And on their behalf I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in Truth.

And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made complete in one, and that the world may know that You sent Me, and love them as You love Me.

And I have made known to them Your name, and will make it known, that the love with which You love Me may be in them, and I in them.

And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the Man of Heaven.

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.

And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

For to which of the angels did He ever say: You are My Son, today I have begotten You? And again: I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?

And again, when He brings the Firstborn into the world, He says: Let all the angels of God do homage to Him.

and from Jesus Christ, the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn out from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth; to Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
