³⁹ And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day.

¹² During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me.^[a] I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold.

⁴⁰ For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”

⁵⁴ But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.

⁹ He did this to fulfill his own statement: “I did not lose a single one of those you have given me.”^[a]

⁴⁴ For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.

Greetings from Jude

¹ This letter is from Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James.

I am writing to all who have been called by God the Father, who loves you and keeps you safe in the care of Jesus Christ.^[a]

²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, ²⁹ for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else.^[a] No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. ³⁰ The Father and I are one.”

³⁷ However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.

³ For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ And when Christ, who is your^[a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
