And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continue to behold inthe Word of God, as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. we are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.
He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which He poured richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We too believe and therefore we speak, assured that He Who raised up he Lord Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and bring us along with you into His presence.
God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, love and sound mind.
Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all will be given you besides.
I passed on to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
That He was buried, that He rose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold, And that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
May Christ through your faith settle down in your hearts!
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!
Praised be the God and Fathe of our Lord Jesus Christ!
And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be torn up out of their land which I gave them, says the Lord your God.
