By whom

so he said to them again, "Truly, truly I tell you, I am the shepherd of the sheep;

Jesus said to him, "I am the real and living way: no one comes to the Father except by means of me.

On their arrival they gathered the church together and reported how God had been with them, what he had done, and how he had opened a door into faith for the Gentiles.

for it is through him that we both enjoy our access to the Father in one Spirit.

through whom, as we have faith in him, we enjoy our confidence of free access.

Brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy Presence in virtue of the blood of Jesus,

Christ himself died for sins, once for all, a just man for unjust men, that he might bring us near to God; in the flesh he was put to death but he came to life in the Spirit.

And rejoice

We were saved with this hope in view. Now when an object of hope is seen, there is no further need to hope. Who ever hopes for what he sees already?

let your hope be a joy to you; be stedfast in trouble, attend to prayer,

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in your faith, that you may be overflowing with hope by the power of the holy Spirit!

And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope,

so that by these two solid facts (the Promise and the Oath), where it is impossible for God to be false, we refugees might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a life of hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

'Born of him!' Think what a love the Father has for us, in letting us be called 'children of God!' That is what we are. The world does not recognize us? That is simply because it did not recognize him.

The glory

eternal life to those who by patiently doing good aim at glory, honour, and immortality,

All have sinned, all come short of the glory of God,

and if children, heirs as well, heirs of God, heirs along with Christ ??for we share his sufferings in order to share his glory.

His master said to him, 'Capital, you excellent and trusty servant! You have been trusty in charge of a small sum: I will put you in charge of a large sum. Come and share your master's feast.'

Truly, truly I tell you, he who listens to my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life; he will incur no sentence of judgment, he has already passed from death across to life.

But we all mirror the glory of the Lord with face unveiled, and so we are being transformed into the same likeness as himself, passing from one glory to another ??for this comes of the Lord the Spirit.

The slight trouble of the passing hour results in a solid glory past all comparison,

'The conqueror I will allow to sit beside me on my throne, as I myself have conquered and sat down beside my Father on his throne.'

And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, crying, "Lo, God's dwelling-place is with men, with men will he dwell; they shall be his people, and God will himself be with them:

they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
