My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one can snatch them out of my hand.
My Parent, who has given them to me, is greater than all;
no one can snatch them out of my Parent’s hand. I and the Parent are one.
(John 10:27-30, NIV)
