Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him. - 10 For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. - 11 And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out. - 38 For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. - 39 Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day. - 40 So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of John 6](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/6/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
