We have

Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things,

For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:

Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

The power

And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.

But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

Coming

But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.

See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.

Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.

And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
