³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

¹⁶ Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.

¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words unto my taste! `Yea, sweeter' than honey to my mouth!

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

¹⁰ And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but `they went out', that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
