My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if someone should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

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.

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."

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

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

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 the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior 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.

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.

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

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!.

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

By this love has been perfected with us: that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because just as He is, we also are in this world.

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.

Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; they shall not be ashamed nor confounded forever.

Just as it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame."

And who will abide the day of His coming? Or who will withstand at His appearing? For He is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.

And, behold, I will send to you Elijah the Tishbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes;

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

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ at His coming.

so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

Now [may] the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers died, all things continue as from the beginning of creation."

by which the world at that time perished, being flooded by water;

But in this let it not escape your notice, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, both the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up.

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?
