And, as I continue to read..............people have strayed far from the intent of the OP, but that's no big surprise. They have gone directly into Theological Ideology of certain churches/groups...........
The sole intent of the OP was to focus on the ONE WORD "believeth," and it's various uses/meanings in the original text. Not to justify any Theological Ideology, or disprove any..............
From what you have Brother Hizikyah, the only way I see to have the words of Jesus agree in John and Matthew is by the usage of believeth as meaning "to continue in/never stopping."
But that's just me.............
Thank you for your efforts...............and sorry to have caught you up in argumentative ideology........
God bless
