Jhn 13:19 Now 575 737 I tell 3004 you 5213 before 4253 it come 1096 ,
that 2443, when 3752 it is come to pass 1096 , ye may believe 4100 that
3754 I 1473 am 1510 [he].
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhn 14:1 Let 5015 0 not 3361 your 5216 heart 2588 be troubled 5015 : ye
believe 4100 in 1519 God 2316, believe 4100 also 2532 in 1519 me 1691.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhn 14:10 Believest thou 4100 not 3756 that 3754 I 1473 am 2076 in 1722
the Father 3962, and 2532 the Father 3962 in 1722 me 1698? the words
4487 that 3739 I 1473 speak 2980 unto you 5213 I speak 2980 not 3756 of
575 myself 1683: but 1161 the Father 3962 that dwelleth 3306 in 1722 me
1698, he 846 doeth 4160 the works 2041.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhn 14:11 Believe 4100 me 3427 that 3754 I 1473 [am] in 1722 the Father
3962, and 2532 the Father 3962 in 1722 me 1698: or else 1490 believe
4100 me 3427 for 1223 the very 846 0 works 2041' sake 846.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhn 14:12 Verily 281, verily 281, I say 3004 unto you 5213, He that
believeth 4100 on 1519 me 1691, the works 2041 that 3739 I 1473 do 4160
shall he do 4160 also 2548; and 2532 greater [works] than 3187 these
5130 shall he do 4160 ; because 3754 I 1473 go 4198 unto 4314 my 3450
Father 3962.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhn 14:29 And 2532 now 3568 I have told 2046 you 5213 before 4250 it
come to pass 1096 , that 2443, when 3752 it is come to pass 1096 , ye
might believe 4100 .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jhn 16:9 Of 4012 sin 266, 3303 because 3754 they believe 4100 not 3756
on 1
