As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. … Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass. – As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.
God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. – And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. – It is like the precious ointment upon the head, … even Aaron’s … that went down to the skirts of his garments.

Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. – If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? – He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
