39 Bible Verses about Universalism

For God sent not His Son into the world that He may condemn the world; but that the world through Him may be saved.

Jesus spoke all of these things to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He was not speaking to them: in order that the word spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables: I will make known the things which have been hidden from the foundation. Then leaving the multitudes, He came into the house: and His disciples came to Him saying; Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. And He responding said, The one sowing the good seed is the Son of man; and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the wicked one, and the enemy sowing them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are the angels. Then as the tares are gathered and burnt up with fire; so it will be in the end of the age. The Son of man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. But let the one having ears, hear.

So it will be in the end of the age: the angels will go forth, and will separate the wicked from the midst of the righteous,

He that loveth father and mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

If thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

And the young man hearing the word, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say unto you, that a rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of the heavens. And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God. And the disciples hearing, were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then is able to be saved? And Jesus looking on them said; With men this is impossible; but all things are possible with God. Then Peter responding said to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed Thee; what then shall be to us? And Jesus said to them, Truly I say unto you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man may sit upon the throne of His glory, you shall also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and inherit eternal life.

Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk about as you have the light, in order that the darkness may not overtake you: and he that walketh about in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may be the sons of light. And Jesus spoke these things, and having gone out was hidden from them. And He having done so many miracles in their presence, they were not believing on Him, in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

Isaiah said these things, because he saw His glory; and spoke concerning Him.

On account of this I endure all things for the sake of the elect, in order that they may also have the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying: For if we die along with him, we will also live with him: if we endure, we will truly reign with him: if we shall deny him, he will also deny us:

And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there were many waters there: and they came and baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison. And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying.

The one coming from heaven witnesses what He has seen and heard, and no one receives His testimony. The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true. For whom God sent speaketh the words of God: for He does not give His spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands. He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

But the works of carnality are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, debauchery, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, divisions, heresies, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

then indeed will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will remove by the spirit of his mouth, and will exterminate by the brightness of his coming; whose coming is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved.read more.

And with whom was he provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not? And we see that they were not able to enter in on account of their unbelief.

Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short. For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing. For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age, indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, assembled to make war with the one sitting on the horse, and with his army. And the beast, and the false prophet along with him, who wrought miracles in his presence, by which he deceived those having received the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image; and the two were cast alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

and the devil, the one deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also, and they shall be tormented day and night unto the ages of the ages. And I saw a great white throne, and him sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.read more.
And the sea gave up the dead who are in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged each according to their works.

But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and the murderers, and the fornicators, and the sorcerers, and the idolaters, and all liars, shall be their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and harlots, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one doing and loving falsehood.
