I will give unto Him that is thirsting from the fountain of the water of life freely."[125] He that overcometh shall possess these things, and their inheritance; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."[168] He who shall overcome shall possess these things, and their inheritance; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."[783]
