Know well the state of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds:

For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
