John 10:1-10
(KJV)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door
is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To
him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by
name, and leadeth them out. 4 And
when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for
they know his voice. 5 And a stranger
will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they
understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door
of the sheep. 8 All that ever came
before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and
out, and find pasture. 10 The thief
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Luke 13:23-30
(KJV)
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved?
And he said unto them, 24 Strive to
enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall
not be able. 25 When once the master
of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to
knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you,
I know you not whence ye are: 26 Then
shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in
our streets. 27 But he shall say, I
tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth,
when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of
God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the
south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which
shall be last.
Revelation
3:14-22 (KJV)
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation
of God; 15 I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee
out of my mouth. 17 Because thou
sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not
that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that
the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou
mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
