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

let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised up from the dead ones, in this name this one stands before you whole.

Therefore, having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be borne on to maturity, not laying down again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one according to His great mercy having regenerated us to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
