⁷ So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. ⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters by me, ^(B)he will be saved and will go in and out and ^(C)find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and ^(D)kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. ^11 (E)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd ^(F)lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² He who is ^(G)a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and ^(H)leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and ^(I)scatters them. ¹³ He flees because ^(J)he is a hired hand and ^(K)cares nothing for the sheep. ^14 (L)I am the good shepherd. ^(M)I know my own and ^(N)my own know me, ^15 (O)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and ^(P)I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And ^(Q)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. ^(R)I must bring them also, and ^(S)they will listen to my voice. So there will be ^(T)one flock, ^(U)one shepherd.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and ^(A)knock. ^(B)If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, ^(C)I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

²⁵ For ^(A)you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to ^(B)the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

⁵ Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. ^(A)Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that ^(B)Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

⁶ But ^(A)he gives more grace. Therefore it says, ^(B)“God opposes the proud but ^(C)gives grace to the humble.” ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. ^(D)Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ^8 (E)Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. ^(F)Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and ^(G)purify your hearts, ^(H)you double-minded.
