Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
