Psalm 73:24–28
73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
73:24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory. 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You. 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 73:27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You. 73:28 But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.

17:21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 17:22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one- 17:23 I in them and You in Me-that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
