Wisdom 3:1-9
(1) But the souls of the just are in the hand of God and no torment of death will touch them (2) In the eyes of the foolish, they seemed to die, and their departure was considered an affliction (3) and their going away from us, a banishment. Yet they are in peace (4) And though, in the sight of men, they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality (5) Troubled in few things, in many things they will be well compensated, because God has tested them and found them worthy of himself (6) Like gold in the furnace, he has proved them, and as a holocaust victim, he has received them, and in the time of their visitatio (7) they will shine, and they will dash about like sparks among stubble (8) They will judge the nations and they will rule over the people, and their Lord will reign forever (9) Those who trust in him, will understand the truth, and those who are faithful in love will rest in him, because grace and peace is for his elect
Psalms 23:1-6
(1) For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it (2) For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers (3) Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place (4) The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor (5) He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour (6) This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob
John 6:37-40
(37) All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out (38) For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me (39) Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day (40) So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
