Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! On account of this the world does not know you, because it did not know Him.

Everyone that believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone that loves Him that begot also loves him that is begotten of Him.

I will give to them in My house and within My walls an honorable place, better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

How abundant is the multitude of Your goodness, O Lord, which You have laid up for them that fear You! You have wrought [it] out for them that hope on You, in the presence of the sons of men.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

For now we see through a mirror by reflection, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

For our momentary light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

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.

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

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.

But I shall appear in righteousness before Your face: I shall be satisfied when Your glory appears.

Because whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.

And just as we have borne the image of the [man] made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly [Man].

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.

through which have been given to us precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through these we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

[and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord;

You have made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me with joy with Your countenance: at Your right hand [there are] delights forever.

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

Father, I desire that those also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, so that they may behold My glory which You gave to Me; because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

For now we see through a mirror by reflection, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Therefore always being confident, and knowing that while we are in the body, we are away from home from the Lord

but we are confident and prefer rather to be away from home from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
