- I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.
- The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
- I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
- I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one.
To those who by patiently doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
