Church » Christ's love for
Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any thing of the kind, but that it should be holy and blameless. read more.
Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church; for we are members of his body. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery; but I speak of Christ and the church.

I tell you most truly, he that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs in at some other place, he is a thief and robber; but he that enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

When he puts out all his sheep he goes before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spoke Jesus to them, but they knew not what the words which he spoke to them meant. Then said Jesus to them again, I tell you most truly, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep have not heard them. I am the door; by me if any one enters in he shall be saved, and go in and out, and find pasturage. The thief comes not, except 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 gives his life for the sheep. But the hired servant, and one who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf seizes and scatters them; for he is a hired servant and cares not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.

Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have a right to lay it down, and I have a right to take it again; this commandment have I received from my Father. There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words; and many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?

I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; and them I must lead, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
