John vi. 37–40.-“ All that the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and
him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from
heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this
is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I
should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this
is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and be.
lieveth on him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last
day.”
