so that you come short in no gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

For our citizenship exists in heaven, from which also we eagerly await for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

who will transform our lowly body, that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subject all things to Himself.

Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens, being set of fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements, burning with heat, shall melt?

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot or blemish;

in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time [itself],

that having been justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

having hope in God, which even they themselves are waiting for, that there is going to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.

And hope does not put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For by this hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

because of the hope being laid up for you in [the] heavens, in which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

if indeed you continue in the faith, having been founded and firm and not drifting away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was proclaimed to all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and a good hope by grace,

in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong encouragement, who have fled to take hold of the hope being set before [us];

which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and secure, and which enters into the inner [side] of the veil,

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

For I know that He is eternal who is about to deliver me,

which I am conscious of in myself, which my eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in my bosom.

And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and He shall save us; this [is] the Lord; we have waited for Him, and we have exalted, and will rejoice in our salvation.

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will render to each according to his works.

"And when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne.

Jesus said to him, "You said [it]. Nevertheless, I say to you, from now [on], you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

For whosoever is ashamed of Me and My words among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

And Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

I charge you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

so also Christ having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time apart from sin for salvation, to those eagerly waiting for Him.

among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

Whenever Christ [who is] our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead in accordance with His appearing and His kingdom:

Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen!.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
