Who can find a worthy wife?
She is far more precious than pearls.Whoever believes in me,
as Scripture has said,
‘Streams of living water
shall flow from within him.’ I give them eternal life,
and they will never perish.
No one will ever snatch them from my hand.
My Father who has given them to me
is greater than all,
and no one can snatch them
out of the Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one.Next verse!With image
