did not stop teaching and telling the good news of Jesus as the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

They presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and the Law [of Moses];

But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

So, when the apostles and the brothers from Judea heard these things, they stopped arguing [See verse 2] and gave honor to God, saying, "[This means] that God has permitted the Gentiles also [as well as the Jews] to repent [i.e., change their hearts and lives] so they, too, could have [the promise of never ending] life."

and said, “You [Elymas] who are full of every [kind of] deceit, and every [kind of] fraud, you son of the devil, enemy of everything that is right and good, will you never stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord?

Since He raised Him from the dead, never to return to decay, He has spoken in this way, I will grant you the faithful covenant blessings made to David.

But Jesus, whom God raised up [from the dead], never did decay.

and that by him everyone who believes is absolved from all that the law of Moses never could absolve you from.

‘Look, you mockers, and marvel, and perish and vanish away;
For I am doing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, even if someone describes it to you [telling you about it in detail].’”

But Paul and Barnabas [continued to] speak out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the message of God be delivered to you [Jews] first. But since you have rejected it and [thereby] consider yourselves to be unworthy of [receiving] never ending life, we [i.e., Paul and Barnabas] will now begin proclaiming it to the [unconverted] Gentiles.

And when the Gentiles heard this they were glad and gave honor to the message of God [i.e., they accepted it as true]. And all those who were appointed [by God] to receive never ending life [through faith and obedience] became believers.

And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

so that they might look for God, somehow reach for him, and find him. Of course, he is never far from any one of us.

And the Lord said to Paul in a vision by night, "Have no fear, speak on and never stop,

He asked them, "Did [any of] you receive the [indwelling] Holy Spirit when you became believers [in Jesus]?" They answered him, "No, we have never [even] heard that there was a Holy Spirit."

and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,

For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose and plan of God.

Therefore be continually alert, remembering that for three years, night or day, I did not stop admonishing and advising each one [of you] with tears.

"Now I commit you [elders] to God and to the message of His unearned favor which can build you up [spiritually] and provide you with the inheritance [of never ending life], along with others who are [specially] set apart [for God].

I never desired anyone's silver, gold, or clothes.

grieving most of all over his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.

They never found me debating with anyone in the Temple or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or throughout the city,

to open their eyes [to the truth] so they will turn from darkness to light and from the power [i.e., the influence] of Satan to God. [Then] they can receive the forgiveness of sins and the inheritance [of never ending life], along with [all] those who are set apart [for God] by trusting in Me.'

To this day I have had the help of God in standing, as I now do, to testify alike to low and high, never uttering a single syllable beyond what the prophets and Moses predicted was to take place.

namely, that the Christ must suffer and be the first to rise from the dead [i.e., never to die again] and then proclaim the light [of the Gospel] to the [Jewish] people and to the Gentiles."

saying, 'Go to this people and say, "{You will keep on hearing} and will never understand, and {you will keep on seeing} and will never perceive.

For this people's minds have become stupid, and their ears can barely hear, and they have shut their eyes so that they may never see with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn and let me heal them."'

As God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in spreading the good news of his Son, I never fail to mention you when I pray,

To the ones who continue doing what is good and who look for glory, honor and immortal life [God will give] never ending life.

Now the practice of circumcision [i.e., the Jewish rite of identity, signifying the responsibility to observe the law of Moses] is worthwhile, providing you obey [the rest of] the law of Moses. But if you disobey the law, you might as well have never been circumcised.

May it never be! But let God be true but every human being a liar, just as it is written, "In order that you may be justified in your words, and may prevail when you are judged."

May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

Therefore, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be! But we uphold the law.

Blessed [is] the person against whom the Lord will never count sin."

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.

His faith never quailed, even when he noted the utter impotence of his own body (for he was about a hundred years old) or the impotence of Sara's womb;

and yet he never staggered in doubt at the promise of God but grew powerful in faith, because he gave the glory to God

endurance produces character, and character produces hope ??5 a hope which never disappoints us, since God's love floods our hearts through the holy Spirit which has been given to us.

Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Sin was indeed in the world before the Law, but sin is never counted in the absence of law.

For if [physical] death ruled [over mankind] because of the sin of the one man [i.e., Adam], how much more will those who receive the abundance of God's unearned favor, and the gift of being right with Him, rule in [never ending] life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

This was so that just as sin ruled [over mankind], causing [physical] death, even so God's unearned favor would rule [over mankind], providing [them with] righteousness, and leading to never ending life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

because we know [the self-evident truth] that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him.
