I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: See, the virgin will conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel.

Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless.

Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
