John 10:28–30I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.1 Kings 2:26Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”Hebrews 12:1–3Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.John 18:9This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”John 15:20Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.John 17:12While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.Matthew 24:9Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.Esther 7:4For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”John 16:2–3They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
