Wisdom 3:1-9
1 But the souls of the
righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them. 2 In
the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for
misery, 3 And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in
peace. 4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope
full of immortality. 5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be
greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for Himself. 6 As
gold in the furnace has he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering. 7
And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like
sparks among the stubble. 8 They shall judge the nations, and have dominion
over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. 9 They that put their
trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall
abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he has care for his
elect.
John 10:9-16
9 I am the door: by me
if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture. 10 The thief comes 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. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the
sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep
are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf
catches them, and scatters the sheep. 13 The hireling flees, because he is an
hireling, and cares not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my
sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the
Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and
there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Many Blessings.
In Christ,
