1 John 3:2

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

Moses said to Yahweh, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.

He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”

All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. 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.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

However I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are among this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!

Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.

For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

“But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderers’ soap;

that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
