Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting 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, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

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

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

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

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

In whom 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, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

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

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
