The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.
Blessed is the one who endures trials, because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at , the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
But as it is written, What no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived – God has prepared these things for those who love him. ,
Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.
Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is.
Therefore, we ourselves boast about you among God’s churches #– #about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions that you are enduring.
