"And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”"

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

"He was in the beginning with God."

"All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."

"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

"Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”"

"I and My Father are one.”"

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

"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."

"And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,"

"who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.""

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,"

"because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them."

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,"

"because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."

"yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live."

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;"

"one Lord, one faith, one baptism;"

"one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,"

"who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,"

"but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men."

"And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."

"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,"

"that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,"

"and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers."

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

"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;"

"and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."

"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope."

"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus."

"For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep."

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first."

"Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord."

"Therefore comfort one another with these words."

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works."

"Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,"

"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,"

"as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,"

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

"For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one."

"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb."
