Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give to you the kingdom.

And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of My Father's hand.

When I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. [Those] whom You have given Me I guarded; and not one of them is lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Who is he that condemns? Christ is the [One] having died, but rather also having been raised, who is even at [the] right [hand] of God, who also intercedes on our behalf.

Just as it is written: "For Your sake we are put to death the whole day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter."

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who by the power of God [are] being guarded through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and they may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

"For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

He shall tend His flock as a shepherd, and He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and He shall soothe them that are with young.

Awake, O sword, against My shepherds, and against the man who is My citizen, says the Lord Almighty; strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring My hand upon the little ones.

So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, [son] of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I care for You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs."

And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for the sake of whom Christ died?

Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will by no means eat meat, lest I cause my brother to stumble.

Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed.

The Lord does not delay concerning His promise, as some reckon slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
