The sheep follow him, for they know his voice.See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.The solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His.” § We have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God.Then you...

And they who know Thy Name will put their trust in Thee" (Ps. 9:10).
