John 10
| Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that entereth not by the door into the
sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and a robber. |
| But he that entereth in by
the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| To him the porter openeth;
and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his
own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. |
| And when he putteth forth
his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him: for they know his voice. |
| And a stranger will they
not follow, but will flee from him: for they
know not the voice of strangers. |
| This parable spake Jesus
unto them: but they understood not what things
they were which he spake unto them. |
| Then said Jesus unto them
again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the
door of the sheep. |
| All that ever came before
me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did
not hear them. |
| I am the door: by me if any
man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in
and out, and find pasture. |
| The thief cometh not, but
for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly. |
| I am the good shepherd: the
good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. |
John 10:1-11 |
II Corinthians 9
| But this I say, He which
soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and
he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully. |
| Every man according as he
purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not
grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a
cheerful giver. |
| And God is able to make all
grace abound toward you; that ye, always having
all sufficiency in all things, may abound to
every good work: |
| (As it is written, He hath
dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his
righteousness remaineth for ever. |
| Now he that ministereth
seed to the sower both minister bread for your
food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase
the fruits of your righteousness;) |
| Being enriched in every
thing to all bountifulness, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to God. |
2 Corinthians 9:6-11 |
Ephesians 3
| Now unto him that is able
to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask
or think, according to the power that worketh in
us, |
Ephesians 3:20 |
Philippians 4
| Be careful for nothing; but
in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known
unto God. |
| And the peace of God, which
passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. |
| Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things. |
| Those things, which ye have
both learned, and received, and heard, and seen
in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with
you. |
| But I rejoiced in the Lord
greatly, that now at the last your care of me
hath flourished again; wherein ye were also
careful, but ye lacked opportunity. |
| Not that I speak in respect
of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state
I am, therewith to be content. |
| I know both how to be
abased, and I know how to abound: every where
and in all things I am instructed both to be
full and to be hungry, both to abound and to
suffer need. |
| I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me. |
| Notwithstanding ye have
well done, that ye did communicate with my
affliction. |
| Now ye Philippians know
also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when
I departed from Macedonia, no church
communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only. |
| For even in Thessalonica ye
sent once and again unto my necessity. |
| Not because I desire a
gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your
account. |
| But I have all, and abound:
I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the
things which were sent from you, an odour of a
sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable,
wellpleasing to God. |
| But my God shall supply all
your need according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus. |
| Now unto God and our Father
be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
Philippians 4:6-20 |
II Peter 1
| Simon Peter, a servant and
an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have
obtained like precious faith with us through the
righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ: |
| Grace and peace be
multiplied unto you through the knowledge of
God, and of Jesus our Lord, |
| According as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: |
| Whereby are given unto us
exceeding great and precious promises: that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust. |
| And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to
virtue knowledge; |
| And to knowledge
temperance; and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness; |
| And to godliness brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. |
| For if these things be in
you, and abound, they make you that ye shall
neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| But he that lacketh these
things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and
hath forgotten that he was purged from his old
sins. |
| Wherefore the rather,
brethren, give diligence to make your calling
and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye
shall never fall: |
| For so an entrance shall be
ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. |
2 Peter 1:1-11 |
