Blessed

and gives the expectation of eternal life, which the God of veracity promised so many ages ago;

that being justified by his favour, we should have the inheritance of eternal life, according to our hopes.

I have the same expectations from the DEITY, which they themselves entertain, that of the resurrection both of the just and of the unjust.

now hope will not deceive us, because the love of God is diffused thro' our hearts, by the holy spirit which is given to us;

for we are saved but by hope: but hope supposes things not yet present; for how can a man hope for what he has now in possession?

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope through the power of the holy spirit.

for the sake of that happiness, which you hope for, and is reserv'd for you in heaven, of which you have already been inform'd by the preaching of the truth, that is, the gospel:

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ, and God our father, who has loved us, and by his favour given us the advantageous hopes of eternal joys, consolate your souls,

that by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to deceive us, we, who have no other refuge to fly to, but to maintain our present hopes,

Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us, and given us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the expectation of immortal life,

he that hath such an expectation should purify himself, even as he is pure.

When the son of man shall come in his majesty, accompanied with all his holy angels, he shall sit upon the throne of his glory.

Jesus reply'd, I am: moreover I declare to you, within a while ye shall see the son of man sitting on the right hand of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

whosoever therefore shall be asham'd of me, and of my doctrine in this degenerate and corrupted age, of him likewise shall the son of man be asham'd, when he shall come with the glory of his father, accompanied with holy angels.

and Jesus answered, I AM. and ye shall see the son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

I enjoin you, before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who made a glorious confession before Pontius Pilate;

so Christ being once offered up to take away the sins of many; he shall appear the second time, without making any further expiation to save those who expect him.

to those unbelievers, whose minds the God of this world has so blinded, that the glorious lustre of the gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, does not enlighten them.

I conjure you in the name of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is to judge the living and the dead, at his appearance in his kingdom,

that your faith being put to a more advantageous proof, than that of gold, which loses by the essay, may redound to your praise and highest honour at the appearance of Jesus Christ:

beloved, we are now the sons of God, tho' it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, that when this change shall be, his immediate presence will give us a divine resemblance.

See! he is coming on the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: then all the tribes of the earth will smite their breasts at the sight: even so it will be.
