¹⁴ I am the good shepherd; and ^(A)I know My sheep, and ^(B)am known by My own.

^27 (A)My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

^2 (A)“I know your works, your labor, your ^[a]patience, and that you cannot ^[b]bear those who are evil. And ^(B)you have tested those ^(C)who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

²⁰ And we know that the ^(A)Son of God has come and ^(B)has given us an understanding, ^(C)that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ^(D)This is the true God ^(E)and eternal life.

¹⁹ Nevertheless ^(A)the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord ^(B)knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of ^[a]Christ depart from iniquity.”
