John 12:26

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
