John 6:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 [a]Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath (A)God the Father [b]sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the [c]works of God?
29 [d]Jesus answered, and said unto them, (B)[e]This is the work of God, that ye believe in him, whom he hath sent.
