“Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.”
'Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.' — the contrast between perishable (apolollumai, perishing) and eternal food reorients desire from physical to spiritual nourishment. The seal (sphragizo) marks the Father's authentication of the Son.
