You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

Tell Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it."

You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.

that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.

Unrebukeable

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

Until

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
