„But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people destined for possession, to proclaim the glorious deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his admirable light. Once you were not even a people, and now you are God’s people; you who have not achieved mercy have now achieved mercy.“ (1 Pt 2,7-10)

„Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love him.“ (1Cor 2,9)

„There are many dwellings in my Father’s house. If it wasn’t for that, would I have told you that I was going to prepare a place for you?! When I leave and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself so that you too can be where I am. And you know the way I’m going.“ (Jn 14,2-4)

„Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God! Verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth not the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter into it.“ (Lk 18,16-17)

„Verily, I say unto you, There is none that for the kingdom of God shall leave house or wife or brothers or parents or children, lest he receive much more in this time and in the age to come eternal life.“ (Lk 18,29-30)

„And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. After all, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not judged. But whoever does not believe is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.“ (Jn 3,14-18)

„He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him. As the living Father sent me and I live from the Father, even he who is me will live from me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, and not what the fathers ate and died. Whoever this bread is will live forever.“ (Jn 6,54-58)

„And eternal life is in knowing you, the only true God, and the one you sent, Jesus Christ.“ (Jn 17.3)

„Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, to see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the creation of the world.“ (Jn 17,24)

„Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come. Consider: If the householder knew at what hour of the night the thief would come, he would surely be awake and would not allow him to enter his house. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man will come at an hour of which you do not know. Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom the master has appointed over his family to give them food in due time? Blessed is the servant whom the master finds doing so upon his arrival. Verily, I say unto you, He shall appoint him over all his possessions. But if the evil servant said in his heart: „My master does not go“ in any way and starts beating his fellow servants, eating and drinking with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on the day, when he least expects it, and at an hour he does not think, he will separate him and give him a portion among the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“ (Mt 24,42-51)

„Then the kingdom of heaven will resemble ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were unreasonable and five were wise. Unreasonable, they took their lamps, but they did not take the oil with them. Wisely, they also took oil in containers with lamps. When the groom was not coming, everyone started to doze off and fell asleep. At midnight, a scream broke out: „The groom is coming, meet him!“ All the virgins woke up and were preparing their lamps. Here the foolish virgins said to the wise: „ Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.“ But the wise replied: „ So that maybe neither we nor you are short, go to the sellers and buy!“ But while they were going to buy oil, the groom came and those who were ready entered the wedding with him and the door closed. Finally, the other virgins also came and said: „Lord, Lord, open to us!“ But he said to them: „Veru, I say to you: I don’t know you.“  Therefore watch, because you know neither the day nor the hour.“ (Mt 25,1-13)

„For you are saved by grace through faith; and it is not of you, it is God’s gift: not of works, so that no one should stand. After all, we are his work, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared for us to do.“ (Ef 2,8-10)

„He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that not a single murderer has eternal life in him“ (1Jn 3,14-15)

„For the wage of sin is death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.“ (Rom 6,23)

„For life has appeared and we have seen, testify and proclaim to you eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us.“ (1Jn 1,2)

„He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow; there will be no more lamentation or pain, for the first has passed away“ (Rev. 21,4)

„ Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him and led them into solitude as a high murderer. There, he was transformed before them: his face shone like the sun, and his clothes turned white like light. Then Moses and Elijah appeared to them and talked with them. Then Peter said to Jesus: „Lord, we are well here. If you want, I will make three booths here: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.“ While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: „ This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him.“ When the disciples heard this, they were afraid and fell on their faces. But Jesus approached them, touched them, and said to them: „ Get up and don’t be scared!“ And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus. As they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them: „ Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man rises from the dead.“ (Mt 17,1-9)

„ However, their mother is unusually rare and worthy of admiration, as well as a famous monument. After all, she saw seven of her sons die in a single day! But she endured it evenly because her mind was strengthened by hope in the Lord. Filled with a noble mindset, she encouraged each of them in their mother tongue. She strengthened her female mind with male courage and said to them: „ I do not know how you rose in my womb; I gave you neither breath nor life; I didn’t even arrange the members of the artist to create each of you. Therefore, the Creator of the world, who causes man to arise and makes the being of all things, will again give you breath and life out of his mercy, as you do not value yourself now because of his laws.“ (2Mach 7,20-23)

„He was a specific rich person. He dressed in purple and linen and feasted sumptuously day by day. At his gate lay a kind of beggar named Lazarus, full of ulcers. He longed to be satisfied with what was falling from the rich man’s table, and only the dogs came and licked his sores. When the beggar died, the angels carried him to Abraham’s womb. The rich man also died and was buried. And when he lifted up his eyes in hell in torment, he saw Abraham and Lazarus in his bosom from afar. And he exclaimed: „Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, let him at least dip the end of his finger in water and moisten my tongue, because I am troubled in this flame!“ But Abraham said: „Son, remember that you received all the good in your lifetime and Lazarus only the bad. Now he’s happy here, and you’re worried. And besides, there is a significant gap between us and you so that no one – what they would like – can cross from here to you or cross from there to us.“ He said, “I beg you, Father, send him to my father’s house. For I have five brothers; let him swear to them so that they, too, do not get to this place of torment.“ Abraham answered him: „ They have Moses, and let the Prophets listen to them.“ But he said: „No, Father Abraham. If someone from the dead comes to them, they will repent.“ He answered him. If they don’t listen to Moses and don’t believe the Prophets, even if someone rises from the dead.“ (Lk 16, 19-31)

„ When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, he will sit on the throne of his glory. Then all the nations will gather before him, and he will separate one from the other, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He builds sheep on the right and goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right: „ Come, blessed of my Father, occupy the kingdom that has been prepared for you since the world’s creation. For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a traveler, and you snuggled me; I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.“ Then the righteous will say to him: „Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you as a traveler, snuggle or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?“ The king will answer them: „Veru, I say to you: Whatever you did to one of my least brothers, you did to me.“ Then he will also say to those who will be from the left: „ Depart from me, cursed, into the eternal fire that is prepared for the devil and his angels! For I was hungry, and you did not give me food; I was thirsty, and you did not give me drink; I was a traveler, and you did not snuggle me; I was naked, and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.“ Then they also will say to him: „Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a traveler or naked or sick or in prison and not serve you?“ Then he will answer them: „Veru, I say to you: Whatever you did not do to one of the least of these, you did not do to me.“ And these will go into eternal torment, while the righteous into eternal life.“ (Mt 25, 31-46)
