You know that I love you.” Jesus said,“ Take care of my sheep.”Jesus spoke to him a third time.

It is the name you gave me. Keep them safe so they can be one, just as you and I are one.

Be watchful and control yourselves. Your enemy the devil is like a roaring lion. He prowls around looking for someone to swallow up.Stand up to him. Remain strong in what you believe.

So you will only have to suffer for a little while. Then God himself will build you up again. He will make you strong and steady. And he has chosen you to share in his eternal glory because you belong to Christ.

1 Timothy 1 13-1 Timothy 1 16
I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn’t a believer.Our Lord poured out more and more of his grace on me. Along with it came faith and love from Christ Jesus.Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.But for that very reason, God showed me mercy. And I am the worst of sinners. He showed me mercy so that Christ Jesus could show that he is very patient. I was an example for those who would come to believe in him. Then they would receive eternal life.

When I kept silent about my sin, my body became weak because I groaned all day long.Day and night you punished me. I became weaker and weaker as I do in the heat of summer.Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn’t cover up the wrong I had done. I said,“ I will admit my lawless acts to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.Let everyone who is faithful pray to you while they can still look to you. When troubles come like a flood, they certainly won’t reach those who are faithful.
