For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice.
For the Son of man came to seek and save that which was lost.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
