For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in the heavens, not made by human hands.
The one who conquers, I will make into a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never go out again. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
Little children, I will be with y’all a little while longer. Y’all will look for me, and just as I said to the Jews I am telling y’all now, ‘Where I am going, y’all can’t come,’
But I have told y’all these things so that when the time comes, y’all may remember that I told y’all about them. I didn’t tell y’all these things from the beginning, because I was with y’all.
Father, I desire that those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they might see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has released us from our sins by his blood—
Y’all heard me say to y’all, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to y’all.’ If y’all loved me, y’all would have rejoiced because I am going to my Father, for the Father is greater than I.
