27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his ^kseal.”

16 You did not choose me, but ^mI chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
