¹² I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

¹⁶ But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.

¹⁰³ How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

⁶⁶ Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away?

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

⁶⁹ And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

³² But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

²² Be pleased to take teaching from his mouth, and let his words be stored up in your heart.

²² Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?

¹²⁷ For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.

¹¹ I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.

⁹ The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.

¹⁰ So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.

¹⁹ They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

² Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;

³⁸ But the upright man will be living by his faith; and if he goes back, my soul will have no pleasure in him.

³⁹ But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.
