My son, cease to hear correction, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.

Therefore we need to more abundantly heed the things we have heard, so that they do not slip our minds.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

By covetousness they will exploit you with well-turned words; whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever gauge you measure, it will be measured back to you.

Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must lead, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

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