For I know that my Redeemer is alive, and He shall stand at the latter time upon the earth;

and after my skin has been struck off from my flesh, I shall see God:

When I cry out, then my enemies shall be turned back. This I know, for God is with me.

For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep safe what I have committed to Him until that Day.

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

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother remains in death.

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not from us.

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you have been taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

even moreso those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the grass!

However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

As is the man of dust, so also are those of dust; and as is the Man from Heaven, so also are those of Heaven.

Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up with reminders,

knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ made known to me.

You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it; You dissipate me in the storm.

Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, of what sort ought you to be in holy behavior and godliness,

In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf;

to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
