One Flock, One Shepherd

“I have come that they may have zoe life and may have it abundantly. I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down His psuche life for the sheep. And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must lead them also, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one Shepherd.” John 10:10b-11, 16

“He laid down His psuche life on our behalf, and we ought to lay down our psuche lives on behalf of the brothers.” 1 John 3:16
