For though I preach the gospel, I have no cause for boasting; for a necessity is laid upon me; yes, alas for me, if I preach not the gospel.

preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.

In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you with myself, that where I am, you may be also.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all that he gives me, I shall lose nothing, but shall raise it up at the last day.
