Truly, truly, I say to you, A servant is not greater than his master; nor is the messenger greater than the one sending him.

If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Remember the Word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My Word, they will keep yours also.

But why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, separated to the gospel of God

For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

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

Jesus said to him, If I intend for him to remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.

But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his seed shall possess it.

Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me,

Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

And when He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Then He said to them all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with the image of You.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together at the same time with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Therefore encourage one another with these words.

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and make Myself known to him.

Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.
