John 6:50-51 "This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
LIFE OF THE WORLD
51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

world, that he gave his only begotten Son, ...."

commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us."

that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,"
1 John 4:10-11 "Herein is love,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son
to be the propitiation [APPEASE a conciliatory offering to God]
for our sins. 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought
also to love one another."

Psalms 145:16 "Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing."
26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27. That they should seek the Lord [GOD], if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28. For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."
Psalms 19:1-3 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament showeth his handiwork. 2. Day unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night showeth knowledge. 3. There is no speech nor
language, where their voice is not heard." Romans 10:18 "But I
say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and
their words unto the ends of the world."
Romans 1:19-23 "Because that which
may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it
unto them. 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even
his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not
as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. 22. Professing themselves to
be wise, they became fools, 23. And changed the glory of
the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things."
John 10:10 "The thief cometh not,
but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
34. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light."

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed."
