through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

For we are saved by this hope; but hope that is seen is not hope; for, what any one sees, why does he also hope for it?

in hope, be joyful; in affliction, be patient; in prayer, be per severing;

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the great est of these is love.

that, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints,

that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and having no God in the world:

There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been called in one hope of your calling;

to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the appointment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

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

let us hold fast the unwavering confession of our hope, for he is faithful who has promised;

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope

but reverence the Lord God in your hearts, and be always ready to answer every one that asks of you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

And every one that has this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in heaven.

But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you in addition.

He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of. heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any one serve me, him will my Father honor.

In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him.

Father, I wish that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

who also said: Men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in the same manner in which you saw him go into heaven.

Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know, him, delivered up by the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and with wicked hands did crucify and slay: read more. whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in subjection by it. For David speaks with reference to him: I saw the Lord always in my presence: for he is at my right hand, that I should not be moved. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue sang praise. Moreover, my flesh shall rest in hope; because thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Brethren, I may say to you plainly of the patriarch David, that he died, and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that he would cause one from the fruit of his loins to sit on his throne; foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from his Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear. For David has not ascended into the heavens; but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this same Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.

But the things which God fore told by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he has thus fulfilled. Repent, therefore, and turn, in order that your sins may be blotted out, so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, read more. and that he may send Jesus Christ, who was destined for you; whom heaven must retain, till the time for restoring all things that God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets of ancient times.

And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world, in righteousness, by the man whom he has chosen, giving to all assurance of this, by having raised him from the dead.

But when Paul perceived that one part belonged to the Sadducees, and the other to the Pharisees, he cried out, in the Sanhedrin: Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead am I judged.

And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

Having, therefore, obtained help from God, I have stood till this day, testifying both to small and to great, saying nothing else than the things which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass:

For this reason, I called for you, that I might see you and speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.

but declared to be the Son of God with power, according to his holy spiritual nature, by his resurrection from the dead,

Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience, and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope;

The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are the children of God; and, if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together. read more.

For we know that every creature groans, and is in pain together, till now: and not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

and not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by this hope; but hope that is seen is not hope; for, what any one sees, why does he also hope for it?

Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power: for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. read more. The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed. For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him. And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all.

But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes.

because we know, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you shall be partakers of the comfort. For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which came upon us in Asia, that we were exceedingly oppressed, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. read more. But we have in ourselves the sentence of death, that we may not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead; who delivered us from so great a death, and does still deliver us: in whom we have confidence, that he will continue to deliver us,

For whatever promises of God there are, are in him yes, and in him amen, to the glory of God by us.

For we know that if our earthly house, which is but a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall arise first;

And so, when he had waited patiently, he received the promises. For, verily, men swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction. Wherefore, God, being more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of his promise the immutability of his purpose, inter posed an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us;

But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings; partly, while you became a public spectacle, by reproaches and afflictions: partly, while you became partakers with those who were so treated. read more. For you sympathized with me in my bonds, and endured joyfully the seizure of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and abiding substance in the heavens.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ s, and he shall reign from age to age. And the twenty-four elders that sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God, read more. saying: We give thee thanks, Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, because thou hast taken thy great power, and hast reigned.
